Are you at your wits end? Knowing something needs to change but feeling you don't have the resources? We all have blindspots no matter how enlightened we are; parts of our personality or beliefs which drive us in unhelpful directions but are simply too hard to face.

Sometimes self-reflection comes easily but there are also times when we have to look within at 'what is' in order to make a vital change, yet we desperately don't want to. We may fear that the emotional pain will be unendurable but we no longer have the energy to struggle against what our soul needs us to see.

This Sweet Chestnut state is often not obvious, as we're reluctant to acknowledge it even to ourselves, and certainly not to others. It can't usually be seen from the outside as it's the state necessary for a major inner shift. You're asked to surrender so that you can accept and let go. It's typically followed by a major outer change such as giving up a job or relationship that's no longer in alignment with your soul growth.

Despair and despondency is the largest group of Bach remedies, so it's important to be clear about the differences. Sweet Chestnut is the remedy of choice if you feel trapped or at the end of your tether, with an empty sense of inevitability.

As you take Sweet Chestnut it helps you see that you're struggling in the birth canal, resisting the final most intense contraction that will allow you to emerge into a new life. It transforms the darkest despair into trust that help is on its way, the universe is listening and miracles really can happen. Order Sweet Chestnut

Worried, tense? Hard to sleep? Rose is the essential oil to turn to if your liver energy is stuck. Tell-tale signs are frequent headaches, difficulty getting quality sleep, and feeling irritable. It may also be hard to look to the future, to vision or plan, as this requires healthy liver energy. 

Rose calms and supports the heart, nourishing your feminine receptive yin energy, reminding you that all is in divine order.

Radiant Rose Skincare - 15% Off Rose is particularly hydrating so it's wonderful for dry or sensitive skins. I use Neal's Yard Rose toner daily - by far the best I've tried. You can currently get 15% off the three core elements in the Neal's Yard Rose collection ordered together.

If you love rose you can also get the beautiful Crystal Herbs essence sprays with the rose water option. They make lovely night-time aromas to send you to sleep while the essences do their work.

• Is the next stage of human development conscious evolution? 
• Do we have the ability to influence the evolution of the cosmos?
