Gorse

(Ulex Europaeus)

Gorse is a strong, perennial bush and its branches are endowed with resistant thorns. It can be found in the temperate zones of Europe and north of Europe. It can reach 2 meters of height and it is rich in nitrogen. Its golden yellow flowers sprout throughout the year; nevertheless, the period of more voluptuousness is between March and June.

Essence Effect: Gorse gives us new hope and energy to start again after overcoming difficulties.

Essence Effect on the Body: Those lacking gorse present a yellowish tone in the complexion. There is no brightness in their look and they have sunken eyes. When the healing processes reach a state of stagnation, Gorse essence helps us persevere.

Mood: The person abandons themselves to their luck with an almost morbid neglect. All the time we are tortured by the feeling that nothing goes well, that everything has already been done. The individual sends the message to his environment: "Help me as no one else can". Gorse essence can help us disentangle these complicated situations. With it, we can alleviate the paralysis of our lives and get going again to lead an active life in accordance with our wishes. We recover the will and we do no longer let others convince us as a result of our desperation and pessimism.

Mind: With Gorse, we can dispel the wrong mental preconceptions and replace them. We learn to see the setbacks that had taken us to those negative preconceptions as a lesson. The power of positive thinking occupies again a prominent position and the ´here and now´ becomes important. This essence strengthens the willingness to accept changes with joy and to be distinguished from others in the spiritual level. The person develops personal prospects and opens up spiritually in order to implement it.

Spirit: This essence helps restore hope when we feel we are at a dead end. You regain faith, complete confidence, security, desire to live and joy. Gorse gives us a new impulse in the vital fight. You can feel that faith awakes your self-healing energy. You can also feel that God is by your side so, you can develop confidence in your inner guide and you learn to recognize your desire to live.

Affirmation: My inner sun is shining and I can start again with optimism.
