– the inability to say ‘no’.

Centaury

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped together under the category of oversensitivity to Influences and Ideas.

Introduction to the fourth Bach Flower on my blog @AngelaWuerz.com

Centaury people are gentle and kind people who want to help. However others might easily take advantage of them. Centaury supports the development of courage and self determination.

Therefore we’re able to make better decisions for ourselves without the influence of others.

The positive potential of Centaury is shown in people who serve willingly and un- obtrusively, but without denying their own needs. They can express and defend their own opinions and mix well in company. Above all, they are in touch with what they want and can now follow their own path with determination and energy, unhampered by the opinions of others.

Dr Bach’s description of Centaury

Kind, quiet, gentle people who are over-anxious to serve others. They overtax their strength in their endeavours. Their wish so grows upon them that they become more servants than willing helpers. Their good nature leads them to do more than their own share of work, and in so doing they may neglect their own particular mission in life.

… mental torture behind a cheerful face

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped under the category oversensitivity to influences and ideas.

Introduction to the 1st Bach Flower on my blog @AngelaWuerz.com

…is the remedy for people who pretend to be cheerful and happy. Do you remember the sad clown who cheers everybody up while he himself is close to tears – that is the Agrimony personality. He/she does not share anything and even friends are the last to know that anything is wrong.

Sometimes Agrimony people use alcohol or drugs to help them stay ‘happy’. They do not like to be alone as it’s easier to pretend when there are people around you. However when they are alone their thoughts are coming back and they won’t stop.

Agrimony helps us overcome difficulties and we can live in more harmony. It helps us realize that laughing rather than dwell on our problems helps us overcome them. Agrimony helps anyone who tries to hide problems to work on solving them.

The positive potential of Agrimony is for those who are genuinely cheerful and good company, communicate their real feelings openly and can accept that life has its less pleasant side. Their cheerfulness stems from a real sense of self-acceptance and inner joy; they see problems in perspective and are diplomatic peace makers.

Dr Bach’s description of Agrimony

The jovial, cheerful, humorous people who love peace and are distressed by argument or quarrel, to avoid which they will agree to give up much. Though generally they have troubles and are tormented and restless and worried in mind or in body, they hide their cares behind their humour and jesting and are considered very good friends to know. They often take alcohol or drugs in excess, to stimulate themselves and help themselves bear their trials with cheerfulness.
