It is a well known truth that many of the conditions, behaviours, and opinions we grow up with are not truly our own. They are shaped by our parents, society, television, media, and the collective influences around us. As we move through our awakening, we begin to re evaluate every area of our lives and ourselves. With deeper awareness comes new understanding, and sometimes our thoughts naturally change. Take flowers in the home as an example. For most of my life, without much thought, I was in the cut camp. Flowers were meant to be picked and placed in a vase, simple as that. Then, as my awakening unfolded and I began to understand that everything is energy, my view shifted. I moved firmly into the not cut perspective. It felt unethical to remove a flower from its garden, cutting it off from its source. If all things carry energy, how could I justify separating it from where it grows? But then I remembered something. Many years ago, during a time when I was going through something deeply challenging and my vibration felt very low, a friend sent me flowers. Those flowers lifted me in ways I cannot fully describe. Their colours, their scent, their presence in the room, every time I walked in, I felt a gentle rise in my energy. They did not just decorate the space, they shifted it. They shifted me. And so my opinion softened. If having flowers in my home can bring peace, comfort, and healing, then perhaps the question is not so rigid. Without giving flowers a personality, although it is tempting to, why would their energy not also serve through that exchange? Why assume that their purpose is diminished by being shared in that way? Perhaps awakening is not about fixed answers. Perhaps it is about remaining open enough to let our understanding evolve. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Ros🤍
