Holly

Holly grows as an evergreen shrub or tree in Europe (excluding Scandinavia), Asia Minor and North Africa. As a tree it can grow up to 20 metres tall. It has smooth, grey bark and prickly, dark, shiny leathery leaves. Holly is dioecious. The small four-petaled flowers appear in May and June and give off an intense fragrance. The female flowers are pure white, the male flowers are white-pink. Branches with the coral-red, shiny berries of this shrub are traditionally put up at Christmas in Great Britain.

Holly has proven itself in all matters of the heart. When love is to be expressed in its pure form again, free of jealousy, envy and hate. The essence helps in conflicts, to end the trench warfare and to find your way back to true love.

Quote by Dr. Edward Bach: "Our final victory will be through love and tolerance. When we have sufficiently developed these qualities, nothing will be able to harm us, because we will feel compassion and offer no resistance; when there is angry unrest."

Physical essence effect: If physical ailments are caused by negative feelings and thoughts, the Holly essence is recommended. With the Holly essence we can cleanse the energetic level of these ailments, which can lead to physical relief.

Emotional: When we are deficient in Holly, we are often plagued by anger, aggression and combative, envious and jealous thoughts. We are moody, irritable, vengeful, easily angry, quick-tempered and can even become violent. We tend to look for faults in others, not accept responsibility and project ourselves strongly onto others. The Holly essence harmonizes the great negative potential within us and awakens our love. We can recognize our own dark sides, learn to love ourselves and develop love for those around us. Compassion, understanding and charity grow, we treat everyone with love.

Mental: With Holly we can free ourselves from our negative to aggressive-violent thought potential. It also offers protection against new negative attacks. The elimination of enemy images can happen, and a humble attitude towards feelings bears fruit. Because thoughts that are borne by true love find their fulfillment in reality.

Spiritual: Opens the heart to the experience of universal love. It connects us with our higher self and lets us know when we are needed by others. We develop an understanding of deeper human relationships and treat each other more lovingly. The feeling of being in harmony with the world and God intensifies and makes us strong and secure. A beautiful experience is the "Holly realization" that we can achieve a lot with love.

Children: If the child tends to feel left behind, the Holly essence can help them to reduce their negative feelings. This is especially true if the child feels disadvantaged by having a second child. The essence can help to dissolve aggression, hot temper, meanness or a tendency towards violence. It helps the child to accept the arrival of a sibling as an enrichment.

Animals: When Holly is deficient, animals react with jealousy, intense anger or hatred, for example to a new animal in the household. The essence calms the animal down. It allows the other animal its living space and can gradually develop love for it.

Corresponding gemstones: lapis lazuli.

Affirmation: I open my heart to love and approach others openly, kindly and lovingly.
