Rock Water

– self-denial, rigidity and self-repression

Rock Water

…is one of the remedies that Dr. Bach grouped under the category of Overcare for the Welfare of Others.

Introduction to the 27th Bach Flower on my blog @AngelaWuerz.com

Rock Water is for people who hold themselves to extremely high standards, often denying themselves joy and relaxation. They are disciplined to the point of being rigid, following strict routines in diet, exercise, work, or spiritual practices. Their beliefs about morality, religion, or health are unwavering, and while they don’t force their views on others, they hope to inspire by example.

These individuals are hardworking and deeply committed, but they rarely feel satisfied with their progress. Even when exhausted, they push themselves to keep going, believing they must always do better. If they fail to meet their own high expectations, they feel disappointed or guilty.

The positive potential of Rock Water is learning to balance discipline with flexibility. Instead of being ruled by rigid rules, they develop the ability to adapt and enjoy life’s flow. They realize that true strength comes not from self-denial, but from inner peace and balance.

Dr. Bach’s description of Rock Water:

“Those who are very strict in their way of living; they deny themselves many of the joys and pleasures of life because they consider it might interfere with their work. They are hard masters to themselves. They wish to be well and strong and active, and will do anything which they believe will keep them so. They hope to be examples which will appeal to others who may then follow their ideas and be better as a result.”
