Today’s world is one of instant gratification, everything from food delivery to information is available at the tap of a screen, patience often feels like an outdated concept.
I struggle with it daily. It’s as if the faster the world moves, the harder it becomes to sit still and accept that some things simply take time, or even to take the time to do whatever it is that needs to be done.
Patience, I’ve come to realize, isn’t just about waiting—it’s about managing our expectations and finding peace in the process, even when everything around us screams for immediacy.
What makes patience so challenging is the constant comparison to others. Social media amplifies this, showcasing reels of success, achievement, and progress — without the context of the time and effort it took to get there. It’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind when everyone else seems to be sprinting ahead. I’ve caught myself wondering why my journey feels so slow, why my goals aren’t materializing as quickly as I’d like. But the truth is, growth and success are rarely linear.
This is where our vibrational essences can offer support. Our essences, such as Impatiens (from the Bach flower essences) or our custom blends, are designed to help Calm the Mind (an essence from the South African range) and ease the restlessness that comes with waiting. By working on an energetic level, these essences can help us trust the process and embrace the natural rhythm of life.
So, how do we cultivate patience in a world that doesn’t seem to value it? For me, it starts with small, intentional practices. Taking a deep breath when I feel impatient, reminding myself that delays aren’t always setbacks, and focusing on what I can control rather than what I can’t. Incorporating essences into my daily routine has also been a game-changer. For example, Harmony essence (South African) helps me stay grounded and centered, even when life feels chaotic. It’s also about shifting my perspective: instead of viewing waiting as wasted time, I try to see it as an opportunity to reflect, recharge, or even enjoy the present moment. Patience may not come naturally, but with the right tools and mindset, it’s a skill worth developing — one that can bring a sense of calm and resilience in an otherwise hurried world.
Here are a few more essences that can help you appreciate patience a little bit more:

For the month of February 2025,
take advantage of our special offer of
10% reduction on gem essences from Pacific Essences.
There are 60 gem essences in this range, available in 25ml pipette bottles.
Historically, gems have been used for adornment and as precious treasures as bargaining chips. Few in the West know that there is a long tradition in Ayurvedic medicine (India, 5th century BC) using gems for therapeutic purposes. Since these precious minerals are difficult to access for ordinary people, it became clear that it was necessary to make these essences from the gems giving access to all their great virtues without actually owning the minerals themselves. Due to their crystalline structure, the gem essences are first used to create new structures in the body, mind and emotions.
Pacific Essences gem essences are lovingly prepared and their mother tinctures are infused with the energies of the sun and the moon. Gems enter into specific resonance with the chakras and their corresponding glands in the human body. They resonate with the human energy system due to their colours and chemical & crystalline structures. Thanks to their crystalline organization, gems are able to emit constant and repetitive vibrations. The body responds by tuning into these vibrations and regains balance.
Valid for internet orders only, during the month of February 2025. While stocks last.
