A Host Of Golden Daffodils

I have always loved the sight of daffodils, and Wordsworth’s closing line to his famous poem describes the effect of them beautifully when he describes ‘and then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils’ – they really do give us cause to dance with pleasure at the return of warmer weather and the promise of spring.

Daffodils are a symbol of strength and the arrival of success.  Spring is a time when we see plants starting to grow in the ground or in greenhouse seed trays, but any green fingered gardener will tell you that for seeds to germinate the growing conditions have to be just right.  You would not expect a seed to germinate if you planted it in soil that was lacking in nutrients, or that did not have any water, or had been planted in the shade where no light could reach it would you?  In order for your growth, and in order for your seeds to grow – be it a new business venture, exciting travel plans, new hobbies or a new romance, you need to ensure that your growing conditions are right too.  This is the time to look at your plans for the rest of the year and nurture yourself accordingly.  Perhaps join a gym or fitness class, perhaps clear out that cupboard that you know if full of clutter, perhaps your job is not fulfilling and it’s time to look for a new one, or learn a new skill? 


This season’s crystal picks reflect the joy of these possibilities for growth.

Golden Healer Quartz – this glorious golden crystal diffuses fears and insecurities and enhances joy and happiness.  It is a crystal that aids with self-healing and works with all the chakra’s bringing healing at all levels and helping us feel inner joy.  Try meditating with Golden Healer Quartz and let those barriers of fears and insecurities that get in the way of your happiness fall by the wayside.

Green Aventurine – this glorious green crystal always reminds me of Easter. It supports new growth and brings optimism making it especially helpful if you are about to embark on a new project or venture.  For Pisceans who are naturally quite sensitive, Green Aventurine can help sooth emotions when there has been an upset particularly if held at the heart chakra.

Citrine – this crystal positively pumps happiness into the world bringing optimism, positivity and prosperity with it.   If you are a ‘glass half empty’ person, try working with Citrine to see your glass half full.   Citrine encourages you to enjoy life, to live in the moment and to take part in activities that make you happy – a feeling that is most definitely catching for all those around you too!

The possibilities that surround you this spring time are endless, so as Wordsworth said, allow your ‘heart with pleasure fill and dance with the daffodils’.
