May Flowers

May Flowers

We have all heard the saying, "April Showers Bring May Flowers." I don't know what to say about the morning of April 16th when we got some snow, but let's just go with the shower part! 

I was never much of a flower person until I got my own house. My husband, the landscaper, likes to plant lots of green. While I like green, I have discovered that I also like color and beautiful scents. This got me thinking about aromatherapy and energy and symbolism of different flowers - especially this month with the blooming of life around us. So whether you burn incense or candles, make potpourri or cut fresh flowers, any particular flower and its scent holds an energy and intention. I wonder if your favorite flower is trying to help you bring in the energy that you need? Check out this small list:

Cornflower = Love & abundance, fertility. The world is a generous place!

Daisy = Everyday life. Use to enjoy the simplistic things about life when stress has covered over your capacity to.

Lavender = Cleanses unresolved feelings of distrust. Often used to help promote relaxation.

Jasmine = Pleasure, joy and sensual love.

Rose = Love. Red = passionate affairs. Yellow = tender ones. Pink = romance. White = a pure love.

Sunflower = Invokes very strong energy. Used when dealing with a particularly taxing situation.

Sweet Violet = Softness, vulnerability.

Tulip = Mends breaks of the heart.

Water Lily = Soothes and takes pain away so that you can smile again.

White Lily = Purify a love with too much anger, jealousy o misunderstandings.

As you take a nature walk, notice what flowers you come in contact with. Notice what flowers you have naturally selected to plant at your home. And observe what flowers you are given as gifts. Everything is energy. What energy are you putting out with the scents that you wear or the flowers you surround yourself with? Spring is for planting, so if you don't like it, this is a perfect time to change it up! Use your flowers on your meditation alter? Meditate to their scent or just enjoy their beauty.
Namaste.
