'In the native healing tradition of the Celtic World, living spring water was called Rock Water – it is the water that emerges out of the depths of the earth into the light. Water that is revivified in the dark womb of the earth and finds its way again to the light is a re-born substance.

Rock Water is the mother of all flower remedies; it is typically an entry-point remedy that softens the soul’s disposition, and introduces the individual to a realm beyond the hardness of the physical body and the material world. Rock Water is not an environmental remedy or a remedy made from rocks, as some New Age thinkers have assumed. Dr. Bach intended that all flower essences be prepared with vibrant spring water, and Rock Water is the base element that is foundational to all true flower essences.'

From 'Perspectives from Julian Barnard on the Flower Essences of Dr. Bach'

Our own 'rock water' that we use in the creation of Daughters of the Well essences pours forth from a fern covered cavern a few hundred metres from the opening of the deep artesian well on the top of Mount Donna Buang in Warburton. High up in the mountain this deep underground spring bursts from the earth in an endless supply of the clearest natural spring water that I have ever tasted and the purity of it's essence is such a gift to healing remedies.

On Monday we see Neptune move into it's Master house of Pisces for the first time since the mid-1800s. This is a time that will herald in an era of appreciation and creation of art, intuition and healing. On this auspicious day we will also have a New Moon in Aries - perfect for inspiration about new projects, creativity and new life! This weekend we are experiencing the Moon in her Dark phase and this can feel like a very heavy and emotional time for some of us. If you are feeling stuck, prepare yourself for monday by de-cluttering in this Dark Moon, particularly old letters, anything that you have not worn in the last 12 months or broken or chipped items that you have been meaning to repair for ages and are just gathering dust. It's time for the new, for the real, for the true self to emerge, why not make a little more room so you can pass through this golden doorway with grace?

Or perhaps it's a good time this weekend to rest and take some time to smell the flowers before you begin this new adventure.
