Often Sahasraram Chakra is referred to "thousandfold lotus" as a chakra name. The reason is simple - thousandfold refers to the many many aspects of a divine human being. All aspects of a divine human being need first to be developed - then the Sahasraram Chakra is really open and shining like a sunshine.
The aspects of a holy human being is so complex that no words can describe, yet of course some very basic aspects are described in the holy scriptures of this web site. The focus on divine love will help all other aspects of a holy human being to evolve at the right time and right pace. Love will create and nourish all missing aspects of your loving nature - until you are one with God and made to the image of God.
Rather than to focus on all hundreds and thousands of divine aspects of a God-like human it is much preferable to fully focus on the development and implementation of true love in all parts of your life.
Make all year a Christmas time for all humans around you and love will get used to flow more and more - flowing love will heal all damaged parts of your body, mind and soul until one with God.

I've got a guilty secret one of the things I really look forward to at Chelsea is visiting the floristry tent. When I confess this to my gardening friends they look mystified. 'Floristry?' they sneer 'Oh I never look in there'

Why is this? It seems that the world of horticulture is as rife with snobbery as the 'foodie' culture that has evolved over the last few years. For some reason floristry has been rather looked down on and ridiculed by 'real' gardeners. Admittedly it's an ephemeral art but I think that gardeners, especially garden designers, can learn a lot from the way florists use their materials.

chelsea_floral_arrangement.jpgI particularly admire their appreciation of form and scale. They create drama and interest, harmony and elegance by really utilising the shapes and textures of flowers, leaves and stems. I like the 'less is more' attitude in a lot of floral art - the arrangements allow you to fully appreciate the beauty of individual blooms or markings on a leaf. Twisted stems, sculptured bark and sinuous grasses are carefully sourced and selected to enhance the design but nothing is included that isn't absolutely necessary.

When it comes to colour combinations the floristry tent is a great place for inspiration. I know that florists are not constrained in the same way that gardeners are, by climate, soil etc but if they looked at their planting plans with the same unprejudiced artist's eye that florists do they might create something original and special.

This year the RHS is awarding several new floristry awards. The RHS Chelsea Florist of the Year was awarded to Neil Whittaker and Young Chelsea Florist of the year which will be announced on Thursday. Hopefully this will help to raise the profile of this underrated art form. So if you want to find me you know where I'll be. My secret's out.
