Why I Buy Myself Flowers (And You May Want to Also)

Miley Cyrus recently won a Grammy for her hit song Flowers, where she poignantly shared that buying herself flowers was a form of self-love, empowerment, and healing from a relationship that didn’t work out.  These are all great reasons to tap into the wellspring of joy and vibrancy that Mother Nature offers us.  But, it’s not why I buy myself flowers.
 
My husband is happy to buy me flowers and does so on special occasions. Sometimes he will pick a flower from the garden and place it in a bud vase by the kitchen sink for us to enjoy.  He knows, however, that I enjoy picking out my flowers, so he supports me in buying and growing lots of them.
 
As an empath (highly sensitive person) and clairsentient, I can tap into the energy of my surroundings and other living beings.  So, when I go to a store and pass by the plant section, I can sense the ones that are dying, and it feels sad.  It boggles my mind to see shoppers pick them up and put them in their carts.  On the flip side, I am drawn to the ones that are full of energy and light, and those are the ones that I take home.  They fill my day with a spark of joy!
 
Plants have consciousness too.  Cleve Backster is famously known for discovering through a polygraph machine that plants can detect the thoughts and intentions of humans.  He did this by attaching a polygraph machine to a dracaena plant in his office.  As soon as he prepared to light a leaf on fire, the polygraph registered the stress.
 
Our interconnectedness with our natural world is a lost relationship in today’s high-tech, fast-paced world.  This void is impacting us in many ways, science is showing, mainly in our emotional and mental health.  Connecting and being in harmony with Mother Nature can greatly benefit our holistic health.  Just a few examples include reducing stress, sleep enhancement, decreasing loneliness and even making us more creative.
 
Ready to give it a try?  Visit your local florist, nursery, or grocer who sells flowers and slowly just be present with the flowers.  Try and tune into your inner instinct to see which ones call you.  Not everyone is clairsentient, but you may experience a deeper appreciation of which ones you enjoy the most.  This is why I buy my own flowers.  I know the ones I pick out myself are enhancing my energy.
 
Whatever the reason, enjoy buying yourself flowers this Valentine’s Day.
