Flannel Flower essence is for people who don't like physical contact. It is for those who feel uncomfortable about touching or physical closeness. All people have a sense of personal space, some needing a larger area around them than others do. However, those people who don't like being touched often crave closeness. They don't get close to others easily, but when they do they are unable to deal with it. They feel as if their space has been invaded. These people don't like being hugged or touched, so social contact or being in crowded places can be very uncomfortable for them.
Flannel Flower helps people enjoy physical contact and activity. It is a remedy for physical expression, either through touching or through movement like dancing or sport.
The flower itself is soft and furry to touch. The essence adds a softness and gentleness to touch oneself at heart level, when one has been particularly hard on or strict with onself. It helps people to love and approve of themselves.
Flannel Flower increases physical energy. It also helps people express their feelings verbally and develop sensitivity and gentleness in touching, whether in friendship or in a sexual or sensual way. The Australian male is often portrayed as very rough and insensitive. This essence allows this type of man to become more comfortable in expressing the gentler, softer side of his nature. It helps him get close to others, whether they are friends or lovers, and share his feelings with them.
Flannel Flower has an affinity for men or women who have had physical or sexual abuse. It can help these people feel comfortable about being touched so that they can experience physical contact again. It has a very special balancing action on the testes.
It is very good for helping a person establish healthy boundaries with others, whether that be of a physical or emotional nature. Some people without boundaries would find it difficult to open up to one person, and at the same time keep others at a comfortable distance. They either keep everyone at bay or else everyone could just literally walk all over them and they would have great difficulty in saying "no".
It engenders a willingness to give of self.
