They can crush the joy and hope out of life making it difficult to believe that  things will ever get better, and they make it hard to find the motivation to  reach for something that could help. <\/p>\r\n<div class=\"review\"><div class=\"quote100xl\"><p>Flower essences shine a light into the dark places in our psyches and gently reconnect us to our own inner light<\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/flower-essences\/flower-essences.asp\">Flower essences<\/a> shine a light  into the dark places in our psyches and gently reconnect us to our own inner  light so we can live with more hope, joy and spiritual connection. <\/p>\r\n<p> Here at Crystal Herbs, we make ten essences that are particularly  useful if you&rsquo;re feeling low, dark, hopeless or despondent. <\/p>\r\n<p> Please note that this blog is intended for information only, and  vibrational essences (flower, gem and crystal essences) do not replace assistance  from a qualified medical or mental health professional.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Which are the best flower essences for flat, dark and heavy feelings?<\/h2>\r\n<p> With so many essences to choose from, it can be difficult to find the  ones that will help you most so we&rsquo;ve created this guide to help you hone in on  the best essences for you. In most situations, we recommend that adults take a  combination of Bach Flower Remedies alongside one of our deeper acting essences  for the greatest benefit.<\/p>\r\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/bach\/bach-flower-remedies.asp\">Bach Flower Remedies<\/a> help you to balance how you are thinking and  feeling in the moment, so they can very quickly help to restore an inner sense  of balance and perspective while the deeper acting essences get under the  surface to clear stuck emotions at a deeper level. <\/p>\r\n<p> You can take up to 8 Bach Flower Remedies at a time, and they work  best when you choose the remedies that most closely match how you&rsquo;re feeling. <\/p>\r\n<h2>Our Top Ten Essences Low Mood, Hopelessness, Despondency &amp; Despair<\/h2>\r\n<p>So here are the top essences that we  recommend to help:<\/p>\r\n<h3>1. Gentian &ndash; For  despondency, disappointment and lack of faith<\/h3>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/images\/essences\/Bach\/Gentian-Bach-Flower-Remedy_m.jpg\" alt=\"Gentian Bach Remedy bottles\" width=\"150\" height=\"266\" class=\"imageRight\" title=\"Gentian - Bach Flower Remedies\" \/>\r\n<p>Gentian is the Bach Flower Remedy to choose  when you feel fine if everything seems to be going well, but you lose faith and  sink into a dark hole when things don&rsquo;t go as you&rsquo;d hoped or planned. Perhaps  you didn&rsquo;t get the job or house you wanted or your holiday has been  unexpectedly cancelled and you can&rsquo;t imagine that something better might be  just around the corner. <\/p>\r\n<p> Choose Gentian if you find it difficult to see  the bigger picture, are easily discouraged, feel pessimistic and cynical, and  find it very difficult to see positive solutions to problems.&nbsp; Signs that Gentian is a good choice include  feeling disappointed and discouraged by setbacks, expecting the worst, and  quickly becoming despondent when things don&rsquo;t work out as planned.<\/p>\r\n<p> Gentian helps to restore the qualities of  trust and faith, promoting an optimistic outlook in all situations.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ftC\">\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\/Bach-Flower-Remedies\/Gentian---Bach-Flower-Remedies__p-71-191.aspx\">Gentian | Bach Flower Remedy<br \/>\r\n<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\r\n<h3>2. Gorse &ndash; For hopelessness and  despair<\/h3>\r\n<p>Gorse flower remedy is the one to reach for  when you have lost all hope and don&rsquo;t even believe there&rsquo;s any point in taking  essences at all, such is the deep pit of despair that you have fallen into.  Time and time again, we have seen the power of gorse essence to spread the  bright hopefulness of its sunshine yellow flowers into the most hopeless and  disconnected parts of the psyche. <\/p>\r\n<div class=\"bloc25r\">\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/images\/flowers\/Gorse-Flower.jpg\" alt=\"Gorse flower\" width=\"136\" height=\"214\" class=\"imageRight\" title=\"Gorse flower\"\/>\r\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n<p><strong>Gorse Bach Flower Remedy<\/strong> for feelings of hopelessness and despair and \u2018what\u2019s the point?\u2019<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p> Choose Gorse at times of great hopelessness  and despair, when you can&rsquo;t see the point, when life seems like &lsquo;a lost cause&rsquo;  and you feel resigned to things not getting better. Signs that Gorse is a good  choice include not being able to see a way out of what feels like a hopeless  situation, believing that nothing will ever go right, and giving up hope of improvement  when ill or facing challenges.<\/p>\r\n<p> It can create positive shifts quickly but you  may need to work with it over a period of months to transform deep and heavy  feelings if you&rsquo;ve felt this way for a long time.