Who doesn't agree that flowers are uplifting? It's why we bring them to friends and family who are homebound, hospitalized or send them to associates when loved ones have passed on. Flowers offer hope and remind us that life is good.
The beauty of a flower speaks to our hearts, and every child is fascinated by their fragrance, color, shape and feel and maybe their vibration. Like all things, flowers have a vibrational resonance.
It's not simply our association to flowers that triggers a response deep our hearts, it may be that flowers send the message.
Author Stephen Harrod Buhner in "The Secret Teachings of Plants" encourages people to tune in to the subtle world of plant communication. "Everything that you experience with the plant is important and bears some relation to its uses as medicine, its function in the ecosystem, its own
life history and desires and its relationship to humans and the world."
Becoming attentive to flowers can shift consciousness from the linear world to the nonlinear world. With a master's in transpersonal psychology therapy, flower essence practitioner and producer Sheryl Karas is a person who has experienced this shift.

Santa Cruz resident Sheryl Karas is a newcomer to the underground organic perfume industry. She's part of the burgeoning move-ment of artisan perfumers, mixing batches by hand, about 32 ounces at a time.
The artisans have their own network, Le Parfumeur Rebelle, or Rebel Perfumer, advocating natural and organic rather than synthetic ingredients.
"We're more akin to the handmade jewelry maker or tiny local bread baker down the street than to the large corporate perfume manufacturers you're more likely to hear about in a typical fashion magazine," Karas said.
Karas, 48, a counselor and Reiki healer, began studying herbalism in college. She found herbal medicine got better results than conventional treatment for her digestive problems.
