Enjoy one of our YouTube summer meditations. Here is our tribute to Sunflowers:
Sunflowers (Helianthus spp.) are in a genus that contains about 70 different species, and it is in the Asteracea family, which is the ragweed family of plants. Its botanical name, Helianthus, comes from the Greek word, helios, meaning the sun. SPIRITUALLY, Sunflowers represent spiritual knowledge and a worshiper's devotion to seeking the light of truth. It symbolizes faith and adoration for All-That-Is, the true faith and loyalty to something that is much bigger and brighter than themselves. For thousands of years, they've been held in high regard by many cultures to give protection and enlightenment. Its yellow petals represent the sun, the solar plexus and happiness. Who does not derive happiness when passing a field of sunflowers with their happy faces following the sun throughout the sky? TRADITIONAL and THERAPEUTIC uses for sunflowers range from the seeds for food, flour and oil (they contain Vitamins A and E and some from the B group, iron, sodium, phosphorus and calcium), and the petals contain anthocyanicglycosides, betaine and carotenoids (for eye health). Due to its deep roots and ability to soak up water and harmful substances, thousands and thousands of hectares were planted around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant to help remediate the radioisotopes from the soil! ENERGETICALLY, sunflowers are the ones to call on when you need to live like a superhero, and they are a powerful reminder or our Divinity. Who doesn't need both of those in 2020?
