My beautiful Dad planted these hyacinths a few months ago and brought them up to our home as a housewarming plant. Each time I walk past these angels of love their scent and sentiment warm my heart. Today I noticed this one - a double hyacinth - in the shape of a heart. Aahh...
I have been drinking the essence straight from the petals in the morning. The shape of the petals creates a little cup of dew. The hyacinth essence supposedly helps the integration of spiritual & earthly qualities and the development of inner hearing or intuition.
As you know there are many yogic practices that develop agni chakra or the third eye. One of these practices includes the shatkarma, trataka. See here for an explanation of how to practice to trataka. And now I'm thinking how lovely it would be to do trataka on this hyacinth. The photo will work just as well for you. Love Katie xxx
"Many people meditate in order that the third eye will open after the two eyes that see the world go blind. Such a thing will never happen. We can never close our eyes to the world in the name of spirituality. Self-Realization is the ability to see ourselves in all beings, even while our two eyes are wide open. We should be able to love and serve others, seeing ourselves in them. That is the fulfilment of spiritual practice."
