Agrimony
Positive Qualities: Emotional honesty, acknowledging and working with emotional pain, obtaining true inner peace
Patterns of Imbalance: Anxiety hidden by a mask of cheerfulness; denial and avoidance of emotional pain, addictive behavior to anesthetize feelings
Definition: The Agrimony personality appears happy, enthusiastic, popular, and seemingly at peace with the world. However, if one is able to know such a person on a deeper level, it becomes clear that something is deeply troubling the soul. At the heart of such suffering is a secret torment that is hidden, not only from others, but most importantly from the Self. There may be a strong attraction to drugs, particularly alcohol, in order to maintain the mask of cheerfulness. Such persons have often been raised with strict social conventions of politeness or repression, and find it difficult to show or admit vulnerability or pain. This conditioning is particularly strong in men who have been taught that it is unmanly to show feelings. Another variation of this attitude appears among those on a spiritual path who try to emulate a state of bliss by denying or repressing troubling emotions. The Agrimony person needs to find peace as an inner soul reality, rather than an outer state of behavior which others validate. It is their lesson that true inner peace comes from honestly acknowledging pain and transforming it, rather than masking it with a superficial veneer of good cheer or polite tolerance.
