BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: IMPATIENS REMEDY – THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NEGATIVE IMPATIENS STATE
“IMPATIENS” people are self-willed and would prefer to work entirely by themselves and get things done at their own-pace without outside interference, forgetting that every person is a part of the great whole and in the final analysis we all depend upon each other, including those whose lot is to move slow.
The main characteristics of the negative Impatiens state.
1. Are internally restless and under mental tension due to other people working slowly.
2. Finds it hard to wait for things to take their course.
3. Takes the words out of the mouth of others from impatience.
4. Talks so fast while giving instructions that they are hardly assimilated fully.
5. Unnecessary hurry in all walks of life.
6. Cannot tolerate slow working by others—would snatch a piece of work from the worker’s hand to do it faster.
7. Prefers to work alone, at his own pace.
8. Easily flares up and just as quickly calms down.
9. On the physical side, short-term exhaustion; sudden hunger because of fast consumption of energy due to fast pace; sudden pain due to nervous tension, nervous indigestion, hot flashes.
Sometimes, a very irritating red rash appears on the body of a person when he is impatient, cross and irritable.
An infant would immediately get colic if nursed from an irritated mother’s breast.