&nbsp; Over time Gorse helps to dispel deep dark and  hopeless feelings so you can feel hopeful and positive about the future. <\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ftC\">\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\/Bach-Flower-Remedies\/Gorse---Bach-Flower-Remedies__p-71-192.aspx\">Gorse | Bach Flower Remedy<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\r\n<h3>3. Mustard &ndash; For   gloom for no apparent reason<\/h3>\r\n<p> Whereas Gentian Flower Remedy is the one to  choose if you feel despondent when things don&rsquo;t go how you&rsquo;d thought they would,  the state that Mustard treats has no known conscious reason for it. One morning  you feel absolutely fine, the next day nothing has changed on an outward level  but you feel dark and disconnected.<\/p>\r\n<p> This  state of deep melancholy can sometimes rise to the surface as a result of&nbsp; absorbing sorrow from the collective that  strikes a chord with you on deep unconscious levels.  Mustard is the Bach Flower Remedy to choose if  you sometimes experience a black cloud of gloom that hangs over you and comes  and goes for no obvious reason. Some people find Mustard to be very helpful for  seasonal low mood, but this state of deep melancholy can arise  at any time of year. <\/p>\r\n<p>Signs that Mustard is a good choice include heavy,  unshakeable sadness that you can&rsquo;t cover up, and feeling withdrawn, separate  and isolated from the rest of the world.  \r\nMustard helps to dispel the black gloom,  bringing back light and joy so you feel clear headed and light hearted.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ftC\">\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\/Bach-Flower-Remedies\/Mustard---Bach-Flower-Remedies__p-71-200.aspx\">Mustard | Bach Flower Remedy<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\r\n<h3>4. Sweet Chestnut &ndash; For extreme anguish and despair<\/h3>\r\n<p> Sweet  Chestnut Flower Remedy is the one we use when somebody is in extreme anguish  and despair, feeling utterly disconnected from the light of their own soul.  This is a very intense state to be in because it feels unbearable to live with  and often arises at times of real spiritual crisis or breakdown. <\/p>\r\n<p> The  intensity that makes these feelings so painful mean that the anguish is very  close to the surface of conscious awareness so using Sweet Chestnut during  these times swiftly brings relief. It can be taken every 10 minutes if  required. This state of breakdown is often the precursor to a spiritual  breakthrough so use Sweet Chestnut to help you to find the light in the darkest  of times.<\/p>\r\n<p> Choose  Sweet Chestnut for &lsquo;the dark night of the soul&rsquo;; when you feel that you have  reached the limits of your endurance and are at the end of the road. Signs that  Sweet Chestnut is a good choice are feelings of absolute and utter despair or  hopelessness, unbearable suffering, or a state of desolation in which you feel  isolated from the rest of humanity.<\/p>\r\n<p> Sweet  Chestnut helps to dissolve the darkness, and restores connection to your Soul&rsquo;s  light and love. <\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ftC\">\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\/Bach-Flower-Remedies\/Sweet-Chestnut---Bach-Flower-Remedies__p-71-209.aspx\">Sweet  Chestnut | Bach Flower Remedy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3>5. Wild Rose &ndash; For apathy  and lack of enthusiasm<\/h3>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/images\/flowers\/Bach\/Wild-Rose-Flower.jpg\" alt=\"Wild Rose flower\" width=\"285\" height=\"236\" class=\"imageRight\" title=\"Wild Rose flower\" \/>\r\n<p> Wild  Rose is a very useful essence if you are feeling flat, low and disconnected &ndash;  unable to find any joy or motivation for life. You may feel like there&rsquo;s no  real reason to get out of bed in the morning or it may be a more subtle state  where you are going through the motions doing what you need to do but can&rsquo;t  muster up any real sense of enthusiasm or meaning.<\/p>\r\n<p> Choose  Wild Rose if you are experiencing a state of apathetic resignation, which is  often accompanied by feelings of boredom or tiredness. Signs that Wild Rose is  a good choice include completely lacking the motivation and enthusiasm to  participate in life, putting things off through lack of energy, feeling dull,  wilted, lifeless, and resigned to your fate.<\/p>\r\n<p> Wild  Rose helps to revive your spirits and restore enthusiasm and joy so you can  embrace life fully.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ftC\">\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\/Bach-Flower-Remedies\/Wild-Rose---Bach-Flower-Remedies__p-71-216.aspx\">Wild  Rose | Bach Flower Remedy<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\r\n<h4>Using the Bach Flower Remedies: Should You Use a Single Or Combination Essence<\/h4>\r\n<p>Either is fine &#8211; wou  can take any of the Bach Flower Remedies that resonate with you as individual  essences or we can make you a personalised combination here: <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\/Bach-Flower-Remedies\/Bach-Remedy---Mix-Your-Own-Combination__c-p-0-0-71-120.aspx\">Make Your Own Bach Flower Remedy Combination<\/a><\/p>\r\n<h2>Deeper Acting Essences Clear Unconscious Patterns<\/h2>\r\n<p> Our deeper acting essences will help you to clear any underlying  emotional blocks and crystallised beliefs that result in low feelings, despair,  despondency or hopelessness. They are particularly effective at bringing what  is hidden in your unconscious mind to the surface so it can be integrated,  transformed or released.