Freedom

"Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains."
- Jean Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract

What does freedom mean to you? Edward Bach writes about how it's being free from the influence of others, so that was obviously a big block to his personal freedom. For me it's about being free of the self-imposed rules I set myself.

Do you live your life with freedom or do you find yourself in chains? What are your chains made from?

Subtle control from others who want you to live your life their way? Take chicory flower essence
A sense of duty that stops you doing things that give you joy? Take oak flower essence
Living by self-imposed rules that stop you being spontaneous and playful? Take rock water essence

Give yourself the freedom to joyfully choose what you do, rather than doing what you think you should do. I'm off to play in the woods instead of doing my duty at the computer and that feels liberating.
