Cerato or Ceratostigma (called "the flower of intuition") is one of the Bach Flowers especially indicated for those who always doubt themselves. They are people who feel insecure when they have to make decisions. Human beings unable to decide because they do not believe in themselves.
The Certatostigma state is permanently awaiting the approval of its acts, seeking advice and support in others. They are usually scattered, insecure, but above all very sensitive people, who find it very difficult to have their own opinion or listen to their inner voice.
The Cerato state
Ceratostigma are people who fear making decisions on their own because of a deep-rooted and basic fear of being wrong.
They cannot realize that it is not possible to make decisions in another way and they do not realize that others are marking a personal path.
This person has a hard time realizing that in life it is essential to make decisions for oneself, and many times it is necessary to make mistakes to assimilate the negative experience and learn from its consequences.
Ceratostigma is especially indicated for those people who have great doubts about their own existence, which leads them to maintain a lifestyle based and structured in the monotonous.
This way of life is a comfortable way to avoid taking risks and possible failures, which they fear so much. However, that is the true flower of life, the crux of the matter. Risking, failing, learning and returning to do it right is really living.
As they are asking for help all the time, they run the risk of receiving the wrong advice, which surely goes against their own convictions. But since they lack the courage to impose their own will, they yield to them and assume them as their own.
People who are framed for the taking of Cerato usually imitate their coworkers or their own relatives, or perhaps some television or movie character that has caught their attention.
They believe that in this way they will be more and better recognized and more will be taken into account . But the reality is that they suffer a lot, because that situation doesn't do them any good. They are unconsciously increasing the distance between their inner being and their physical self.
Cerato status in young people
The Cerato behavior pattern is characteristic in youth. Normally the weakest young people try to imitate their stronger partners to try to make a place in the group.
These guys are avoiding trusting their own intuition and their own criteria, and believe that in that way they can become a little more visible to the people around them.
Effects of Cerato - Ceratostigma
Bach Ceratostigma Flower helps these people perceive their own intuition . They may clarify their confusing opinions and abandon the habit of seeking information and advice all the time.
The treatment will increase the levels of concentration and attention and in particular the constancy, will keep the purposes and plans outlined active and strengthen the behaviors.
Cerato helps to forge from own experience, a solid opinion and defend it above all things.
The goal is to stop being influential, a person who depends on the opinions of others and who changes his or her own criteria to get the approval of other people.
In this life we must be ourselves, otherwise we will be deeply unhappy. If we get carried away by what others say constantly, we will be one with the dough, but never happy and full.
