Resilience and abundance

The echinacea is the flower of choice for this week's newsletter. This purple coneflower brings the message of resilience and perseverance.

Coneflowers are hardy and come back every year with minimal care. (Sometimes insects will nibble on their petals which you will see in the photograph.) 

Usually, one plant will produce about three blossoms on its stem. The thing that is so amazing about the plant I photographed is that she had produced nine separate flowers all opening up at the same time on one stem.

The story behind this flower is that she sprouted in a different part of the garden, in a section where there are some azalea bushes.

I'm not sure how it happened, but this plant was knocked down to the ground, practically laying on her side. Perhaps it was caused by one of the dogs chasing a chipmunk.

I really didn't notice this plant right away and I honestly don't know how long it was lying like this before I went over to see if I could help her. 

I gently lifted her up and saw that she wasn't broken and got a stake to help hold her up.  As I examined her more closely, I noticed that she had branched out and made so many flowers. They were all growing straight up reaching towards the sun. 

I'm sure you have heard many quotes about overcoming obstacles and you may actually have a favorite one.  Let's see what the Nature Angels would like to say about this particular plant:

Hello most beautiful human beings,

As you probably know, many plants will find a way to continue to grow through different circumstances. You have probably seen it for yourself. 

When you do see something like that, stop and ask for the message. Pay attention to what type of plant it is and if it is growing or leaning in a certain way or something else significant about it.

For example, the number of the flower blossoms is meaningful. The number nine is often seen as the completion of a cycle. The number 10 is going back to zero to start again at 1. It does not mean a final ending but more like the fulfillment of one cycle so that you can prepare to begin the next one.

Even if you know that you are part of the whole, quite often, there is an individual message for you for where you are at that moment in time.  We do not mean a physical location, we mean on the mental, emotional or spiritual level.

For example, Karen didn't really notice when this plant was knocked down and that was because she had to see the message of how it rebounded so abundantly. 

You may all be noticing the energies for this month. There may be days that you just feel very much out of control of your emotions. 

This flower brings a broader message to everyone that you are all very resilient and can bounce back more abundantly than ever. 

We ask that you look at this flower photo and say: 

There are times where I can easily overcome challenges and other times where I feel like I need help. At the times where I need support, I ask my Angels and Guides to help me.  Just as this stake is helping this flower to stand tall, I know that I have all the support that I need to help me through times when I feel as though I have been knocked down. I view any obstacles as opportunities for growth.

Wow! That was quite the message from the Nature Angels.  I know that flowers bring us messages, but I really didn't realize that I hadn't noticed this plant until it was able to bring me the message I needed to see about rebounding and growth.

I'm sure The Nature Angels have talked to us about our resilience before but is always good to be reminded. I will share a few more quotes about making the most out of situations you can't control. 

Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

If you are feeling any unexplained emotions of overwhelm or dissatisfaction, realize that it will pass.  Each one of us individually goes through cycles as well as the planet.  Yesterday was the full moon, the first supermoon for this year. 

Let go of what no longer serves you. Trust that there is always something better coming along. Transformation can sometimes feel like growing pains. Remember the butterfly and how it has to go through its metamorphosis in order to fly.

I do offer the opportunity to channel the message for you from the Nature Angels regarding something that has caught your attention in nature, and you want to know what it is telling you. You can learn about this by visiting my service page here on my website.
