Pincushion Hakea
(Hakea laurina)
The Free and Open Mind
Healing Nature
The essence of opening up to new concepts and ideas. To take the fear out of the unknown and untried. To understand the value of the different hues instead of only perceiving things in black and white. To feel the thrill of exploring another realm of thought. To inspire full acceptance of the beliefs of others without feeling unduly persuaded or influenced against one’s better judgement.
Spiritual Qualities
Life can seem so storm-filled that we rush to any safe harbour and fear going out again. We make some sense of Life and then hold onto our precious concepts, threatened by any other concept that may erode its sense of reality and safety. Our safe harbour can turn suddenly into a “Pearl Harbour” where we find our concepts out of step with reality and we are overwhelmed. The middle way is to be prepared to keep our mind open to new developments and expansions in consciousness, and choose that which is the most Life giving and positive, be it an old realisation or a new one.
