I had to share this beautiful plant spirit guide of mine. I took this photo up in the Blue Mountains of NSW, Australia. I have a powerful affinity with this magnificent plant species. Magnolia's in general are a strong, regal plant but the white magnolia has a special place within my Moon Crew (Dragon, Wolf, Tawny Frogmouth, Scribbly Eucalyptus, Cherry blossom).

White Magnolia has a colourful history as a symbolic flower in many cultures. In essence the white magnolia represents love, nature, perseverance, body strength, nobility, purity, life-force and birth. Their life-cyle involves periods of absolute bare branches in winter followed by beautiful light green foliage and then flowers as seen above in spring. This cycle provides a key insight into its healing qualities. There are times to remain dormant and introvert (exploring the realms within), then times to remove the ice and unwanted shell to reveal new growth, coming into full flower. To connect with this plant is to connect with a deep sense of beauty, emphasis on releasing unwanted trauma's/pain/relationships, strong sense of purpose and affinity to healing, especially inflammation. The Chinese use the bark to resolve stagnation, phlegm, wheezing, sinus trouble and headaches. If you ever see a White Magnolia, go up to it and touch the leaves or flowers, you will feel their strength. And if you get the chance, sit beneath this beautiful plant and absorb the healing embrace.
