The essence
Gorse is an essence for people who can be so overwhelmed by despair that they let go of their hope. Although family and friends may try to talk about new efforts, they are convinced of failure. They are people who seem to hold fast to their illness or their dire situation - perhaps because they fear it could get worse, since after all they have got to be used to their present state at last.
Gorse brings the opportunity to be healthy and be successful into consciousness. The essence makes the unimaginable imaginable. You can recognize the meaning of suffering, learn from it and begin to grow again.
