Combination 4

Combination 4
Consists of the blossom remedies: Love and Hope, Flutewort, Yarrow, Christmas Plum, Herb Don't Stir Me, Water Lily, Star of Bethlehem.
Keywords of this combination are:
Physical relaxation; comfort; panic; dealing with worry and despair
Combination 4 makes the compulsions, fear of losing self-control, panic, feelings of flight, nightmares and pain of old pain, old traumas and (old) grief disappear.
You dare to show more of yourself. You no longer grit your teeth, bite your nails, fidget or hyperventilate. You can sleep better.

Love and hope
Love and Hope people have chronic panic. Chronic panic does not always show itself as panic, more as escape behaviour: If you are startled by e.g. a mouse suddenly in front of
you out and that this makes you run, then it could be related to chronic panic. Or that you have to go to a reception because that's what's important and you'd rather run hard.
So how does this state of mind arise? It can be related to a life-threatening birth because the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's head, a caesarean section, a forceps delivery or an imminent drowning and to war situations; so in many situations where your life was at stake. Also if someone has been a victim of violence, in any form, and you can think of a parent who just hit it out. With events in the present, such a mouse or a reception or other "simple" things "trigger" this always latent panic. As told, flight behaviour can occur or you become paralysed with terror, the feeling of your heart stopping beating or a sense of helplessness overwhelming you. Through Love and Hope, flight behaviour turns into courage. You are able to stand up for others in emergency situations. You have great presence of mind.

Very often fear is put under the same "heading" as panic.
As noted below:
We speak of a panic attack when a person is overcome by a great, intense fear at unexpected moments. A person then has the feeling of losing control of themselves. The idea of fainting, dying or going crazy is overwhelming. In addition to these thoughts, during such a panic moment there are also all kinds of physical symptoms that intensify the fear. For instance, a person may experience hyperventilation, palpitations, trembling and/or sweating. A panic attack can occur anywhere, without immediate cause. In the Netherlands, 4% of people have ever had a panic attack. But a panic disorder is only present when the fear of panic attacks starts to dominate one's life. In many people, panic disorder is accompanied by fear of the streets (agoraphobia).
In my option, agoraphobia has nothing but nothing to do with panic. With that, I think more of the remedy Maskerflower.

Fluteswort
Fluteswort puts you two feet on the ground, makes you feel very big and gives you a good sense of self-worth, connectedness with the rest of the world. It makes you aware of yourself, you learn to consider and accept. It is a "meditation herb" and it makes you feel complete, "easy-going", sunny - light, tension disappears, feet become "fuller". It helps release blocked emotions.

Knotweed
Knotweed people have repressed their emotions and go through life seemingly carefree and cheerful, keep the mood up and like to joke around. In the pub or at a party, they are usually the gangsters. To outsiders, these people seem not to suffer from anything. This is because of repressed emotions and a seemingly carefree life. Profound things are not talked about. Much remains superficial. If you ask them how they are doing, they will always reply with : "Good!"
These people can tend to be overweight, especially around the waist and no matter what you do, it just won't go away. Even though you have followed so many diets, as soon as you stop, the kilos fly back on. Knotweed brings up the repressed emotions and disentangles one or more of the many knots (blockages) you still have and makes these emotions visible.

Christmas plum
Christmas plum people have a lot of inner turmoil, feeling like they are sitting on a powder keg or could explode at any moment. They are afraid of losing their self-control and thereby harming another person or themselves. This often manifests itself in the form of hyperventilation, teeth grinding or nail biting or constant fidgeting. Christmas plum makes the compulsive disappear, you no longer have to bite your nails or grind your teeth and allows you to breathe deeper and better. The fear of losing all self-control that can drive you to the brink of despair disappears. You no longer have to fear that dark, negative and destructive forces are at work. Kerspruim ensures that you are shielded to such an extent that these do not have a hold on you. Plum also protects you from unnamable influences from people. Influences that make you feel bad and are difficult to put into words.

Spice don't stir me
Herb don't stir me gives you protection and support. This remedy gives you strength from within, also lets you get to your own power and gives you the courage and energy and you are able to go your own way if you are very sensitive. You stand consciously in life and with both feet on the ground.
You can find the detailed description of Herb don't stir me at the 23-12-2016 and 30-12-2016 blogs.

Water lily
Water lily causes you to come out of the depths, darkness and find the light again. Gives hope from the universe for now and the future. Everything will turn for the better.
I described Waterlily in the booklet "Mindfulness by Nature", Balm for the Soul,in this way.
What I have noticed in recent years is that Water Lily enhances the Day Cuckoo Flower remedy even more. That means your self-confidence gets another huge "extra boost" as a result.

Star of Bethlehem
The remedy Star of Bethlehem is in every combination.
Star of Bethlehem people have suffered injuries in life. A psychic shock can disrupt the entire energetic nervous system. They suffer from grinding
thoughts, however, only about unpleasant, painful situations. You feel sadness at disappointments or after an accident or the loss of a loved one. The effects of pregnancy
or a childhood trauma or shock can still have major consequences today. And with every injury/hurt, the wound is ripped open further.
This is the reason Star of Bethlehem has been added to every combination.
Experiences:
A nurse, after being pregnant for 8 ? months, loses her baby daughter. After taking the remedy, it turns out (she felt she had suffered this loss from years ago
a place), that she had dreamt of her baby at night and also of the first child who had died in hospital during her shift. In the morning, she was
woke up feeling like: how could I have dreamt about this, it has been so long ago. It turns out that it is now really out of her system and it is now really resolved.
This she underwent with joy. The old blockage was gone.
The remedy really helps dissolve these blockages of old wounds. And gives joy. An old blockage that every person has is the trauma of birth. Tip: With every birth, I recommend putting 6 drops of Star of Bethlehem in the baby's bath water or the bottle in the cot (be careful not to let your baby reach it) to "neutralise" the birth shock.
Further information on Star of Bethlehem can be found at the blog of 02-03-2016.

Combination 4 is related to the triple-heater meridian.
According to traditional Chinese acupuncture theory, this is a purely fine-material organ consisting of three domains, for which no counterpart can be found at the gross-material level.

The next blog will be about Chakra 2, what it does and what symptoms belong to it.
