Snowy Owl with Galaxy Pansies

Snowy Owl Dreaming with flower medicine.
The Owl captures messages that remain hidden & far from view. Are you taking the opportunity to listen to the deepest part of your soul? Is there anything that you need to release from your life? Take some time out to listen deeply to those subtle messages that the Owl is bringing us today; this will re-align you to the mysteries of your soul path. It is an important time to hear your inner voice, trust and allow the hidden signs to come through and move forward with your newfound knowledge with confidence.NEGATIVE: Darkness, Ignorance, StagnantPOSITIVE: Release, Truth, Soul Purpose
Flowers
Flowers give us hope and give us something to hang onto. When I was a little girl I went through a lot of horrendous experiences and then a miracle occurred which was carried on a message of a flower which I saw come back to life after being dead right in front of my very eyes.It was a magical experience and one I almost forgot until I got older and began to remember again. So, flowers can be highly beneficial to the healing process or journey you may be going through at the time. We can forget so many memories and experiences from when we were young because of our day-to-day busy lives that symbolic and colourful paintings with sacred messages and symbols from nature can awaken us to, reminding and connecting us to the purity of our soul and the guidance that comes from within, just dying to come out.
Print comes with story postcard of the "Snowy Owl with Galaxy Pansies"

*Comes with detailed spiritual story of your favourite "Butterfly Hearts Dreaming" Animal
'Butterfly Hearts' ~ Messages from Spirit ~ ProtectionSurviving from 1 week up until a year, the butterfly's life span is rather short, but it's process of transformation is undeniably a true reflection of our own life's cycles. We can learn a lot by studying the wildlife of mother nature.Sometimes spirit gives us messages in ways that we can understand in the psychical world. Butterflies are a way that they can communicate with us. We may have had a Grandmother, Mother or Aunty that has been beside us from the beginning, the Butterfly is a gentle reminder to let us know that we are safe and protected, the Butterfly is a way to let us know they are near and loving us from a distance. Connecting to us from their heart to theirs inside the hearts of this Butterfly. The spirals outside is the nature of infinity, osculating out, automatically renewing itself with each breath. Nature is in a constant state of flux, fighting against this force is to deny the true nature ofourself.
THIS IS A PROTECTION, HEALING & MESSENGER PAINTING IN RELATION TO SPIRIT.
