Honeysuckle
Bach Flower Honeysuckle is used to address feelings of nostalgia, longing for the past, and difficulty moving forward. Here's how Honeysuckle might be applied for both horse and rider:
For Horses:
Past Trauma: Horses that have experienced traumatic events in the past, such as abuse, injury, or neglect, may dwell on these negative experiences, hindering their ability to trust or form new bonds. Honeysuckle can help release the emotional attachment to past traumas, allowing the horse to move forward with a sense of emotional well-being.
Change Resistance: Horses that have difficulty adjusting to changes in their environment, routine, or companionship, such as moving to a new barn or adjusting to a new trainer, may benefit from Honeysuckle to help them embrace the present moment rather than clinging to the past.
Separation Anxiety: Horses that display signs of distress or agitation when separated from a previous companion or familiar environment may find relief with Honeysuckle, helping them adapt to new circumstances and relationships more easily.
For Riders:
Fear of Change: Riders who feel apprehensive or resistant to change, whether in their riding goals, training methods, or personal life, may find Honeysuckle helpful in releasing attachment to the past and embracing new opportunities for growth and development.
Nostalgia: Riders who tend to dwell on past achievements, experiences, or relationships, rather than focusing on the present moment, may benefit from Honeysuckle to help them let go of nostalgic attachments and fully engage in the here and now.
Moving Forward: Riders who feel stuck in their riding progress or career aspirations, perhaps due to past setbacks or disappointments, may find Honeysuckle supportive in releasing old patterns of thinking and opening up to new possibilities for success and fulfilment.
As with any Bach Flower remedy, Honeysuckle should be administered according to the recommended dosage and frequency, either diluted in water or taken directly on the tongue. It's essential to consult with a veterinarian or Bach Flower practitioner to ensure appropriate use and dosage for both horse and rider. While Bach Flower Remedies can support overall well-being, they should not replace veterinary care for horses or medical advice for riders.
