| Welcome to Soul gardening The sacred art of relating harmoniously. |

Lavender Plant essence guidance for the soul: To connect within. To connect to your higher self. To be in your truth. To know only your truth. To trust. It wants to assist people on Earth to stay in a place of Love while doing what they need to do: to be able to be a part of the flow with Earth and humanity. It is going to be difficult for many as they have closed off this innermost part of themselves, and have been expressing only a part of themselves to the world at large. Now is the time for seeing through the facade and being open to new ways of doing things. You are able to change how you do things in everyday life to reflect how you are feeling from within. When you are connected and flowing from the Love, everything will grow and expand through the Love. When you have given yourself to the Love, you will experience the Love in everything you do. Love yourself and love will guide you in your decisions. Love your decisions, as these are doorways in your journey at this time on Earth. As you grow through the Love the journeys that have been made out of fear, expectation, or neediness will become obvious and you will see clearly with your heart the direction that flows with the Love. Love the understanding that is gained from these journeys that have been taken from fear, expectation, and neediness, as they will assist you to walk the middle path. The path of Love brings Peace to those around you, guiding them to understand their journeys, and showing them that there is another path that they can walk on: one that is in the middle, one that has experienced the difficulties on both sides, and one that knows from experience that flight and fight are ways of the past. Love your journey, and trust in finding a way to walk your path of Truth at this time on Earth by being an example of walking a path of Peace. Be at one with All through the Love you feel within and guide others to find their true Path from within themselves. |
| Interesting tidbits:
Lavender is native to the Mediterranean region and has been cultivated since the mid-16th century. It is a compact, fragrant evergreen shrub. The name is from the Latin lavare, to wash, referring to the plant’s use in toilet preparations. In Tudor and Elizabethan times, it became fashionable to have a lawn of lavender instead of grass. The scent is said to make lions and tigers docile. Victorian women prone to fainting used lavender-scented handkerchiefs to revive themselves, and placed lavender “swooning pillows” on their settees (in hope they would land upon it). Lavender is one of the most popular ingredients in cosmetics, scented sachets, and potpourri. It is a good insect repellent that deters wool moths and mosquitoes as well as parasites on animals. Rubbing lavender on the temples is said to help relieve headaches. Undiluted lavender oil dabbed on insect bites stops them from itching. It is said to be affective for a wide range of bacterial and fungal infections. Early Romans scented their bath water with lavender. In the Victorian language of flowers, lavender means distrust. |
