Pink Peony

Flowers

Endless Beauty

My Peonies were greeting me as I entered my garden this morning. Nodding hello, happy, bending downward, almost but not quite touching the earth. Heavy from the overnight rain.

My heart melts when the Peonies bloom. I become soft and forgiving of life. I surrender all that I am to their beauty, their magnificence.

They are elegant. They are gentle. They bring Light into my garden. Their fragrance (!) brings peace into my being and gratitude into my heart. I feel wholeness. I feel openness. I feel unashamed.

Peonies bow to the Mother. They feed her with our sadness, our shame, our unworthiness, our hurt. They shift us, they soften us, they want us to slow down, be enough, be beautiful, be graceful.

Their gifts… patience, authenticity, forgiveness, their love for life and their endless beauty.

I came to energy work in 2001 at a time in my life where I was shattered. I had lost myself. There were too many endings and there was no clear path forward that I could see. But as doors closed all around me, I was guided onto a Reiki table. Here I found safety in my body, finally …and an amazing new reality in an unseen world. I worked hard to look at all parts of me as they were offered up. And… I went into total remission and off all meds after 30 years and 7 surgeries for Crohn’s Disease.

All forms of energy work then became my passion. I studied Reiki, flower essences, crystals, essential oils and tarot. I studied with Shaman here and in Peru and climbed high in the Andes mountains. I cleared houses and businesses of unwanted energies. I did Soul Retrievals for my clients. I sat with the dying, helping them in their last moments. I co-taught Medicine Wheel and Advanced Medicine Wheel. I officiated weddings. I had dogs and cats as clients. I studied with Gabrielle Roth, learning 5-rhythm dance. But most of all, this journey brought me to a place where I fell head over heels in love with the healing power of the flowers.

And now I invite you to remember the wisdom Mother Earth offers us.
