On your path through life, you are not alone. Besides learning to trust and work with your own intuition, and with mentors and friends in the physical world, you also have access to a great number of spirit guides.There are many kinds of spiritual guides, and flowers are among them. You may not have thought of flowers as potential guides on you life’s path, but just wait and see. Today I am going to share a healing teaching from the flower Marigold. In the sacred spirit journey I am about to share with you, Marigold showed up to share her great wisdom. May her healing words, bring inspiration, light and joy into your life today.
As I begin the sacred spirit journey to connect with Marigold, I find myself in a ‘bubble’ of light. My spirit guides have their own light bubbles, and I find it fascinating how, as they approach me, our lights merge. An orange Marigold flower also shows up, joining us in the light.
Marigold says:
“I represent power and healing as well as joy and beauty. You find me on a beautiful summer day, with the sun shining and bees buzzing. Relax and enjoy the present.Enjoy and be present in your life. Stand in your own power – confidently and joyfully as you shine your light and take each day as it comes.I don’t hide. My bright colors say: “Be joyful. I’m here. I love life, and I invite life into mine – I share my gifts with others.”Marigold sends an orange energy ‘cloud’ to me – it surrounds me and embraces me. I breathe it in, and the energy flows in and out of me, like air.
Marigold says:
“When you say yes to your own power, the Marigold energy you have been given, will be activated in you. Say yes – return to the yes every time you doubt or waver, and hold my image or color.”
I ask her about healing, and she says:
“I am healing you as we speak. As of now there’s no separation between our energy fields – they blend and my healing and strengthening powers are at work in your life now.
Let go of worry and let the healing take place. Trust that it will be so. This is a time for you to return to joy. Anger is a driving force, but damaging. It’s now time to let it go and instead use joy as the force that drives you forward. You weren’t taught to be joyful, and often you didn’t have much reason to. But forgive what was and enter the present and your power.
I stand beside you, reminding you of embracing joy – and showing you how to shine brightly – walking confidently, powerfully, joyfully in the world. I am your path or door to success, for those are qualities you need to make a big living – to become abundant.
No more doubt, meekness or hiding your light. Shine your light brightly, like the flowers in a garden on a summer day. Let beauty and joy shine in your life today and every day forward.
As you open to me, you open to healing.”
As you open to me, you open to healing.”
Marianne: “Thanks a lot. Anything else?”
Marigold: “That’s it for now.”
I thank Marigold and my spirit guides and end the journey.
Reflections on the marigold journey
After a healing journey like this – whether you do it yourself or someone does it for you, one of the first things you may think of doing afterwards is to look up Marigold and learn more about the flower and its physical, medicinal and spirit medicine qualities.While much interesting and helpful information can come of that, what I always do is to return to the connection I had with the spirit guide and with its specific teachings to me. In this case it would mean re-reading the journey several times. In this way you may find that new insights and layers of meaning and healing are revealed with each reading.
The power of following your intuition
Living your life from the heart and learning to follow your intuition in your daily life can bring many benefits and give you the experience that you are truly co-creating your life with the universe. After a healing journey like this, if you follow your intuition, you may find yourself guided to something or someone who can further your healing. It has happened to me often, and in this case I followed my intuition but I didn’t realize until afterwards the interesting synchronicities involved. I was guided to an herb, often used as a spice, that has been helpful. And it’s bright orange, just like the Marigold.One action step you can take right now is to begin to consciously follow your intuition, that inner guidance that often points you in the right direction. A guidance that you may sometimes not be aware of or even disregard. It can have a great and positive influence in all aspects of your life.
Have you experienced a time when you followed your intuition or inner guidance and it influenced your life in a positive way? Please share your experiences or insights in the comments section below.
Love this beautiful article Marianne. I don’t know much about the power of flowers as spirit guides so this was heart-opening for me. Thank you for your wisdom…blessings
I started a blog two years ago on the advice of my meditation teacher who told me to follow my intuition. I’m glad that I did because it has been a beautiful and empowering experience.
Thanks for sharing, Barb. It’s so true. Following your intuition is empowering. It’s also awareness training, I have found, because if we’re not paying attention, it’s sometimes easy to miss the little signs that guide us on our path.
Great article! Thanks for inspiring!
I’m glad you like it, Kimberly. Have a wonderful day đŸ™‚
