Flowers are symbols of awakening

cognitive behaviour therapy cbt: flowersIf you are going through a really sad time, a period of unspeakable pain, you may be hurting from the cruel taunts of others and are confused or lost, there is help. By just looking around you in nature  can take you out of your self imposed mind torture.

Eckhart Tolle describes the flower as the ” enlightenment of plants’. Seeing their beauty can awaken you to their essential inner being , their true nature. “They are like messengers from another realm” with their fragrance “from the realm of spirit”. An unexplainable happiness, amazement and joy overwhelms us when we really look at a flower.

The flower has been used as a mandala for meditation, its petals in symmetry and circular formation represents the doorways to another realm, a higher consciousness and way to peace and calm. “Any life form in any realm- mineral, vegetable animal or human – can be said to undergo ‘enlightenment’. ” Tolle means like rocks to crystal or diamonds, or reptiles to birds over an evolutionary period of billions of years.

It is this broad range perspective of a visionary  that sometimes hits us over the head like a lightening bolt !  When man first experienced breathtaking beauty, something that was not linked to survival,  it became  a significant step in human consciousness.

When one experiences deep suffering, a sudden death of a loved one, it can be a unique opportunity to ponder the meaning of life, to ask why? and who am I really? Have I been asleep all these years? Is it possible for me to blossom, to move past this tragedy and find something meaningful from this negative event?