<\/p>\r\n<h3>6. Inner Joy Essence to transform despair and disconnection<\/h3>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/images\/essences\/Inner-Joy-Essences.jpg\" alt=\"Inner Joy Essences - 10ml and 25ml bottles\" width=\"155\" height=\"291\" title=\"Inner Joy Essences - Transforming Despair\" class=\"imageRight\" \/>\r\n<p> Inner Joy Essence is the combination we recommend most frequently  for people struggling with feelings of despair and despondency because it works  on psychological and spiritual levels to facilitate deep inner change and  transformation. <\/p>\r\n<p> Inner Joy Essence is a combination of 6 deep-acting flower, gem  and crystal essences which release feelings of despair and despondency that are  stored at a deep unconscious level. It will help you to connect with your own  inner light and joy by unravelling and releasing the deep-seated patterns that  cause feelings of despair and despondency. <\/p>\r\n<p> Inner Joy addresses a wide range of feelings of low mood, despair  and despondency from feeling mildly flat and disconnected to feeling like  you&rsquo;re in a big black hole of despair from which there seems to be no way out. <\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ftC\">\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\/Divine-Harmony-Essences\/Inner-Joy-Essence__p-100-855.aspx\"><strong>Inner Joy | Divine Harmony Essence<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/div>\r\n<h3>7. Yellow Rattle Essence to transform deep-rooted hopelessness<\/h3>\r\n<p> Yellow Rattle can be used on an ad hoc basis if you find yourself  occasionally swamped by deep dark feelings that arise for no apparent reason,  or on a longer-term basis if you have very deep-rooted feelings of sadness,  despair or despondency that you may have lived with all your life, or for which  there&rsquo;s no obvious root cause in this lifetime.<\/p>\r\n<p> Signs that <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.crystalherbs.com\/index.php\/essence-reviews\/despair-yellow-rattle-flower-essence\/\">Yellow Rattle<\/a> would be a good essence for you include  intense sadness and deep melancholy that you sense are from previous lifetimes,  or recurring and apparently unfounded feelings of hopelessness and despair  buried deep in the unconscious which keep surfacing in your current life.<\/p>\r\n<p> Yellow Rattle essence helps to gently open the inner doorways that  enable old memories to be released from your unconscious into your conscious  awareness so they can be transformed.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ftC\">\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\/Karmic-Flower-Essences\/Yellow-Rattle---Flower-Essence__p-73-168.aspx\">Yellow Rattle | Karmic Essence<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\r\n<h3>8. Geranium Essence to bring in the light<\/h3>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/images\/flowers\/Geranium-Karmic-Flower.jpg\" alt=\"Geranium flowers\" width=\"250\" height=\"228\" class=\"imageRight\" title=\"Geranium flowers\" \/>\r\n<p> Geranium Essence is the one we choose for people who are feeling  dark, heavy and unable to connect with their own inner light. We&rsquo;ve noticed  that feelings of despair and despondency often come to the surface when people don&rsquo;t  feel connected to the spiritual aspect of life so this is when Geranium Essence  is a particularly good essence to take. <\/p>\r\n<p> Geranium Essence helps you to find greater meaning and spiritual  connection so choose Geranium when you recognise that there&rsquo;s more to life and  you need to connect with your spiritual essence, but cannot seem to find the  doorway that will give you access to this part of yourself. It&rsquo;s also ideal if  you don&rsquo;t consciously feel the need to connect with your spiritual essence but  deep inside you know that something is missing and life feels flat and  meaningless. <\/p>\r\n<p>Signs that Geranium would be a good essence for you include feeling  like you&rsquo;re stumbling around in the dark unable to find the light switch,  gloominess, despair, spiritual crisis, a recognition that you need something  more in life.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ftC\">\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\/Karmic-Flower-Essences\/Geranium---Flower-Essence__p-73-160.aspx\">Geranium | Karmic Essence<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<h3>Angel of Hope &amp; Angel of Joy for uplifting spiritual support <\/h3>\r\n<p> Angel Essences provide instant spiritual support, divine  assistance and higher awareness.

Angel Essences are  available as sprays to mist around your energy field and living space as well  as essences to be taken on the tongue. Use them on an occasional basis when you  need extra spiritual support, or longer term to bring their positive qualities  into your life more fully. <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3>9.

Angel of Joy<\/h3>\r\n<p> Choose  Angel of Joy Essence to help you ignite the spark of joy in your own heart  centre so that you can experience more of this wonderful, uplifting frequency  in your life. Ask the Angel of Joy to awaken more of your true nature so that  your heart radiates the joyous light of your own inner being.

Take Bach Flower Remedies 6-8 x a day. <\/p>\r\n<h4>Deeper Acting Essences &amp; Sprays<\/h4>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/images\/flowers\/Daffodil-Display.jpg\" alt=\"Daffodils\" width=\"251\" height=\"251\" class=\"imageRight\" \/>\r\n<p><strong>Essences:<\/strong> Use one deeper acting essence at a time and  put 4 drops on your tongue 3-4 x a day.
