Ipomoea Violacea- Morning Glory

Morning Glory-  September 5 2011, Solar Essence, Home Garden Taos, NM

Deep connection with the expansive love of solar energy.
  • helps you stay connected with solar, daytime energy; “early to bed, early to rise…”
  • helps you stay connected with the universal love inherent in the gift of  solar light, and its reflection in the bounty and beauty of nature.
  • helps you to stay open hearted to all beings on this earth, and to the earth herself.

The power of morning glory is that of an entity that at first seems fragile but at second glance harbors a joyful, rebounding strength.  She climbs as far up as she can seeking the bright morning sun. Her flowers spiral open to drink in that sun for a fleeting time.  Her deepest power is to give us the strength to truly open our hearts to the beauty, blessedness, and goodness of the earth and all other beings around us.  She helps us remember to open our hearts and our spirits to the miraculous dance of life around us.  Spiraling, twisting, opening, she is a dancer and has a very dynamic, happy energy.  Her energy is also useful in helping us align with solar, daytime energy.  If you struggle with night-owl tendencies, this essence will be helpful in realigning your circadian rhythms with the daytime.  Her relationship with the sun reminds me of the way a great poet has written about the sun and god:

“The sun once glimpsed god’s true nature
and has never been the same.

Thus that radiant sphere
constantly pours its energy
upon this earth
as he does from behind
the veil”

~and~

“The 
Earth would die 
If the sun stopped kissing her.” 
― حافظ / HâfézThe Gift
Morning glory dances with the sun, nature, and the earth, much as Hafiz describes the dance of the spirit and nature, and thus is of great use in helping us to connect more deeply in that way.
