Flower Essence of the Week: Forget-Me-Not
Forget-me-not (Myosotis silvatica) flower essence "is an important essence to be taken into consideration after the initial stage of the mourning feeling caused by a dear relative's death; it can also be very useful to one who never fully resolved the isolation and abandonment issues after the death of an important family member, or a friend, during childhood." (Flower Essence Repertory).

However, it has occurred to me that it is also important in the therapeutic process when one is in a 'dark night of the soul'. They are at a deeply personal crossroads. Very often this is a deeply held belief or learned emotion/behavior and letting it go causes a certain amount of grief and anxiety and, I dare say, a certain amount of abandonment as this issue could very well have been a comfortable place to reside.
Forget-me-not, in this case, assists in reconnecting ourselves to our own true nature and reinforces our connection to the human family.

On another note, it is blue, the color that supports and identifies the 5th chakra [Vishuddha] ... "The emotion for the 5th chakra is faith and understanding. Because the 5th chakra is located in the throat and governs higher communication, speaking, hearing and listening, it helps us to understand our inner truth and convey it with our voice to the outside world."[nothingbutyoga.com]

At this point I believe it to be one of speaking our desires, our truth and Forget-me-not paves the way not only for remembering, but also for the verbal communication of, and listening to, what our soul sings.
