Centaury (Centaurium umbellatum) is a flower essence for individuals who have difficulty saying "No;" find themselves being opposed on or bullied by others; are easily influenced; and are usually timid, quite, passive, and display little strength of will.This Essence is for those who can"t say "no." They let themselves be imposed on and even bullied by others. For example, if your boss knows that you have to leave early on Wednesdays, to pick up your daughter from soccer, but every Wednesday you boss has something you need to have done before you leave and you always end up staying longer and therefore always shows up late after your daughter"s soccer is over over. Centaury helps you say "not today, I need to pick up my daughter. Any other day is okay but not on Wednesdays." Centaury will help you stay in touch with your own wishes and you will be able to express and defend your own opinions.
