The FLOWER is a gift of mother nature and the attraction for flowers shows a long relationship in human history. Stone drawings of flowers were found in ancient Egyptian graves 120,000 years ago. Flowers nwere celebrated in festivals in Roman times, and in China, they were created in silk 2000 years ago. Even though some flowers have medical benefits, flowers are not needed on a suvival level, the main motivation for growing flowers seems to be mostly for aesthetic reasons.
Flowers are a methapor for life and it is said that their are “a perfect replica of human life” representing the different stages we pass through: from the planting of the seed, to the growing phase to blooming and withering.
The symbolism of the flower is deeply rooted in historical, cultural and religious contexts. Flowers carry messages about the nature of life and death representing spiritual themes such as enlightenment, transcendence and the connection to a higher realm. This makes them an important symbol in religious and spiritual traditions. Depending on the type of flower, its form and color and the time of blossom, flowers have various meanings in different cultures, philosophies and religions of the world.
In general we could say that even though every flower has its own special meaning and energy, they all have one thing in common: All flowers have a high vibration and therefore the ability to lift up the energy in its surrounding. They carry the energy of growth and bloom. They are often seen as the symbol for the harbinger of spring which leads to new beginnings. The moment of blossom represents the energy of life at its best.
Flowers speak their own language and we can use them to express our feelings. You might have heard this familiar saying: “Say it with flowers.” But did you know that dozens of “Language of Flowers” dictionaries were written in the victorian era in order to help people become well-versed in this poetic method of communication?
People give each other flowers as a symbol of gratitude, love, appreciation or simply to make someone feel special and loved. B. L. Frederickson’s model of positive emotions laid the foundatation for the hypothesis of cultivating positive emotions to optimize health and well-being. In a study, positive emotions were maintained for three days after receiving flowers. People were smiling more and creating more social contact when given flowers. This showed that flowers are connected to a positive emotional environment which optimizes psychological and as well physical health.
This mandala depicts a flower that attracts many butterflies. It is a special flower. It contains several small flowers arragend in a symmetrical and harmonic way like the “FLOWER of LIFE“. The so called life’s flower is not really a flower in the literal sense but a powerful ancient symbol found all over the world. It refers to Sacred Geometry and is seen as a symbol for the cycle of creation. It represents the basic forms of time and space and suggests that everything in this world is inter-connected. And when we start realizing that yeah, everything IS connected, we can start seeing the synchronicities and being in synchronicity. This great revelation leads to the profound experience of a sense of unity.
The BUTTERFLY is another wonder of mother nature. It is a lovely example of the magic of nature at work. Who doesn’t love tho watch the dainty flight of this gentle creature? Who doesn’t feel a wave of awe washing over. It feels like a magical breeze passes by, a blessing from heaven, we are under a fairy-tale-spell when we see a butterfly. We are being children again, happy and carefree, even it lasts just for a short moment. The butterfly brings a moment of lightness in chich we can feel the heart opening and the mind becoming colorful.
The butterfly has several different meanings when used as a symbol. The most important and powerful i would say is the abitliy of change and transformation. Every butterfly has to pass through different stages of transformation in order to become what it is meant to be. The change is enorm and quite unexpected. Who could imagine that out of this rather unauffaellige creature something so incredibly awesome emerges on day. The transformation of the caterpillar is magical and part of the butterfly’s evolution. It is a once-in-a-life-time experience and a truly exciting moment when the butterfly emerges from the cocoon. We humans on the other hand get the chance to pass through different stages of change, transition and transformation. We can experience death symbolically in order to be re-born more than one time in a life.
When the Butterfly Spirit comes into your life aim to become light. Let go of anything and everything that might hold you back from being free. Get ready to fly! The butterfly is a reminder that we pass through different stages in life. Once in a while we reach this unausweichliche moment when it is time for transformation. You can feel the wind of change and maybe you can’t wait to fly or maybe you get cold feet. Either way you have to take a time-out. reconsider and reset.
The time of the cocoon is the crucial moment. This is the time to reconsider and reset. This is the time before the physical and or mental transformation, the time to let go of the past, the time to prepare and get ready for the magical flight, the new beginning, the fresh start.
