Symptoms: Anger, jealousy, envy, hatred, suspicion, revenge.
The Holly type experiences feelings of anger, jealousy, envy, hatred against another. It is said to be one of the commonly needed remedies. It certainly would be useful in some spiritual circles I've seen!
Holly is a very useful remedy when you're feeling intense feelings of hatred or the need to hurt or do something to someone, especially on a psychic level. It's the remedy to take when you feel an overwhelming urge to do something destructive to make a point.
Actions based on such feelings rarely get the results you want as the other person does not see things from your point of view.
For Empaths:
There are certain remedies that come up time and time again for empaths. Holly is one of them.
While the remedy is good for jealousy, envy, hate and distrust, the main emotion that many empaths feel is anger.
They perceive so much injustice, and they often feel impotent to be able to do anything about it.
Anger is a big problem of the empath who is on the spiritual path. For some reason, they believe that they must not get angry. They try to forgive the trespasses against them, but all that happens is that they feel like they are letting others get away with their actions, and they are allowing themselves to be abused.
The next stage is they try to repress the anger, and then become angry about not being allowed to express anger. This leads to a sharp, psychic type of headache, which tends to center around the third eye area, and can also lead to the Cherry Plum state.
Taking Holly won't make the situation change, but rather your anger will no longer have any control over you. You will experience a shift in perspectives and know that everything is as it should be.
