Rock Water

Dysfunctional state of mind

Inflexibility towards yourself, strictness of principles, tendency to set too high objectives

Innate resource / positive virtue

Discipline / Malleability

Positive affirmation

"I am perfect even when I’m not, because the pleasure and joy of life are part of my plans!"

Rock Water is not really a flower, in fact, it is prepared exclusively with water from springs known for their properties. It matches those who are strict masters of themselves, devoted to a rigid lifestyle based on health, strength, and activity. By nature, the Rock Water type is a rule follower with self-imposed rhythms who aspires to embody an ideal model that they hope others will want to imitate to become better.

We can say that Discipline is their innate resource. However, this attitude originates from an unconscious need to maintain control by adopting a planned and predictable lifestyle. This can lead the Rock Water type to become overly rigid, denying themselves even the small pleasures of life so as not to break their “vow”.

Rock Water therefore invites us to develop the virtue of Malleability, which is the ability to adapt, like water, to changing situations and to accept compromise and the occasional transgression of the rule. In fact, what makes Rock Water functional is not just the rigid and uncorruptible appearance, but the ability to adapt and “indulge” from time to time, maintaining one’s own integrity in principle rather than in fact.
