The Poppy
The poppy is a flower with a perfect balance between masculine and feminine energy. The poppy combines its high masculine assertive energy with the mystical and inward-looking qualities of the feminine. A patient and dignified flower that is not to be trifled with. She decides to bloom entirely on her own terms and in her own time and cannot be rushed, manipulated, or compromised. She cares little about her appearance although she knows she is undeniably beautiful. This outer beauty is not so important to her for she feels that her value lies within her deep ancient and mystical wisdom. Like a treasure hidden in an old underground temple. Hidden deep within the poppy's black, purple and gold heart lies her precious and secret wisdom.
And what is her secret? Her pure, powerful, and deep connection to both her heart and her mind simultaneously. She knows and feels like no other what she needs in able to be completely in balance and to feel empowered. A very valuable and rare gift. Truth be told, the poppy is a true Amazon. A strong flower who has a strong will and at the same time the composure and patience of the old and wise to let things unfold in the right time without doubting or losing faith. Truly an Amazon among the flowers, with the pure sense of justice, honor, and dignity of a warrior.
This flower has a deep inner knowing of the shamanic spirit. That wisdom sinks all the way down to your center and fills your sacred space with knowledge, intuition, determination, confidence, and fierceness. A pure inner knowing. A pearl of ancient wisdom whose origin is not to be doubted. The deep red velvet color of its petals holds great magnetic power and is awe-inspiring. I can almost touch it, that’s how tangible this feeling is to me.
Its seeds are strong and medicinal. They help bring well-deserved and necessary rest and sleep. Just sleep and wake up with a clear focus, fully conscious, and with a pure inner knowing and strength. The poppy contains the wisdom of your ancestors and the ancient knowledge of the alchemy and magic of nature. Pluck her and she will drop her petals quickly, but respect her space and let her be, and she will bring you wisdom and abundance. Be patient and believe in your own bundled strength of your heart and your mind. Bring these together in the perfect alchemical formula that is unique to you and that only you know. Go steady on your own inner compass, straight-ahead without losing focus.
The poppy is connected with the moon and the silent slumbering wisdom that is hidden within you. It relates to the rectangle of purity, truth, and determination. “I am the way I am and always have been,” she says. A magical flower with supernatural wisdom that she does not show off but that she protects and takes care of like a druid or a mystic would. She won't just tell you because her wisdom is secret and only for herself and the right beings that come her way and are worthy enough to receive.
The poppy is a dignified and merciful flower but be duly warned if your intentions are not honorable. The poppy will shut her petals swiftly and tightly if your intentions are not pure. If you approach her with unworthy intentions, she can harm you by confusing and dulling your mind with her powerful narcotic qualities and even put you to sleep forever. So be warned because she will not be fooled and knows clearly when your intentions are honorable or not.
If you have often noticed the energy of the poppy on your path as a messenger lately and you are open to its teachings without assumptions or expectations and with a pure and willing heart, then you may receive its wisdom.
This is the Feminine Focus Message of The Poppy.
“I have come to bring the message of inner knowing. Of confidence in the heart in balance with the mind. My deep velvety red color speaks of mysticism, deep wisdom, and the inner power of the warrior. I am confident in myself and my inner knowing/intuition. I can defend and protect myself quite sufficiently and I consider myself as highly valuable. Straightforward and clear, just and decisive. Without effort or having to do or be anything other than what feels true and just to me ”.
Do not doubt your own inner compass beautiful being and do not allow yourself to be compromised. Deep down you know exactly what you need in order to be in complete balance with your masculine and feminine energy. In order to feel this empowerment from within. Do not hesitate to close your petals if people approach you unfairly or want to get something done from you with a hidden agenda. Your inner compass and intuition will guide you in this and form your own built-in bullshit detector. You can certainly rely on that and you can take a stand by not tolerating this behavior towards you and react adequately and assertively in such situations. Shine in your own sovereignty, inner knowing, and dignity, and follow your own path with the courage and wisdom of a warrior.
Poppy Meditation.
Sit in silence and envision yourself in the middle of the golden purple heart of a giant poppy, surrounded and protected by its velvet red petals. The poppy receives you with love within her center and slowly folds her petals around you, ever closer until you are fully absorbed into her dark sacred temple of wisdom. And when you sit there, in this warm red mystical sacred place, you feel the poppy connecting with your own inner temple. The place in your physical or energetic body where your inner wisdom and intuition are hidden. Feel the warm love of the poppy pour into your own temple and illuminate it with its red and golden glow. Sit in this warm and loving space for as long as you want and feel the power and wisdom warming you’re full being. Rest your full weight in the heart of the poppy and know that you are carried and protected by it and by the strength and wisdom within your own beautiful divine temple, where your inner warrior watches over you. Perhaps images or words arise from your sacred space. Answers to questions, or insights on how you can best be in balance and evoke your strength. Just see what comes to you without expecting or forcing anything because nothing is needed or necessary in this sacred space. It may be enough for you to simply feel the warm light and enjoy it. That alone can already help you rekindle your hidden wisdom and intuition and grow in your inner strength. You can do this visualization as often as you want. Especially if you feel like you want to consult your inner compass or intuition, or invoke the power of your inner warrior.
