The
wisdom contained within the Mariposa Lily flower essence reveals a universal
wealth
of possibilities within the inner human being and within the whole of flower
essence therapy. When we use the Mariposa Lily, we are helping the human
individuality discover answers to many pathologies and basic conflicts.
One of these prime areas is that of
addiction
therapy
.

I
have used flower essences for addicted patients for many years, with results
that were very encouraging from the beginning. However, in my clinical experience,
the specific addition of Mariposa Lily has made a significant difference.
|
For example, a
young man of 30 was severely addicted to "speed" and cocaine.
Upon taking Mariposa Lily, he could endure the period of abstinence
from these
drugs. During his recovery, he was stronger in resisting the urge to
return to his former drug use. After one year, relapses have been
minimal. He
commented, "These drops have made me feel better and much more able
to deal with my illness." Even now, after many months, he continues
to take Mariposa Lily.
I have used this
flower for a wide spectrum of addictions, including tobacco, sweets,
and
many kinds of food. A peculiar case involved a woman patient who had
taken essences for a long time. She was addicted to Coca Cola®,
and when she began taking Mariposa Lily, she did not feel the need
to
use this soft drink any more.

Addiction can be
understood as a destructive relationship that binds us and from which
we cannot break free. The object of one's addiction becomes a substitute
for a lack of essential love and nurturing. From this perspective, it
is possible to understand the healing dynamics of Mariposa Lily. This
flower has within its primary pattern enormous potential to restore
wounds
of rejection, abandonment, helplessness, and insecurity. It addresses
the basic archetype of the mother within the soul as the original source
of nourishment.
|
|
I have frequently
observed that within the first weeks of treatment, it is common for
patients
to have dreams or memories about events related to the mother figure.
Clients explore memories about nutrition, protection, or maternal
love. This essence appears to open the unconscious"blind spots" of
childhood.
Flower essence
therapist and teacher Eduardo H. Grecco notes that "Everything
that is not remembered is repeated, everything that is not spoken
is acted." This psychological truth explains how an addictive
behavior is frequently an attempt to calm a deep sensation of unmet
love or nourishment.
Even when results
are not as swift as we might wish, we can always observe gradual and stable
changes when we treat addictive behavior through flower essence therapy.
Particularly with Mariposa Lily, one is able to dive deeply into the foundation
of the personality, where the soul cause of disease manifests.
