My name in Italian means, “We look at the sun.”
Besides me taking license to say corny things like I am here to light up your life, (but really, with this work, I can!), I am drawn to all things sun and sunny, which brings me to sunflowers. As such, sunflowers have particular significance to me.
In hypnosis and NLP work, we use metaphors, as they are powerful agents to communicate universal truths, stories, beliefs, values, and lessons. The built-in metaphor for sunflowers is too on the nose to ignore. Sunflowers perpetually look for the light and grow towards it (tracking east to west in the course of a day; then back to east when the sun goes down), as they follow the sun, thriving and flourishing precisely because of it. They also reflect the light, both in color and in their uncanny appearance, which is much like that of the sun—the very source of life for them and others.
Symbolically, sunflowers are said to represent a host of wonderfully positive characteristics. Among them are warmth, approachability, happiness, comfort, high energy, loyalty, devotion, and adoration. They certainly light up a room.
Another fascinating relationship of note here correlates to the Fibonacci sequence, present in mathematical sequences and throughout nature, which manifests in various forms, such as the branch structure of trees, seashells, human anatomy, and the intricate pattern of the seeds on sunflowers. This spiral pattern, often contextualized as the Golden Ratio or Divine Spiral, symbolizes balance, harmony, and perfection. It represents the interconnectedness and infinite nature of all things, reflecting the natural order and beauty found in the universe.
Spiritually, the Fibonacci spiral embodies profound symbolism and purpose, representing growth, evolution, balance, and divine order. It reminds us of the ever-expanding journey of self-discovery and realization, showcasing perfect proportion and relationship in the universe, along with the interconnectedness of all living beings, as each number in the Fibonacci sequence is connected to the previous and subsequent numbers, just like our own connections with others (or how one thought, feeling, or step we take in our life leads to the next).
As we remain connected to the divine order of nature, which we are very much a part of, this fosters our growth and progression in our journey through life. Tap into this energy that fuels your path towards light—embrace your natural rhythm and expand your consciousness.
We essentially operate from our unconscious minds. When we are stuck in a pattern (the very reason you seek change here), we understand in hypnosis and NLP that it is because you are focusing (shining a light, if you will) only on a very small portion of your potential. In my work with clients—you—my job is to help you broaden your spotlight, your view, your vision, so your inner light allows you to see everything you are capable of doing. This sparks your transformation and guides your journey, well, into the light! Keep reaching, growing, and thriving. And lighten up along the way! Keep being you, only better.
