Centaury

It helps strengthen your willpower, set boundaries, and be able to say no. It helps with fatigue, stress, and a lack of independ.

The name of this plant comes from the mythological figure of the centaur Chiron. It has also been derived from "centum" (Latin: one hundred), meaning 1,000 guilders. Centaury grows hidden at the edge of forests, in meadows, and on wasteland. It changes location from year to year and prefers dry, not too acidic soils. The plant reaches a height of up to 50 cm. Its elliptical leaves are arranged in opposite pairs. The individual flowers appear for only one day between June and September. They are pale pink, about 15 mm in size, have five petals, and are arranged in umbels.

Essence Effect: Centaury supports the will. It helps you be yourself, distance yourself from the demands of others, and also be able to say no.

Quote from Dr. Edward Bach: "Centaury will help you find your true self so that you can become an active, positive worker instead of remaining a passive doer. Centaury promotes gentleness and forbearance, reducing excessive mental and physical tension."

Physically: Centaury energetically helps overcome symptoms of fatigue and sudden bouts of weakness. It also brings new energy to situations where one feels exhausted, weak, and stressed. This essence firms posture and supports self-healing processes on an energetic level.

Emotional: In a Centaury deficiency state, it's usually difficult to say no. In order to please others (and thereby gain recognition), one puts one's own feelings and desires in the background. This often relegates oneself to the role of "doormat." This can lead to imitating strong personalities and even slavish submission to stronger people (masochism). Centaury helps strengthen our will and personality and reclaim the power over ourselves that we've given up.

Mental: We can strengthen our willpower to consistently pursue personal goals. It strengthens us in setting boundaries, promotes our clear expression, and instills the courage to go our own way. It empowers us to stand by our own opinions, even when we face resistance from others.

Spiritual: Helps us serve life, not the individual. We gain insights into how we can free ourselves from the clutches of others and become open to our own intuition. It supports growth processes and promotes self-development. We increasingly feel ourselves filling our inner space and how the strength to follow our own path grows.

Children: If children are easily exploited and oppressed by others, Centaury can help them gain more independence and assertiveness. They overcome conformity and develop their own personalities within their family, school, and community.

Animals: Centaury can be recommended for animals that are extremely submissive. It helps the animal gain inner strength and dissolves fears. Previously submissive and joylessly trying to guess its master's wishes, this essence will help the animal find greater composure and independence.

Corresponding gemstone: Lapis lazuli

Affirmation: I am strong and free myself from the power of others. My path is clear to me, and I walk it with joy and self-confidence.
