Children and Flower Essences

A friend of mine is having fabulous experiences making flower essences with her 7 year old daughter. http://www.magicgardening.blogspot.com
That prompted me to look up in the Flower Essences Practitioner’s Manual what the Plant Spirits had to say about this.

Guidance from the Plant Spirits

Greetings Beloved One,

And we are delighted to be with you and know that you are excited to be with us again. We can feel the degree of surrender you are experiencing and are here to fulfill the trust and faith you have in us.

Again we will say to you that these channeling’s are all seeds being planted and may or may not go into your manual. So, you can relax and let the information come through without censoring anything. Yes? (Yes!)

Flower Essences and children? This is one of your wonderings? Yes? (Yes!)

Children are little beings of light. They know no separation especially from Nature. They are little sponges ready to soak up whatever you wash over them. They have total faith and trust in what a loving adult being has for them. They ingest it, take it in and make it a part of their own. This is not something to be abused or taken advantage of. It is something to cherish. These innocents have total openness to what you are teaching them.

So it is a matter of respect to not ‘talk down’ to a child. The same is true for plants. Plants and children are in many ways more connected to the greater spiritual world than most adults, and yet these tender beings are in your ‘hands’ to nurture and watch grow.

That said, we feel an intense desire in children to know more of the magic or shall we say a desire to sustain the dreamlike fantasy worlds they so readily inhabit. These realms are real and the more we can substantiate these realities as seen from the adult world the more well-rounded intuitive beings we will see these children become.

It is important to nurture these intuitive instincts that children are so in sync with. Actually, adults have much to learn from the ‘matter of fact’ way that children take to talking to plants, or guardian angels or whatever spirit guides are with them. Ask a child to ask permission from a plant to pick it and they are more than happy to oblige. They will be back soon to tell you what the plant said to them without hesitation or inherent disbelief.

So you see, children have much to offer you in terms of interspecies communication. Who is teaching who here? You must be prepared for questions you cannot answer.

You must not make up something, but rather direct that query back to the Plant Spirit and see what answer the child ‘gets.’ This will be most instructive for you.

Ultimately the greatest gift here is not how or why to make a flower essence, but in teaching the ability to ask and receive guidance from within. The Flower Essence is a wonderful bridge between the dimensions; something the Plant Spirit gives as a lasting memento of the relationship that has or is being developed. This teaches a child or anyone to send and receive telepathic communication in the form of imagery or imagination or insights that come in a flash. These can take some time to accurately translate into human language but is well worth the effort.

This is a valuable tool that will assist and have ramifications of dimensionality in the shaping of these young ones into well-rounded adults. For once you have received guidance from these realms and acted upon it with astounding results, there is no place for skepticism.

You see you are shaping a whole new breed of human that can interact with Nature as living breathing beings that share space with you on this beautiful planet. This type of adult would never conceive of cutting down a grandfather tree, let alone a beautiful flower that has provided healing on many levels. So you see there are far reaching goals that could go beyond the simple making of a Flower Essence.

So, yes, by all means, teach the children how to communicate with plants and then sit back and be ready to learn from them. It will be very good for them to see that there are adults that go into these dimensions, too. It is not just ‘their imagination” as they are so often taught. Imagination is wonderful. Imagination is a sensing instrument. The sixth sense as it is often called. It is something to be honored, to be cultivated, and to be explored. You see there is much to learn from children and vise versa. But then we hope you will have learned by now that you can trust Nature as your teacher.

Peace be with you, my beloved one.

I hope this will inspire and enlighten you on many levels as it did me.
Many blessing,
Marissa

Althea Reveals Her Inner Essense in Plant Spirit Form

This is Althea’s divine inner self image, a persona created from her flowers.
The following is an excerpt from my book, “Ask Althea, The Wise Spirit of the Hollyhock” , in which Althea decides to reveal her true essence, her plant spirit form to Mera and her friend Nancy, who love to make dolls from Althea’s flowers.

Mera started to feel funny. An inexplicable energy had arisen all around them. The colors of the flowers took on a dazzling hue. They were more intense than she had ever seen before. At the same time, her vision seemed to be a little fuzzy, and her eyes wanted to close. She wasn’t sleepy but she wanted to sit down. She managed to look over at Nancy and saw she looked a little dazed, too. They both plopped down at the same time and closed their eyes.

A gentle breeze surrounded them and they felt safe, comforted. Slowly a vision began to form in their minds. An elegant woman dressed in a rosy evening gown was coming into view. She wasn’t walking, but sort of floated towards them. A halo of light surrounded her and glowed a glorious luminescent shade of raspberry. The closer she came, the clearer the vision became and the more familiar she felt. She looked like someone they knew.

Suddenly Mera recognized her and exclaimed “Oh my God! It’s a giant Althea doll!” She opened her eyes and looked over at Nancy to see if she saw it too. The shocked look on her friend’s face told the story. They stared wide-eyed in disbelief. They couldn’t move.

“Don’t be afraid.” whispered the vision in pink with her delicately slanted eyes.

“Who are you?” stammered Mera, still in shock. Her heart was beating fast and the words just seemed to come out by themselves.

“I am Althea. I am the spirit essence of the hollyhock you love to play with.”

“What’s a spirit essence?” asked Mera in an unrecognizable voice

“A spirit is love.” said Althea, “A spirit is guided by love and loves to guide you. The essence of that spirit is the part you can be aware of. Your love for me has brought me to you and in return I shall give you my love and guidance if you so wish. You only need to ask and I will be with you again.” Then Althea slowly and gently faded away.

Mera rubbed her eyes to see if she was dreaming. No, it was real! Nancy saw it too. She saw it. She felt it. The Althea doll radiated love. She seemed so real and her eyes were soft and kind. Mera wasn’t afraid. She felt like she knew her deep down inside. She could still feel the warmth of her presence.

When Nancy could think again, she said, “Did we just see a giant Althea doll?”

Mera looked at Nancy. “Yes. She said she wants to guide us.”

“This is so exciting! What if we really could talk to that plant?”

“But it wasn’t the plant that we saw. It was a bigger form of that pink flower doll.”

“The spirit of the plant she called it.” Nancy sounded confused.

But Mera had an idea. “Let’s go ask Tutu. My grandmother knows everything. Maybe she knows about these spirits. After all, she planted the Althea seeds, didn’t she?”
