First you’ll notice my bright pink rounded petals. Between them are the dark red ones, slim, shaped like tongues of fire. I suggest fire, yet I bring you coolness. I can be found in forested areas, in meadows, beside trails and streams. I like wet places. My essence radiates peace and a feeling that all is well. I am the flower that rises from the blackened soil of a forest fire. When I show my face, you know that renewal has begun.
You humans use the expression of “burning a candle at both ends.” It becomes too hot to handle and too dangerous to put down. You are going in too many directions at once and not giving yourself a chance to stop… and reflect. Or stop and rest. Finally, you are burned out. There is nothing left.
I am the life that springs up after destruction. When your spirit feels overwhelmed and exhausted, that is a moment of truth. In that moment, I can help you to stop and allow yourself to regenerate. You can relax and rebalance. I bring you relief and refresh your spirit. You can start over. It is your chance to feel solid ground under your feet. Welcome back to earth!
I am golden. I light up the forest with my bright yellow blossoms. I pour light into your heart, filling it with energy to help you fulfill your dreams. My petals hold secrets of the woodlands. They are doors that reveal secrets as I gradually open them to reveal my heart. I bring you joy and teach you how to follow your path with ease. No worries, no doubts. You are here on earth to enjoy the beauty of creation. Dream! Imagine! What is your heart’s desire? Think big and think happy. I can light the way. We are many. We grow in community. When in our company, your heart chakra expands to include more of the life around you. You don’t have to reach out and grab it. It’s already here. Relax into the beauty of creation. You are part of it.
