Life can feel hard sometimes. It’s all too easy to fall down the rabbit hole of gloom or despair, to feel like what you do doesn’t matter or that it’s just too much for you to want to bother. In that dark hole, it seems like there’s no joy in this life. What are you even here for?
There’s an old saying “Don’t forget to smell the roses.” In a hard-scrabble life, when life seems like it’s just about work or struggle, the advice is always to find something good to appreciate. Or, if you want to approach this from a flower essence point of view, don’t forget to take your rose flower essences! Bach Wild Rose and California Wild Rose both help with finding the joy in life once again.
Bach Wild Rose is best for the person who wants to hide away from it all. They feel resigned to life rather than happy to be here. Better to just go back to bed. This flower essence helps such a person regain their enthusiasm. It dispels the apathy associated with the negative Wild Rose state and replaces it with a sense of purpose and love of life.
California Wild Rose is also for taking hold of life on Earth but the love involved extends to loving the earth itself. I think of this essence as embodying more strength of heart as well as life purpose either within the home or in the world.
