Patterns of Imbalance:

The soul becomes strong and vibrant only by becoming resilient. Obstacles and problems test the soul's ability to respond, and to trust in the unfoldment of life. Those in need of Gentian become too easily discouraged and disheartened when problems and setbacks occur. Such souls view an impediment as the problem, when in reality it is the solution. The individual has attracted such situations because they are exactly those lessons which are needed for growth and strength. Gentian gives encouragement, especially helping the soul to shift its mental perspective and see the long view. The doubting and sceptical qualities harboured by the soul are gradually transformed into deeper faith. Gentian flower essence helps the soul to acquire great inner fortitude and unwavering trust in the outcome of life's events.
Those in need of Gentain often falter when it comes to spiritual belief and faith. They can not raise their consciousness to the certainties spiritual life offers. The unconscious mind is blocking the guidance of the Higher Self, thus bringing doubt very much to the front of consciousness. Gentain can be the eternal pessimist who takes satisfaction in seeing how badly things are going. In all walks of life, including illness, any positive progress is offset by making a mountain out of a molehill of a small set back. This remedy is also used for depressive feelings brought on by a known cause, such as the loss of a job, the death of someone close or a cruel twist of fate.
