	Arnica by Rebecca Brents
Astrology, Tarot, and Self Improvement for the New Age.

Arnica
by Rebecca Brents

As a flower essence, Arnica deals with deep-seated shock or trauma which may solidify in physical scar tissue or become locked in the body through psychological distress and prevent a full healing recovery. Shock of all kinds is a reaction of the human being to outrageous violence or invasion ... physical, emotional, psychological.

Especially during accidents or other episodes of violence, the energy of the body becomes disordered and may even result in dissociation. (dissociation: Psychol. a) a split in the conscious process in which a group of mental activities breaks away from the main stream of consciousness and functions as a separate unit, as if belonging to another person b) the abnormal separation of related ideas, thoughts, or emotions)

In plain English this is when your coping capacity is overwhelmed with stress or injury to the point you cannot think clearly or logically any longer. You cannot concentrate or form orderly step-by-step thought processes. Things don't seem "real" to you." You may also have a dizzy, "floating" feeling ... as if you are "located" somewhere besides your body and are watching yourself behave from a strangely rational and objective feeling point remote from where you physically are.

This feeling of "watching yourself" while you perform actions on automatic pilot, if you will, is evidence of serious psychological shock and stress, and if it recurs or lasts more than a few minutes, it needs immediate attention and possible intervention by a therapist or health care provider. It is evidence of the Higher Self being displaced from the physical body, and becoming properly grounded again may be difficult.

This higher spiritual energy may also not redistribute itself properly in certain parts of the body even though it looks and feels as if one has recovered. (One of the symptoms of shock, in fact, is an ability to carry on normally while not recognizing the extent of one's injuries.) Arnica can be helpful for addressing and unlocking the cause of strange symptoms which seem to have no distinct point of origin, specific cause, and which do not respond to more conventional treatments.

It should be noted, however, that Arnica may function by helping the victim access repressed memories, thus causing him (her) to relive the trauma as a way of purging its effects by bringing the energy to consciousness.

This is therapeutically sound and even necessary ... but the effect itself can be disconcerting and should be kept in mind when dealing with Arnica. Outside supports or therapy may also be advised during such experiences. This is especially true where there was a loss of consciousness during the actual traumatic event.

By re-experiencing the original emotional trauma in mind, the spirit is able to integrate this energy while in conditions of known safety and thus become fully located back in the physical body, inhabiting it normally again. Arnica can also help promote more rapid recovery from short-term trauma if taken right away.

As a therapy in the absence of distinct trauma, Arnica can help the soul become aware of under-utilized physical parts or functions ... and bring them into more conscious use. This, of course, allows for a more complete experience and expression of self

In addition to the liquid essence form, Arnica also comes in small white tablets to dissolve under your tongue to help with healing.
