| Impatiens: you might know this flower as busy lizzie |
One of my major life lessons is to keep
doing what I need to without expecting quick results, eventually results do
show, but wanting them makes them seem further away.
In clinic, I often have to explain to
people that they need to take their herbs and remedies, and may not see results
for a few weeks. Sometimes there are processes that happen under the surface,
and suddenly, things get better, like a tipping point in a scale, not
everything is incremental.
What makes me impatient? I usually know
where I would like to get to, in my treatments as well as in my personal life,
I like to aim for something, have a target, work towards a goal, and it feels
like slow torture to wait.
Yoga is teaching me patience, to keep up my
practice even though my body does not always want to bend and twist as it
should, to sit and wait for things to come to me, rather than having to always
keep pushing for results is not in my nature. Taking action towards a goal is
'male' and sitting and waiting is 'female' I guess we need a balance of both,
as both are appropriate at different times.
Needless to say, Impatiens is a remedy I
use quite a lot of in my mixes, as instant gratification is a sign of the times
we are in.
