Learning the lessons of life experience, understanding the laws of karma; wisdom.
Patterns of imbalance:
Poor observation of life, failure to learn from experience; repeating mistakes.
Three of the Chestnut flower essence remedies (Chestnut Bud, Red Chestnut, and White Chestnut) address obsessive-compulsive behavior in the personality. Chestnut Bud flower essence is used to help break free of overly repetitive and habitual patterns which retard the soul's full development. This flower essence is indicated where there is a constant repetition of life experience without the ability of the soul to glean wisdom and insight.
Chestnut Bud flower essence particularly stimulates the cognitive capacities so that the individual is able to grasp more completely and more rapidly the essential nature of the experience at hand, and learn appropriate lessons. In this way, the individual is freed from the compulsive need to repeat mistakes and re-create regressive patterns. This flower essence is obviously helpful in many learning situations, and is also useful in a broader way when the soul needs to break through deeply resistant karmic patterns.
