Oak

The pedunculate oak is widespread in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. It is a robust, majestic tree that can grow up to 35 meters tall and live for 700 years. The leaves have a typically wavy edge, and even in winter the tree is never completely without leaves. An oak tree usually does not bloom for the first time until it is 50 to 80 years old. It blooms from April to June. The female flowers look like reddish buds, the male catkins like knotted strings. The fruits are acorns.

Oak can be used to learn how to manage our energy. It gives us new energy when we feel physically exhausted and makes us feel safe and protected. Feelings can be accepted without seeing them as a weakness.

Quote by Dr. Edward Bach: "Our only goal is to recognize our faults and strive to develop the virtue that counteracts the faults. Do not fight against your illness and worries, but forget them, concentrate on developing this virtue."

Physical essence effect: Overwork (workaholic) without allowing yourself to rest can lead to various physical complaints. Oak imparts courage and the necessary strength and freshness to tireless efficiency and tenacity. With its help, you take better care of yourself and are not afraid of your own weaknesses. You assess your limits more sensibly and allow yourself more rest, recovery and relaxation.

Emotional: If feelings of ambition, stubbornness and intransigence (especially towards oneself) lead one to act to the point of self-sacrifice, the Oak is recommended as a natural power regulator. It conveys a strength that works in different directions. It energizes the body, but also gives the inner energy to say no to self-exploitation. By being able to correctly assess one's strength, work and relaxation phases can alternate harmoniously. The Oak essence is well suited to people with double burdens and gives them the realization: If you don't enjoy, you become unenjoyable.

Mental: In the mental area, rigid attitudes can be dissolved. We recognize that more flexibility, more relaxation and enjoyment can significantly improve everyday working life. This allows us to create a new mental work pattern that is characterized by more understanding and empathy for ourselves and others. During extreme professional challenges, the essence helps to complete the task and allows us to develop flexibility and a willingness to compromise. We accept and affirm the role of being a support and pillar for others.

Spiritually: We experience more strength for our tasks, but also understanding and empathy when this strength is exhausted. The increased sensitivity is noticeable in every area of life. You no longer run blindly towards your goal, but are guided by your higher self for your own good and that of others. With this essence, extreme demands and bottlenecks can be met without missing the lightness of life.

Children: In an Oak deficiency state, the child is very ambitious and does not like to accept help from others. Promotes the willingness to allow oneself to take breaks, to accept help and to accept mistakes made.

Animals: The animal fights its way up the stairs bravely and courageously despite being injured. It never gives up, is tireless and combative. The Oak essence gives the animal more composure and lightness. Your determination to achieve a goal dissolves.

Affirmation: I have time for both work and relaxation; strength and cheerfulness are within me.
