Signs from Spirit: Flowers

We are advised to look out for signs from spirit when trying to maintain a connection with a loved one who has passed. One of the ways in which we can make that connection is through flowers.

Nearly everyone has a favorite flower. You have one, for sure, and your deceased loved one may also have had one. Or perhaps certain flowers have special meanings for you because they remind you of special occasions or places. Maybe the symbolism is in the scent of the flower and the sign from spirit is in the form of a floral perfume.

If there is no connection with a particular flower, then it is possible to receive a message from a loved one which is based on the spiritual language of flowers. Flowers have always held certain connotations – love without a red rose at Valentine’s would be unthinkable, while white roses signify innocence and purity.

Asking for a Sign from Spirit

Many Psychic Experts state that there is no specific need to ask the spirit to bring you flowers; all you have to do is keep an open mind and observe what flowers come into your awareness. Notice when flowers appear in unexpected ways – a magazine illustration, a surprise bouquet or posy, decorative ceramics and furnishings, other people’s tattoos, your sister’s potpourri, even at the gas station. Florals are everywhere and, once you begin noticing, you won’t be able to ignore them – that’s when your loved ones can let you know they are doing fine and that their love for you is as strong as ever. Of course, you can also request that your spirit or your angels show you flowers to enhance the link to someone you love.

The Spiritual Language of Flowers

Flowers are amazing representatives of so many things. Leaving aside their necessity to the survival of the human race, they are beautiful beyond comparison. They uplift and comfort us. They are tokens of our feelings; eye-candy for the soul. Here are the spiritual messages of a few common flowers. More can be found at the Flower Dictionary.

The spiritual power of this ubiquitous little plant is protection. So when you see one, remember that you are safe and protected by your loved one and your angels.

Cactus

Cacti are comprised of many varieties, which all have different meanings. In general, the cactus represents attraction, protection and endurance.

Feng Shui practice encourages the use of fresh Chrysanthemums to raise the happiness level of your home. You can’t help but feel uplifted when your eyes rest on their effusive blooms.

Daffodil

The humble ‘daff’, the national flower of Wales, is a bloom of mixed blessings. It is cheerful and bold, but is also poisonous so must be placed safely out of the reach of children and pets. Spiritually, it represents good fortune and friendship. It is also a sign that spring is well and truly in progress, therefore this yellow flower is extremely heart-warming.

Daisy

As daisies come in many varieties and color, the meaning of the flower will also vary. The small white common daisy that appears on lawns and in hedgerows is said to represent the souls of children who passed away. The Celts thought that spirit sprinkled these little flowers to comfort parents in their grief. The little daisy also means childhood and innocence.
