In my last post I wrote about how messages by way of animal or plant symbols can come to the reiki practitioner during a reiki session Dublin
Here is an example...
After a distance reiki session with my sister, I kept seeing a vision of a pine cone for her, particularly around the crown chakra & third-eye chakra.
As I said before, some symbols are more obvious in their meaning. Other times, messages come in the way of less familiar symbols.
What is the spiritual meaning of a pine cone?
Well, here it is:
A pine cone is one of the oldest light-sensitive plants in the world. Pine trees naturally grow in some of the harshest, coldest places in the world with the least light - the Northern hemisphere. The pine cone, from one of the oldest trees in the world, has learned over millenia to be as light sensitive as possible, opening in the light & closing down in the dark.
Sarah Greenman says in her blog: "Throughout the span of recorded human history, pine cones have been a symbol of human enlightenment, resurrection, eternal life and regeneration.
Conifers are some of the oldest forms of plant life on earth. Researchers found traces of conifers dated back to 300 million years ago, while traces of pines can be dated back to 153 million years ago."
So the pine cone has come to represent regeneration, resurrection & illumination.
The pine cone is also said to be a repilica of the pineal gland, which is a gland located in the third-eye chakra. Also resembling it very much in physical appearance. As Sarah Greenman says: "The pineal gland is a remarkable feature of the human experience. Nestled in the brain between the two hemispheres, it is a source of endless intrigue in the realm of mysticism. Sometimes the Pineal Gland is referred to as our “third eye” the “dream center” or my favorite, the “mystic seed.” (Sarah Greenman, sarahgreenman.com)
So the pine cone is a direct symbol of the third -eye chakra.
Therefore seeing the pine cone as a symbol or totem, is a message that the third eye is being activated, that the third-eye will be increasingly sensitive, and receptive to "light" or intuitive messages. Representing an expansion of the third-eye chakra. Also representing regeneration & resurrection, leaving a situation that has had to be overcome in order to re-emerge into a new lighter situation.
Paying attention to symbols that come into our awareness during reiki, is a great way to receive messages.
