Encouragement by Yellow Cornelian Cherry and Holly

Today I was drawn to a very special shrub, the Yellow Cornelian Cherry from the Dogwood Family. Beautiful yellow blossom on still leafless branches, protected by the Holly that hangs next to it and above it. I felt connected to that Yellow Cornelian Cherry that is already blooming and is protected by Holly, it fits where I am now in my life. Carefully I started to show what I have to offer, the first successes are there, and being protected I take my first steps. I had to smile when I was standing there and studying the flower of the Yellow Cornelian Cherry. The flower has 4 leaves that symbolize for me the 4 Elements and the Earth, in between there are 4 axillary screens that reach to the Universe. I am currently also unfolding myself, spreading my wings in all directions and trusting the Universe doing it. Beautiful!

At home I looked a little bit further into this member of the Dogwood Family for the spiritual meaning and this is what I found. The Yellow Cornelian Cherry makes you aware of the much larger picture you are part of. You are part of a whole and connected with everything and everyone around you. Yellow Cornelian Cherry helps you to remember who you are and why you wanted to be back here on earth.

Holly stands for protection and safety. He wants to guard you and if you lose courage he helps you to remember by his green leaves and red berries that the Winter passes again and Spring will come. He protects you so that you can grow and develop yourself until you are ready to stand on your own.

Finding this combination, the Yellow Cornelian Cherry and the Holly, give me the signal that I can go for it and can trust the Universe. Wonderful how Mother Nature coaches and encourages you ♥

Do you dare to go for it? If not, let me know, we will look together at what Nature wishes to tell you about yourself.
