What May flowers bring to Spring…

It has been said by many wise people for many long years that flowers are the essence of pure beauty. It was reiterated in the very beginning of the book “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle. I get asked by so many clients the usefulness of flowers in healing. I always say the same thing and it sounds a little like this… Here you have a beautiful organism that seeks the light of the sun to blossom and the solace of the moon to tenderly close and embrace the energy taken in from the light. Every creature on Earth patiently awaits the break of morning and the slow but generous bloom of the flowers. They are graceful, they are tender, they are sweet, edible, and attractive. There isn’t a creature out there that has a natural repulsion to flowers. In their essence – they are the definition of true beauty. There is no effort expended in admiring flowers, it is a thoughtless admiration and an innate reaction in all of us. It brightens our days, brings love to our hearts, and energizes us with the simplest form of beauty available. It opposes superficiality. They don’t compete for beauty, they simply linger and exemplify the beauty of others around them. Each flower resonates an energy useful to animals, plants, insects, and humans. With this wisdom and energy – all creatures can heal from flowers. Visually, they create pleasure and calm. Spiritually, they are energetically uplifting and grounding at the same time. And they are edible! I was once asked “What do you make of Bach Flower Remedy?” and I simply replied “If you believe in the beauty and essence of flowers, gift yourself the pleasure of all they have to offer”. We use trees to build shelter, and leaves to weave baskets, and grasses as a cushion. Flowers have such an array of energy to share! The process of cutting flowers, arranging them to your liking, and enjoying them for as long as they last is such a treat that the floral industry is an industry never to suffer. When spiritual leaders pray over an article to see if it thrives stronger than the articles not prayed over, they choose flowers as the article to respond to their prayers – and they DO! In my opinion, May flowers bring everything to Spring. Imagine one Spring without them… allow your heart to blossom with Spring and try one – just one – flower remedy that calls to you!
