Hermit Crab will help us through those dark nights of the soul when our alone-ness feels overwhelming. It will help us to reconnect with the soul whose journey is always alone, individual, and unique. With this understanding comes freedom. With this freedom and higher sense of self integrity comes the ability to be at ease in many different circumstances - physically, emotionally, and mentally. In this regard it is a very useful remedy for travellers of inner space as well as outer space.

It diminishes fear.*In counterpoint to this ability to appreciate alone-ness it is also an effective energy pattern to introduce when someone is always avoiding - relationships, life, moving forward. It is for those who skirt the issues and who are so insecure that they are unable to enter and maintain authentic relationships.

Hermit Crab helps us to be comfortable with ourselves no matter where we are. It helps to quiet the mind and appreciate stillness.
