All of Bach’s flower essences are made from flowers, except one - Rock Water.
Is it really a flower essence?
All flower essences are made with spring water which makes it an integral part of the essence.
Spring water is used because it is newly emerged from the ground making it a fresh slate for essence making.
Rock Water comes from a well or spring which is in a natural state and also known as a healing centre. The source should be protected by natural forces but untouched by man and not controlled in any way.
Water is a medium that readily absorbs the thought forms and patterning to which it is exposed. By choosing a spring or well in its natural state, it is free from patterning that might influence the essence.
A Rock Water person shows the rigidity and obduracy of stone that contrasts with the softening, fluid movement of water. The complementary gestures are illustrated immediately by the two elements involved. Rock Water is a blank slate, an opportunity to reset and return to our natural state – losing rigidity of thought and action.
It is no coincidence that all flower essences are made with pure spring water as it emerges from the earth into the light. Water is the message carrier.
In Bach Flower Essences & The Patterning of Water, Julian Barnard explores how the water takes up and carries the messages of flowers so that we may receive them in the form of flower essences.
