Honeysuckle

Dysfunctional state of mind

Living in the past, nostalgia

Innate resource / positive virtue

Memory / Overcoming

Positive affirmation

"What I love of the past lives inside me in the present; happiness is already waiting for me here and now!"

Honeysuckle is the Bach flower for people who live in the past, who are nostalgic for the good old days, the memory of happy experiences or unfulfilled ambitions.

By nature, Honeysuckle is endowed with a remarkable mnemonic capacity. We could say that Memory is its innate resource. However, this ability arises from an inability to feel fulfilled in the present life, which can lead the Honeysuckle type to escape into reminiscence of more pleasant times gone by or of loved ones from the past with which they have lost touch.

Honeysuckle therefore invites us to develop the virtue of Overcoming, that is, the ability to go beyond the path we have travelled, while relying on the experience that, consciously or unconsciously, remains inscribed in our being. In fact, what makes Honeysuckle functional is the ability to act in the present by putting into use past lessons.
