Since ancient times, it is considered that planting jasmine in your garden can help attract prosperity, happiness and abundance into your household.
Jasmine is one of the most beautiful and fragrant flowers found around the world. Its flowers give off a sweet, sensual, fruity yet powerful aroma that is deeply calming and comforting to the mind, body and spirit. The name jasmine has been derived from the Persian word ‘Yasmeen‘ which translates to ‘gift from god‘.
Jasmine primarily symbolizes love, peace, purity, strength, prosperity, compassion, feminine energy and spirituality.
In Thailand, jasmine is associated with Mother’s day and is used to represent a mother’s unconditional love. In Buddhism, jasmine symbolizes sacredness and forever love. In Greek mythology, jasmine is associated with Aphrodite – the goddess of love and beauty. And similarly, in Roman mythology, it is linked with Venus – the goddess of love, beauty and fertility.
In Hinduism, jasmine flowers are considered sacred to Lord Vishnu – the god of perseverance and His consort, Lakshmi – the Goddess of wealth. Also, it has been an age old practice in Hinduism to adorn statues of Gods and goddess using garlands made by stringing jasmine flowers together. A similar tradition (of adorning statues with jasmine garland) was present even in ancient Egypt, signifying the spiritual power that this flower holds.
Jasmine is a sacred plant and has the power to surround the area it is in with positive energy.
Carrying jasmine flower or wearing the scent also helps attract wealth and prosperity. It also has the power to increase your psychic abilities (or your intuition) so you make the right choices in life that will lead you to success and prosperity.
As Jasmine is a flower of love, it helps open and heal your heart chakra. So if you have a hard time loving and accepting yourself, consider taking a ritual bath by adding jasmine flowers or jasmine scent to your bath water. Switch off any artificial lights and surround yourself with candlelight as you take this relaxing bath.
A bath with jasmine, helps cleanse your aura, open your heart chakra, release negative emotions of anger, hate and jealousy and promote feelings of self love, optimism, creativity, confidence and compassion.
The scent of jasmine has the power to raise your vibration and awareness so you become open to receiving spiritual visions and messages. This is why jasmine scented candles are excellent before any spiritual activity like meditation, yoga or any form of divination. Jasmine has the power to expand the vibrations of mantras. It also makes the mind more receptive. So burning jasmine candles when reciting mantras or affirmations can be really beneficial in increasing the power of the mantra/affirmation. For instance, if you are reciting a mantra like AUM, jasmine will radiate this mantra across your space so you can experience the maximum positive effects of the mantra.
Before you begin to meditate, spend a few minutes in silence as you ask your questions and offer gratitude for the answers that you are going to receive. You can then go into meditation by focusing your attention on your third eye chakra or on your breathing. As you meditate, your intuition will bring in all the answers and guidance you are looking for. Just make sure that you are in a relaxed state of mind.
Wearing jasmine perfume or carrying the flowers with you (in your wallet or a sachet) can help attract spiritual love into your life. It can also help elevate your existing relationship to a deeper level. Spiritual love is much deeper (on a soul level) as opposed to physical love which can be shallow. So this is great for anyone searching for a soulmate.
A few crystals you can use alongside jasmine to increase your yin energy include, Amethyst, Moonstone, Rose Quartz and Selenite.
