## Keynote Indications
Red Chestnut is for those who have selfless over-concern and fear or worry for the
welfare of others, especially of family and close friends. They fear the worst for
their loved ones: that a minor complaint will turn into something serious, that a
child at play will fall, or a holiday plane will crash. They also are fretful and worry
about other people’s problems. It is often a temporary state among carers, nurses,
counsellors, etc.
The positive potential of Red Chestnut is the ability to care for others with com-
passion but without anxiety. Positive Red Chestnut people radiate thoughts of
health and courage to those who need them and remain mentally and physically
calm in emergencies. They are happy to give help when asked but hold back from
forcing help on others.
