If there’s a key image which I associate with the Walnut flower remedy, it’s thresholds and open doors. A doorway is always an opening to somewhere new or somewhere different. A step forward from here to there.
But we must beware of short-circuiting
the reasoning by thinking great change or new openings automatically require a
dose of Walnut. People may not need it if they are pleased and in the throes of
readily making the transition. Yes, they
may be slightly nervous, daunted, wondering if they’ll cope, but they only need
Walnut if the change is proving difficult to process.
Walnut is not for change, per se, it is for the emotional state
when our resilience, our purpose or stability, is being undermined by other people
or even our outgrown thought patterns.
Walnut is in the Group:
Oversensitive to Ideas and Influences. And just as Centaury (in the same group)
cannot say No to others asking for help, so those in need of Walnut are overly
influenced by other people or the pressures of old habits. And this happens just
at the point where they need to step through the door into a larger
future. So if someone is on the cusp of
changing career or lifestyle but is being persuaded against the move by someone,
or an outside factor, then Walnut would help the individual to resist, and
follow their heart.
In a state where we need
Walnut we are hovering between two worlds, the world of the past, the familiar,
where others want us to remain, and the unknown, uncertain world of our future.
This transitional state can be – psychically – intensely unstable as a new life
struggles to be born, rendering us particularly susceptible to interference
from other energies.
Walnut will protect us from
the influences holding us in the past. It also strengthens our decision and our
determination to step up and out into a new future.
