Queen Anne’s Lace

Flowers
Written By Paula R Winters

Queen Anne’s Lace feels like a summer snowflake.

Queen Anne’s Lace (or Wild Carrot) has a dreamy, delicate, soft, vulnerable quality that goes hand and hand with the sensitivity of a full moon in Pisces. Its flower head reminds me of a life of stories, fragmented and yet beautifully woven together, their beauty realized in the gifts they have given us.

Its lacy, white, airy flower can quiet the mind for better entry into our third eye, our Divine Self. Its essence carries us upward into our Spiritual Self. It is so beautifully feminine and so very strong the way the stem holds it and feeds it and brings it to maturity. Its (very) strong stem is a signature of strength, inner strength. This flower gathers what it needs from the earth to survive in the hot summer sun and the dry, infertile soil along roadsides and in meadows.

Most of its flowers have a dark red drop in their center. Some say it signifies blood, some a spiritual eye. For me, it feels like a connection into our physical, earthy selves, a grounding point of incarnation. Feel the two distinct energies… Journey in and out of the center and ‘embody’ both realms.

Queen Anne’s Lace has a spirit, a wildness, we have only begun to explore. It is a flower for integration and understanding, for unity AND uniqueness and for unbelievable strength, purpose and perception.

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.
