  Namaste. Today we would like to discuss
• 0:06
  the book by the Mother Flowers and their messages.

  Every living being responds to different vibratory patterns and
• 0:24
  even human beings. We have what we call the
• 0:27
  chakras, which each sequentially vibrate to higher and higher
• 0:33
  vibrations, and when we respond to those energies, we take
• 0:38
  certain forms of action. The Mother was able, through her
• 0:44
  spiritual insight and occult background and training, to
• 0:51
  determine that various flowers, based on their color, their
• 0:59
  shape, their energetic energy, are able to respond to different
• 1:04
  energies and transmit those energies to individuals who are
• 1:08
  attuned to that. As a result, she codified many,
• 1:14
  many flowers and their spiritual significance and identified the
• 1:20
  different vibrations of those flowers based upon their color.
• 1:27
  For instance, so the hibiscus was known as power.
• 1:35
  It radiated a force of energy, but different shades or colors
• 1:40
  of hibiscus would vibrate either physical power or vital power or
• 1:48
  mental power or spiritual power or psychic power, whatever the
• 1:52
  color of the vibration was. Similarly, the bougainvillea
• 1:59
  which is named by her protection took on different forms of
• 2:06
  protection. Based again on the color of the
• 2:08
  bougainvillea flowers that manifested in this book, Flowers
• 2:15
  and Their Messages, the mother has systematically gone through
• 2:21
  numerous flowers, their spiritual energies.
• 2:26
  They're organized them by their botanical names with an index to
• 2:33
  common names and an index to the spiritual significance so that
• 2:39
  people can use this to actually enhance their environment, to
• 2:45
  create an energetic field around themselves that is responsive to
• 2:53
  energies active in the universal manifestation.
• 2:58
  Flowers can be a very powerful form of communication of
• 3:02
  energies, and the mother has done a tremendous service to us
• 3:06
  here by organizing this information and presenting it in
• 3:11
  a way that we can make a lot of use of it.
• 3:15
  So I highly recommend the book Flowers and Their Messages.
• 3:19
  I've used it for many, many years.
• 3:22
  We have a very close connection to many flowers in our
• 3:28
  environment and we feel uplifted and transformed by the energetic
• 3:35
  force of the flowers that we surround ourselves with.
• 3:39
  So thank you and Namaste.
