Wild Sweet Violet

Flowers
Written By Paula R Winters

Wild Sweet Violets appear when our long grey winter is ending, reminding us once again of the sacred cycle of life. New growth, a new season, fresh new, sweet life emerging. This beautiful, delicate, flirtatious flower gently opens our hearts to the promise of spring.

There is such a resilient and courageous nature to the Violet. Its resilience can be seen as it pokes through and survives the last snow of the season, blossoming up from its protective, dark green, heart-shaped leaves. Violet protects the heart. It gives us shelter. Those critical inner voices have no more space. The heart takes over and there is no room for negative, self-effaced musing.

Violet offers us time for self-reflection, stillness of thought, of presence… allowing any grief, sadness or heartache to rise as the flower’s energy soothes the lost Self. It tells us it is okay to open up, let go of the parts we have tucked away for safe keeping. To be oneself.

Violets are delicate flowers for the sensitive soul …the sensitive, bashful, timid, introverted soul who needs more understanding and ease. There is a sweet soothing the Violet give us. A motherly softness and safety that frees us to live this life in the way we were promised.

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.
