They hope to be examples which will appeal to others who may then follow their ideas and be better as a result.” – Dr. Edward Bach

While included in the list of 38 Bach Flower Essences, Rock Water is not a plant, but water from natural springs in areas far from civilization. Here the waters are not exposed to environmental conditions caused by man, but only to the sun, the wind, and the pollens from natural trees and grasses.
The person in a negative Rock Water state is not much fun to be around - either for himself or for others. His high ideals and expectations of himself make him rigid, and as unmoving as a rock. Conversation with this personality is not generally satisfying as he adheres only to his own view, whether the subject is politics, philosophy, or some mundane aspect of living. There is no exchange of ideas with the person in need of this particular Bach Flower Remedy.
He may subconsciously wish to be "a saint" while still on earth and will inflict self-reproach when modern life makes it impossible to live under ancient ascetic visions of life.
While he doesn't have a great deal of interest in imposing his own philosophy on others, he does tend to conceitedness. He possesses a form of spiritual pride bordering on self-righteousness.
The Rock Water personality desperately wants to "be good," and has lost touch with the fact that everyone makes mistakes. He also wants to achieve spiritual development externally, rather than by connecting with his own Higher Self to guide him. In fact, his personality does battle with his Higher Self.
This self-absorption causes the Rock Water person to completely miss the fact that one grows through service to others.
After treatment with Bach Flower Remedies, this personality is able to examine and consider new insights and theories. However, he will not be easily swayed by others. He will look inside to find answers, but now with guidance from his Higher Self.
Once in the positive Rock Water state, this person is a joy to be with, as his own joy and inner peace are radiant.
Recommended dose: Four Drops to be taken every four hours away from food and beverage.
