I would like to talk to you about the beautiful remedy Mimulus. A stunning plant and a remedy that can cover such a wide range of scenarios.
So gentle and yet so bright, so powerful and yet the changes it helps with are so serene, it is a gem in a bottle.
It is one of the 5 remedies for fear that Dr Bach has given us – the fear of the known!
Do you need Mimulus?
Were you the quiet child and school, afraid that you may be noticed or picked on? Perhaps you have a history of bullying that has left you afraid to be yourself.
As an adult maybe you spend a lot of time trying to hide your shyness in social situations – I know I do! I am fine on a screen and with people I know but I dislike intently walking into a room of people I don’t know. I have taken Mimulus to help me with this.
Some people are very good at hiding their negative Mimulus state and in everyday life appear strong and extroverted. Only if you take a second glance will you see they are rather reserved and sensitive – in their hearts they would rather not have much to do with the world. This is often a common trait amongst artists and actors.
How Mimulus can help you
This beautiful remedy can be helpful with many known fears, flying, dentist, public speaking, driving, redundancy, fear of spiders, many phobias, heights and much more.
For the child who is afraid of the dark this remedy can be the shining light, although I do still think that a nightlight is a good idea for little ones.
For the person who is afraid of flying this remedy is always part of the blend I will put together, an absolute essential to bring an air of calm and courage to get onto the plane and feel at ease with the surroundings.
For the public speaker – yes Rescue remedy is great but to have some of this specific remedy beforehand will put this feeling to bed on a permanent basis.
My personal engagements with Mimulus
I have a fear of snakes – I remember trying to put my hand into the concealed box that was about touching snakeskin – I wouldn’t do it – with the aid of mimulus I now know that I could do this.
When we are adults and have children of our own, we have to be careful not to allow our children or grandchildren to be affected by our own fears and inhibitions so therefore I have found that these remedies have enabled me to prepare for my grandchildren growing up – so if I am face with a snake or spider I wont runaway in sheer panic!!
The positive Mimulus
Mimulus provides an inner courage so that you can assert yourself with gentle humour and quiet confidence. It is totally supportive and comforting. An ideal way to feel supported in all that you do.
The Mimulus remedy can enable you to put your fears and worries to one side, develop personal courage, and understand others in similar situations. You will be amazed also how many doors it opens for you and all without fear!
