Bach Flower Remedies
Rock Water
There are a great number of holy wells elsewhere and a local map will often
mark the sites. On seeing a well it may at once be apparent if it is either
disturbed, polluted or interfered with. Often they are lost in a field but then
there can be the problem of cattle or sheep or chemicals from farming which seep
into the water table. It is important to find one that still has pure water and
that will probably mean going to high ground. Common sensitivity will make a good choice.
Preparation
Rock water is prepared by the sun method. Choose a perfect day in midsummer and simply expose the bowl of
water in clear sunlight. Bach mentions that one hour is sufficient to
make the remedy but a longer time may be advisable.
Uses
Mental rigidity, self-martyrdom, self-denial.
Rock Water people live life by a set of rules. Their standards are so high
that they are sometimes unattainable without self-sacrifice and extreme
hardship. Yet it is this very harshness and self-discipline that is the
driving force of the Rock Water personality. They almost enjoy denying
themselves pleasure in life, because by doing so they are reaching their
goals. Rock Water people are unrelenting, and all aspects of life become
dominated by self-righteousness. They may have extreme religious
beliefs, or a desire to be upstanding citizens and show others by example the right way to be.
Rock Water tendencies in an animal may be difficult to detect, but
they may be seen in animals that have become rigid minded in their
approach to life, often as a result of human intervention. For example,
there are elements of Rock Water in the military horse that is so used to
being disciplined to a particular way of walking and behaving that it can
no longer relax and walk and run freely. This remedy may also benefit
cats that have become used to the same diet and then find it hard to
become flexible and eat new things, or dogs that insist on going for
walks at exactly the same hours each day, regardless of the weather or their own state of health.
