Sunflower Auras: How The Affect Us
What The Aura Fields Of Sunflowers Look like?
The image in the top right corner is the first sunflower that bloomed in my garden this year! I love the bright and sunny sunflowers. Flowers have beautiful energies. Here are some aura fields of sunflowers.
Top Left image: The energy of the room - pretty typical , light bright colors of green, blue, pink and orange
Top Middle: Sunflowers create energy fields of beautiful and vibrant orange and green. These are the colors of life force energy, and vibrancy, health and vitality
Top Right: As I bring my hand close to the flowers and begin to admire the beauty - its very evident by the auric fields that the sunflowers are aware of my thoughts. Notice how the fields around the sunflowers expands and increases in intensity and it also begins to send this energy to my hand!
I decided to also see if I could measure any difference in my auric field after interacting with the sunflowers. And yes they! Look at the image below
How Do Sunflowers Affect Us Energetically?
Left: Energy of the room- Notice this room had the sunflowers placed in here and the room now holds the orange and green energy of the sunflowers! Compare with the energy of the room before sunflowers were placed (top left image next to the sunflowers - the room initially only had blue energy and some green in the center)
Middle: This is my auric field from the back side before I even came close to any sunflowers on this particular day.
Right: I spent about 6 - 7 minutes around the sunflowers - mainly just taking the aura images for this experiement and perhaps a minute or two truly admiring the beauty and fragrance of the flowers. You can see that my auric field in these few minutes of interaction with the sunflowers has increased.
Energetic Properties Of Sunflowers
There is a clear increase in the pink energy around me - the energy of innocence and love! I did do imaging for all sides of my body - left, front, and right, the other sides didnt show any measureable shifts, but hey the back side of my auric field - the side from which we receive certainly showed a change in just these few minutes !
Sunflowers balance our solar plexus. Their energy helps raise our mood, lift our energy levels and brings forth smiles and happiness.
"Each blossom has a dark center and radiant yellow petals, representing the lightness that this flower can bring to you even when you feel at your lowest, or darkest"

We each have strands of energy almost like a thread or cord of light connecting us to the objects/items in our home. The objects that have a positive meaning for us or that were given to us by someone with whom we have a loving relationship will be clearer cords of energy. If the relationship with the person who gave us an object is not a good one, usually the strands connecting us to that object are murky or limp.
Every object in our home has an energy cord attaching it to one of our chakras or energy centers.
