Fragrant flowers and colors of Spring will soon intoxicate the mind and spirit. With that thought in mind, this article will give you a little insight into yourself and your energy.
Where does one begin when it is not known where to begin or what path it will lead to? Like the seed full of potential, we have waited until a more opportune time to spring forth with new ideas and fresh activity. Spring rewards those brave enough to begin to unfold their unique gifts in the world. If you have spent the winter in deep thought and reflection as to where you wish to go, now is the time to begin your journey. Is it easy for a seed to sprout? How much effort is needed to find your way to the sun’s nourishing light or how hard is the soil you must reach your roots through to absorb the supportive, nutrient rich, soil beneath?
I would imagine most never give much thought to a plant or flower aside from its exceptional burst of color or scent. If we reflect on the process, we can gain insight on ourselves and learn how to move toward our own light and desires.
So where do we begin? Close your eyes and imagine yourself as a flowering plant or herb. This need not be one that exists, it can be a creation that you have made from various types of flowers and plants. Once you have an image of it in your minds eye, complete the quiz below.
