Joyful Return Organic Flower Essence
Channelled Message:
‘I am the Song of Joy. Oh, how your heart sings, dear one! But I have not heard your song in such a long time. Let me hear your Heart! Let me feel your Joy! Join the chorus of Life! Let the sounds from your heart join with those of the birds. Learn from these masters of lightness and song. Make time for the connectedness of all things, to embrace your Mother (Earth).’

If you cannot find joy, or you do not know what this is (many people have forgotten), Joyful Return organic flower essence is an ally in helping you find and understand it. This essence is also suitable for those who feel disconnected from Nature and cannot appreciate Her gifts because of such a deep disconnect to those natural aspects within themselves. This is an essence of oneness with the Earth and all of her loving creatures.
Joyful Return is aligned with Cernunnos, Stag deity and Lord Of The Wild Creatures, as I really feel the communication of this essence offers the opportunity to connect deeply with the freedom of expression, to be ourselves, just as the wild creatures do. The Stag calls out in the woodland, the Wolf howls in the forest, the Birds sing on the branches. One of the many things these creatures have in common is their connection with the Earth, specifically the Trees, which are living, loving, wisdom keepers on Earth. When we lose our connection with the magic of the world, we lose a part of ourselves, we lose joy. We try to replace it with material goods - clothes, phones, food, jewellery, cars - but it is IRREPLACEABLE. This is a deeply important teaching of this essence. Earth magic cannot be substituted or replaced.
A SIDE NOTE
The increasing fashion for installing a green plastic carpet in gardens, which will thankfully weaken in time but not before some devastating effects on the ecology, natural habitats, the environment and waterways, is indicative of a disconnect with Nature, a physical manifestation of the severing of the human being from Nature and therefore an attempt to severe the natural - the unpredictable, glorious wildness, the inconvenience truth - in ourselves.
If you or someone you know is considering installing or has installed artificial 'grass', this essence may encourage you to rethink that nature-killing nonsense and come to your senses and get yourself a decent gardener who can help you create a haven for wildlife that suits your requirements.
