Message from Archangel Gabriel featuring the symbolism of violets

This week the lovely Archangel Gabriel provides us with guidance. Archangel Gabriel is the Archangel of revelations, creativity, motivation and inner child work, who helps us to dissolve fear and who brings comfort, optimism and a positive outlook on life.

The spiritual meaning of violets

Despite their unassuming nature as sweet, simple and modest garden flowers, violets are symbols of significant power, leadership, confidence and spiritual wisdom.

Violets encourage introspection by making meditation, journaling, implementing a spiritual practice and spending time in nature a priority. This will help us to keep our balance, to stay true to ourselves and to not get swept away by other people’s demands, problems and projects. The violet flower emphasizes the need for discernment regarding sharing ourselves as well as our projects with the world. When we keep our cards close to our chest and wait for the right time to play them, we will attract true appreciation and higher connections with people who resonate with our unique perspective and sensibility.

The colour violet combines the intensity of red and the calm of blue, balancing out the opposite energies of action and non-action, extraversion and introversion, and bringing a deep sense of inner peace. Violet has a deep connection to creativity, enhancing both the artistic and the spiritual aspects of life.

Channeled message from Archangel Gabriel

My dearest ones,

As Spring season approaches in the northern hemisphere and new energy and vitality are on the rise, I, Archangel Gabriel, would like to enlighten you with practical and creative guidance on how to prepare for this particular time of the year. I have chosen the symbolism of the lovely little violet to illustrate my message as this beautiful flower is the perfect example of portaying a balanced energy. The return of the sun awakens a new drive inside of you, a drive and desire to shine and to be active and creative. The long winter, in which you were in a restful state, has ended and you are now ready for change and renewal, but for many of you it merely feels like an inkling and it is difficult to see the fully ripened fruits and results of this surge of energy. I would like to walk this path with you, a path that is like a bridge between the seed and the fully grown fruit. This a creative path, which means that ideas and plans develop over time and insights reveal themselves slowly.

It may feel like there are forces working against you and that there are impending obstacles on your path. The reason for this is that you are more in a forceful mode than in a flowing mode. You wish to get going, get things done and immediately see the results, but this attitude goes against the flow of creativity and against the flow of nature. That is the most important lesson of the Spring season. Projects and ideas take time to develop and come to fruition, just like an apple tree is not immediately filled with ripe apples as soon as the sun get stronger and the weather gets warmer. There is a time of sprouting, a time of nurturing, a time of growing and a time of harvesting.

Modern society on Earth has chosen its own timeline, where often things are forced and sped up, which conjures up nothing but resistance and strain. If we look at the violet colour of this little flower, it consists of red and blue. When we translate this into energy, we see a hot, fiery, passionate and often impatient energy represented by the colour red and a calm, clear, sensitive and peaceful energy represented by the colour blue. Most people, in their work and private life, get lost in the energy of the red colour and forget to balance it out with the energy of the blue colour. In springtime, when the energy is picking up, this pitfall is lurking around the corner, which leads to stress and anxiety and burned out feelings about life. So, as the Archangel of creativity, I would like to see you succeed and thrive on the flow of the powerful Spring energy, but at the same time I would like to teach you about balance and moderation, about humbleness and patience. They are just as much a part of the creative process as the energy of action and the final results, and they are equally valuable. Let us address some of the resistance that you will encounter if you are dwelling too much in the metaphorical red energy and how you can balance this out with the blue energy. The violet flower illustrates this perfectly through three of its main characteristics.

The first feature of the violet flower is that it grows low on the ground, which indicates humility and timidity. Remember the saying: The bigger they are, the harder they fall. When you start small, take carefully planned steps by sharpening your skills and deepening your devotion and then gradually share your creative endeavours in whatever shape or form is relevant to you, there is a greater chance that they will succeed and that you will reap the rewards of your efforts. My guidance is not to overshare, but to keep certain matters to yourself, so that the energy can take shape first, which will then manifest into solid, tangible results. As people are at various stages in their lives and are vibrating at different energy-frequencies, not all of them will support you in your creative endeavours. Shield yourself from their criticism and skepticism.

The violet has beautiful heart-shaped flowers, which is the second important feature that I would like to bring to your attention. Let this encourage you to always keep in tune with the guidance and wisdom of your own heart. When you feel overwhelmed by other people’s input or opinions or with the scrutinizing criticism of your own mind, go back to the softness of your heart, and know that it is through the heart that you are connected to the universe at large. Remember that your heart never shouts at you. Take time to listen to its whispering guidance in solitude and silence even if only for a few minutes a day. It will make a world of difference.

Thirdly, the violet’s appearance changes in the course of the seasons. In Spring it shows its lovely violet flowers, but later in the season the flowers become more camouflaged and smaller, even greenish in colour, and this is where the seeds of the violet are held. The colourful flowers are for the world to behold and are even gathered up as decoration or as edible parts of food and medicine, while the seeds are kept safe, ensuring the plant’s reproduction and survival. The lesson for you is to not flow all of your energy towards the parts of you that participate in the outer world and are seen and admired by others often fueled by a longing for recognition and success, but to reserve some of your energy for yourself, for your own health and well-being, for your happiness and relaxation that are crucial for your survival and sanity as a human being. So, my dear ones, enjoy the Spring season and allow me to shower you and all of your projects with blessings, I am here for you with my love and guidance, but remember the lessons of the little violet and all will be well!
