Today I want to share a lovely experience that I shared with a little girl called Emily at an expo in Healsville that I recently attended. Emily,her mother and little sister were in the audience at Healsville when I spoke about Angel signs and how to interpret them. During my talk Emily’s little sister 9 years asked me about a repeated number sequence that she had been receiving; I knew the individual meanings of the numbers but asked her to come down to my stall and we would look up Doreen Virtues numbers book for more explanation. Following the talk the two little girls followed me down to my stall; after looking up the number meaning Emily had a question for me. All of 12 years old and as serious as they come, Emily says to me; “I have a question for you but I don’t think you are going to be able to answer it!” (This is what I refer to as Golden Tongued Wisdom or “Out of the Mouths of Babes and Others”) Emily was just delivering a message with no intent of any disrespect. After she said it I instantly knew that I would not know the answer so I said to Emily; “Well I probably won’t know the answer but lets make a deal; we will work on finding out the answer together.” She agreed to this. Emily said that since she had been at the expo she had been seeing a repeated sign; the ‘Paisley Print’. I must say I was quite amazed; what 9 year old even knows what a paisley print is! She said “I have seen it everywhere today” and she pointed out several examples as we were standing at my stall. Aren’t children just awesome!!
Lets look at the Spiritual meaning if the paisley symbol. The paisley symbol resembles a twisted tear-drop, kidney shape or an elongated comma; it is of Persian & Indian origin, however the modern name ‘paisley’ came from Scotland named after the town of ‘Paisley’. My investigations found that the paisley design is rich in symbolic and spiritual meaning. In India the paisley signified the time of harvest, a time of spiritual and socio-economical significance. In Eastern religions, two paisley symbols are representative of the ying-yang; the interaction of two polar energies :ie male & female of which encompasses creation; (this symbol is therefore often found on wedding bands to signify the union of marriage). Some believe that the paisley represents a floral spray and the ancient cypress tree of the Middle East; a spiritually rich tree often depicted in the Bible. The paisley also had its origins in royal designs of the Safavid Dynasty of Persia of the 16th & 17th century. At that time the paisley floral motif was very popular in decorative designs of royal insignias, crowns, jewellery, persian carpets & embroidery. The Paisley design saw a resurgence in the 60’s culture with an interest in Indian spirituality and was made popular by the Beatles pilgrimage to India in 1968.
After this encounter I realised that the Angels were instructing me to do further research into various ‘Symbolic’ ‘Angel Messages’; I’m sure this will prove to be very interesting.
Till next time;
Angel Blessings Always
