(THYSANOTUS tuberosus)
"Be at peace and see a clear pattern and plan running through all your lives, Nothing is by chance" - Eileen Caddy, FOOTPRINTS ON THE PATH
The Doctrine of Signatures of these beautiful violet flowers resembles an aura with the hair-like cilia around the petal edges. The main function of this essence is to help restore a person's aura after it has been damaged by shock or trauma. The shock may have been caused by the loss of a loved one, bad news or an unexpected event.
Fringed Violet helps people deal with shock so that it does not affect their inner peace. It prevents them from being thrown off balance by external events.
For some time after birth a baby's aura is open, like at its anterior fontanel. Putting a few drops of the Fringed Violet essence on this spot and making the sign of the cross over it will help to close the aura to negative influences. Some midwives advise that a child should not be taken out of the house for six weeks after birth for that reason. This precaution is unnecessary after using Fringed Violet, as the protection is immediate. It can be applied once a day for a few days.
Fringed Violet is very useful for someone who has never felt well since a particular event such as surgery or bad news, as it is able to release an individual from a long-standing trauma. After an amputation, some people experience a curious phenomenon called phantom limb pains in which they have sensations apparently from the part of the body that was amputated. Kirlian photography can show that the aura of the amputated limb still exists in its place.
The expression "to jump out of one's skin" is literally what happens with fright - the inner and outer bodies become unbalanced. Fringed Violet helps to realign these bodies after a shock or trauma.
Fringed Violet helps to keep intact a person's protection, thus blocking off unwanted external energies. It is excellent for people who are drained by others or those who unconsciously absorb the physical and emotional imbalances of other people.
It is also a good remedy for birth trauma, as birth is usually a time when individuals are at their most susceptible and sensitive.
Unresolved shock can manifest in a nervous breakdown or other illness 12-18 months later. Fringed Violet goes back to the time of the shock and helps to neutralise it. Fringed Violet can also heal breaks or holes in the aura.
