The Spiritual Practice Of Flower Power

Every now and again, I purchase a bouquet of flowers as a gift to myself. Placing a vase of flowers on your home altar or sacred space adds nature-inspired ambiance, brightness, and sensuality to one’s spiritual self-care.

I also love to diffuse the essential oils of flowers, especially when I meditate, but they don’t have the tangibility and energetic beauty of a stunning array of fresh blooms. Analogous to eating whole food versus taking a supplement, fresh flowers represent the wholeness, divine design, and awe-inspiring beauty of Gaia, Mother Nature, our Earth Mother, the Divine Feminine.

Unadulterated, the ‘flower power’ of a beautiful bouquet commands marvelous healing energies, blesses the giver, and inspires bountiful gratitude in the recipient.

The most powerful spiritual practice involving flowers is to plant your own flower garden with perennial varieties, such as tulips, black-eyed susans, and chrysanthemums. With careful planning around the seasonal calendar one can also have different species in bloom at different times throughout the entire year.

Cultivating a thriving garden of flowers is a magnificent form of energy work. It attracts and manifests emotional healing, abundance, and the fulfillment of wishes, especially in aspects of romance, marriage, fertility, and parenthood. By lovingly nurturing and caring for the delicate beauty of living flowers, we invite much love, beauty and abundance into our lives.

The spiritual practice of growing flowers not only enriches our environment and living space, but also opens up our own auric field to love and connection. It inspires an energetic signature around ourselves and our home that is inviting to friends, loved ones, and potential life partners. If we consistently invoke the energy of being worthy and deserving of being surrounded by beautiful flowers, we will soon also begin to receive the gift of flowers from others.

If you cannot grow flowers where you live, then at least buy yourself some flowers. It is a bold act of self-love! If you are single, you don’t have wait for someone special to buy you flowers. You are someone special yourself, so stop by your local grocer or flower shop today and buy yourself some flowers.

Sending flowers to others, who may feel unappreciated or lonely, is another powerful spiritual practice to spread love and kindness. Think about those who may feel isolated or forgotten, or someone who is grieving or suffering chronic illness. You do not even need to know the person. Deliver some flowers to a local retirement home, women’s shelter, hospital, or hospice. It will not only bless the receivers, but also transform your life!

In conclusion, flowers can provide a tremendous boost to our body, mind, and spirit. They take us out of loneliness and invite a powerful connection with nature.  Make the decision to love yourself today with creation’s finest gift.  Your life will bloom with contentment, joy, desire, passion, and happiness.
