FRAGRANT FLOWERS AND LEAVES TRIGGER PSYCHIC AWAKENING in the HUMAN AURA
Spring, is a time when the fragrance of nature, fills the air with the scent of flowers and foliage. In the human aura the mood is fired up, the senses awakened and heightened. My aura observations over many years, has witnessed that more people experience, spiritual awakening in the spring and summer months, than at any other time of the year. In the 1980’s I set a task to study this phenomena by observing groups of all ages. Creative, intuitive and spiritual awakening was triggered by a natural familiar scent combined with exposure to a past memory, an event, dream or book. The fragrant scent stimulates the senses. If the event is familiar and linked to a memor, it will transport the person to a safe and happy place. I have seen the fragrance of nature, awaken people in all age groups.
Alex, a seventy eight year old man told me that his mother in spirit, had appeared to him in a dream. He was perplexed. When I asked if he had been exposed to fragrant flowers, he said no. He recalled a recent senior’s bus trip to a lavender farm. I asked him to recall past memories of lavender, he recalled lavender sachets that his mother sewed for school fetes, and the dried lavender leaves that she had placed in the hem of the curtains in his bedroom, because his brother was a bed-wetter. Alex, spiritually awakened. He introduced meditation and Chair Yoga to his retirement village.
Carla, aged fifty five, moved house, and within months was spiritually awakened by the scent of a flowering frangipani outside her bedroom window. She recalled that her grandma would place a bowl of water on the dining room table in which she floated the flowers to scent the room. Carla’s spiritual awakening led to the establishment of a community prayer and christian meditation group.
After his wife died, Thomas, aged sixty eight, moved into an apartment. For his birthday his granddaughter gave him a large potted mint plant. Within three months Thomas was spiritual awakened by the mint leaves. The triggered memory of both his mother and grandmother having mint in the garden. They would make mint sauce, add a mint leaf to their early morning cup of tea, and make minted peas. This gave him a comforting feeling. Thomas became highly intuitive.
Donna, aged twenty six, was creatively awakened by the scent of gardenia. When her and her husband bought a house, the plant was given to them by a friend. Donna planted it in a large pot and placed it on the patio. a place where she like to sit and read. Five months later whilst writing a grocery list, she felt her hand automatically move to form artistic shapes. Never in her life did Donna think that she was an artist. From her natural awakening, Donna became an award winning portrait artist.
Doug a long distance truck driver was fifty three years old. He complained to his wife that at times he was becoming tired. She tied together rosemary, mint, and sage and hung the bunch on the mirror in the truck. Four months later Doug began to have prophetic dreams about friends and family. He didn’t understand what was happening to him. When I asked if he could remember those scents, he said yes. Whenever he was driving, the scents constantly reminded him of his Greek grandmother’s cooking. Doug was led to become a spiritual healer.
Wendy was seventeen years old when her parents were killed in a car accident. Having no family nearby, she lived with her deceased grandmother’s sister. This allowed her to stay in the region to complete her studies at school. Wendy became a bereavement social worker. She got a posting to a large city that was surrounded by a natural undulating green landscape. Her office was in an old house with a small paved courtyard. An old Robinia tree stood in the corner of the yard. Wendy often sat under the tree to eat her lunch and to read. In mid Spring the tree, blossomed. The scent wafted into her office. She recognised the scent from her past. Her grandmother’s sister with whom she had lived, would gather the flowers and place them in a vase. She had provided Wendy and her older sister with a feeling of security and each morning, to start the day, offered a loving and caring embrace. Wendy’s natural creative awakening unfolded over six month. Wendy set up bereavement educational workshops, self-help groups and wrote several books.
Fragrance is something that most people take for granted. However, the human aura does not. It searches for triggers to uplift and to advance the soul’s journey of being human. It can awaken new learning, new skills, self-reflection, inner peace, creativity and intuition. The soul’s service to humanity, whether it be small or large, will be fulfilled. Moving on to bigger and brighter things to come. The human aura is attuned to mother nature for the purpose of self-alignment with all things. It’s no wonder that natural scent can lead us on a path of self-acceptance and self-empowerment.
Fragrant Oils do stimulate the senses but lack the natural vibration of plants to guide us to fulfill our soul’s vocation. My husband, a qualified Aromatherapist, specialised in mother’s painful discomfort in child birth. He concocted a special mix that pregnant mothers craved. He also mixed special blends for meditation, the common cold, muscle strains, arthritic pain, migraine, menstruation pain, broken limb pain etc. He had a natural knack of mixing oils to target a specific issue.
In my garden I have an array of perfumed shrubs and trees. Early, on a warm sunny morning, I like to sit on my verandah, close my eyes and let nature fill up my senses with her soul inspired spell.
