“Look at us, said the violets blooming at her feet, all last winter we slept in the seeming death but at the right time God awakened us, and here we are to comfort you.” - Edward Payson Rod
Ms. Daisy. Mademoiselle Tiger Lily. Mister Iris. Missy White Tulips…
You are a flower, don’t ya know?
We ask a whole lotta poignant questions in a Style Statement session. You might be amazed at the questions that give us the most insight into someone’s truest nature. Like this one:
What’s your favorite flower?
C or D: So, Elizabeth, what’s your favorite flower?
Elizabeth: White tulips.
C or D: Why white tulips, like, how would you describe the personality of a white tulip?
Elizabeth: They’re courageous because they come out first in spring. They wait patiently. Crisp. Quality. Proud. Sweet. They fit in wherever they go. Classic.
Well, is it any surprise that “Elizabeth” could be described as…courageous, patient, proud…classic? After nine hundred plus Style Statement sessions, it’s no surprise to us.
As pop-psychology and totally cheesy as it may sound, we can tell you with conviction: people are their favorite flower. We’ve even started to see trends in the flower personalities of “Classics” and “Elegants” and “Refineds.” Of course, it’s not the type of flower that matters as much as how you perceive and relate to that flower.
(And by the way, NOT having a choice flower doesn’t mean you’re vacant. It just means that you don’t have a choice flower - which, in the case of a Style Statement reading, we’d ask you a dozen other seemingly trivial but profoundly illuminating questions.)
So what is your favorite flower? And why? Where does she grow best? How does she liked to be handled?
What is your least liked kind of flower? Why?
If you close your eyes and ask a flower to appear to you, what shows up? What is she telling you?
A TINY FLOWER MEDITATION:
Take a few deep, trusting breaths. Hold the image and sensation of your Flower Self in your heart center – either your favorite flower, or whatever image comes to mind when you call forth a flower. Look at your Flower Self from every angle. Root to stem. Leaf to stamen. Repeat the word, “essence” to your self a few times.
How does it feel to stand? What helps you grow? What does blossoming feel like? How do you smell? From where does your fragrance come and what does it feel like to emit it? If, still as a flower, you could make a sound, what would it be? What does it feel like to be you, the flower?
What message does your Flower Self have to give you?
May your blooming be blessed.
