The Oxeye Daisy
The Oxeye Daisy.
When I close my eyes, put my hands on this illustration and bring it to my mind's eye, I feel so much simple and pure joy flowing through me that it brings a big smile to my face. The oxeye daisy is a simple flower and it is precisely this that makes it a powerful source of pure joy. This small floral creature with its simple petals and color palette is deeply aware of its purity and value in its simplicity and is strongly connected to the higher energy of The Universe.
She never feels alone, even though she sometimes stands alone on a field or between a broken pavement tile. She knows that she only has to look around or sometimes has to practice a little patience to see herself surrounded by her floral tribe. And even if she stands alone for a while or doesn't see other little yellow and white flowers around her, she feels deep down that she's never alone because she's always in her own company and that's always good.
She knows her own worth and doesn't have to imagine herself to be a bird of paradise or a colorful jungle flower to know that she is just as valuable, interesting, and charming. She has the power to make you pause for a moment and make you feel a touch of light happiness when this little simple friendly flower decides to raise her head above the ground in the craziest places, even though the environment can be so desolate. The oxeye daisy is there for you with the message that a little bit of innocent and simple joy can lighten any gray, heavy drab place, just like any dark thought or experience. And the free and happy feeling she can generate when you find yourself standing in a field full of these happy little sunny flowers can be overwhelmingly beautiful.
So simple, yet so powerful. The oxeye daisy knows from a deep inner consciousness how powerful the simple act of BEING is and enjoys it to the fullest without needing more. She's good enough and perfect, just the way she is. The daisy has a special and strong connection with The Universe precisely because she is so pure in her being and her essence is so earthy. She feels the unconditional trust and love of the higher energies and radiates this effortlessly. Simple and clear, without any pomp and circumstance or ulterior motives. She doesn’t need all the theatrics to feel seen in her own right to exist. That right is simply there without apologies or doubt.
This is the Feminine Focus Message of this illustration.
Less is more. Simplicity brings peace and space. When you remove the restlessness and distraction from all unnecessary stimuli, you create more time and space for simply BEING and experiencing peace and joy. If you dare to trust the fact that you are enough as you are, without the theatrics or having to put on masks, you will experience a feeling of deep peace and confidence in your innermost being. Then there will be room for that primal trust from the higher energy and on your right to exist, and a lot of energy-consuming uncertainty and insecurity will disappear. Then you feel and know that you can just BE and enjoy without having to earn this first by showing off or keeping up an act. Something our old belief system thinks that more effort is needed or we first have to do something before we are allowed to receive, BE or enjoy something. If you can let go of all these false beliefs and sink deeper into your being and consciousness then your focus will flow pure and powerful and your path will show itself simple and clear.
Enjoy the journey of letting go of everything that covers your real pure simple and valuable BEING and feel the space and lightness in your body every time you have released some unnecessary stuff. What a wonderful feeling! Like a young light and free newborn lamb, jumping around happily in the meadow. That's you!
Daisy Meditation.
Visualize yourself lying on your back in a field full of blooming daisies. Smell the fresh sweet scent of spring in the air and see the clouds pass by, feel the warm earth firm and soft under you. You may smell the warm grass and feel the young blades of grass tickle your neck and bare feet. How does this make you feel, lying in this sea of flowers in the grass under the blue sky? How does your body feel and where do your thoughts or emotions go? Can you just BE here with yourself and enjoy this simple innocent moment, or do you feel like something is missing? As if there should be more, or you should do more?
And when you feel that, can you look at this feeling or the thoughts that arise with compassion and without judgment? Giving them the space to be heard and seen, then lovingly thanking them for their concerns about your well-being and telling them that it's okay and nothing more is needed. That they may rest and no longer have to be afraid. All is well because you are in your BEING already, always, and everywhere and that is always good enough for the present moment.
Nothing more is needed than yourself. And from there everything can arise, sprout, and blossom. You don't need anything extra than your pure and beautiful self. Trust in yourself, beautiful being, and enjoy being YOU.
