The Soul Quality of Cheerfulness & Serenity.
after "Bach Flower Therapy: Theory and Practice"

PREFACE
This page is an example of how one can take the original description of the spiritual Principle addressed by the specified Bach Flower Remedy noted in the reference, at the bottom of this page, and reframe it into a learning tool to assist you to build a new coping skill --- a constructive attitude and behavior pattern.
The description in the book is BEST for a person who has the energy block or is going through a session to release that block. The description by Scheffer is largely of what a destructive attitude and pattern of the spiritual Principle would be like if one had this particular type of energy block. That description enables awareness to increase and allows the Reptilian Structure to more inclusively bring together the components of the block concerned, when indicated, so that it can be released.
AFTER the energy block is gone, one May still find it helpful to counter the still present IMPRINTING that has also been imposed on the Identity by the person's environment. This is NOT always the case. Only about 37% of my clients would benefit from this. Only 11% NEED this benefit to make their improvement assured and hopeful against an environment that encourages the negative Principle. Usually, these are INTENSE people.

MUSTARD relates to the Soul quality of Cheerfulness & Serenity.
Remaining focused on one's Spiritual Guidance while acknowledging one's Identity perspectives enables a balanced pace of involvement and reverence that is an indicator of a positive Mustard state. One remains cheerful in spite of difficulties and setbacks for it is known that positive outcomes are often the result of the positive co-operative and voluntary efforts of many. It is acknowledged that in our highly physical, political, and, commercial world, there is little opportunity for the average person to learn of spirituality, its principles, and how one can access Spiritual Guidance for help always. That anyone does, that oneself can, and that events ever follow in a spiritually positive direction is indeed something to cheer about.
Feeling gloomy and cut off from one's self and the outside world can often indicate that we have so excluded our Personal Spirit from its involvement and frustrated or sabotaged our Mission so thoroughly that we are in danger of losing our participation in life. It is possible that we have been so focused on the material, personal (Ego) or social (SuperEgo) conscious spheres that we have rejected the benefits which our Personal Spirit can bring to us. Now, it offers to leave our proud existence and we are caught for a moment in the potential predicament of humble acknowledgement, or, death.
When we are also facing severe physical difficulties which threaten our health, even unconsciously, our Reptilian Structure may require all of our conscious resources to meld with its own in order to protect us, mend us, or force us to take remedial action. These may not make rational sense at the time, yet like the hypersensitive person who acts out in anger to drive others away only to lessen the coping requirements that must be addressed, so also, the person in the negative Mustard state may be forced to withdraw in order to recharge overspend batteries.
Falling unexpectedly upon us, so it seems, the black depression and gloom of the negative Mustard state indicate to us that we have not been paying attention and in our lack of awareness we have let routine housekeeping deteriorate to the level of emergency. We have had responsibilities and obligations to observe yet we have been squandering our time and energies running after fantasies and trying to make elephants disappear. It is time for us to get back to reality, find our focus, take our part in the whole, and enjoy the benefits of a Basic Personality optimally involved.
While there are constant demands and distractions which encourage one to deny and turn away from their Personal Spirit, it is only when our Spirit is so drained of energy by our constant misuse of it and squandering of its energy that we fall into the negative Mustard state. Our awareness of the reality of the largely negative human influence on the realization and maintenance of one's spiritual strength can assist us in appreciating what there is and motivating us to encourage greater balance between the dimensions of life that afford greater opportunity for harmony.
Each negative Mustard state is, therefore, a wake up call for us to find our Mission, focus on it, and carry it through to the best of the abilities of our Basic Personality. To the extent that our personal values (Ego), social standards (SuperEgo), and physical health (Reptilian Structure) respect and know their Identity team members of Personal Spirit and Basic Personality, and, that all CHOOSE to look to the direction of Spiritual Guidance -- there will be joy enough and the dark days of depression will be kept away or minimized to the least influence.
