Happy spring to those of you in the southern hemisphere and a warm welcome to all readers.
Recently I shared a wonderful holiday on the south west of Western Australia’s coast with some delightful friends. Yallingup where we stayed, near Margaret River, has a most spectacular sweeping coastal landscape with rolling surf and sometimes huge waves which are a surfer’s delight.
The bushland above the beach at this time of the year is prolific with wildflowers and flowering shrubs and trees. My friends are Bush Flower Essence Therapists with wide knowledge of the rejuvenating and healing properties of wildflowers, shrubs and trees. We encountered wattles, kangaroo paws, orchids and Balga/grass trees amongst the variety of plants.
The wattle (Acacia), for example, can help us to be worldly wise with the key words: alert, wise, mature, aware and responsible. So it was good for us to stand next to the wattle for a little while to receive this energy (see photos of wattle and a grass tree on my face book page).
Grass trees have always intrigued me. As a child we called them blackboys! The official name is Xanthorrhoea preissii. They can give us the strength of the creative warrior. So perhaps that is what I have always aimed to be – a creative warrior!
Appreciating the wonder of nature and spending time in it is magically therapeutic and uplifting. Creating a small garden in a courtyard or on a balcony is rewarding. My courtyard garden gives me great joy.
Here are a few excerpts from my book ‘Adventure into Transformation’ in the topic: The Wonder of Nature.
“All components of nature resonate at their own frequency levels. Your own frequency level also varies, depending on your level of awareness and wakefulness. When you are at a high frequency of vibration, you can begin to communicate with the animals, trees and plants, rocks, rivers oceans etc. An exchange of love and comfort for mutual benefit takes place. Give love and healing to all of nature, and ask also to be shown how you can assist them to live in their highest potential.
Remember you and nature are one, intertwined with each other during your journey through existence on Earth.”
Do you spend time outside by the ocean or stream, trees and flowers even for a short time each day or week? It is beneficial to walk barefooted and sit on the ground for a few minutes each time to reinforce your connection with our wonderful sacred home Earth. You will gain much support and love.
Check out my photos of wattle and a grass tree on my Facebook page – gazing at them may help you to be more worldly wise and a creative warrior!
With love and blessings,
