Dear Lovestar,
Sunflowers are not only pretty and delightful, but they also have healing properties.
Healing Properties
Sunflower is an expectorant, it’s also used to aid with coughs and colds, stomach issues, even nosebleeds. It’s very good for the kidneys. Don’t forget the seeds are very nutritional as well.
Spiritual Meaning
What is the meaning of sunflowers? Asked someone in my twin flame Lovestars group on Telegram. I had looked while I had my 2020 sunflower, I even made a post about the meaning of flowers in dreams, see the link to that post below. On this post I also share the picture of the original mother sunflower from 2020, the one we never planted. Then I looked at the meaning of sunflowers again.

Synchronistically, while I was looking for the meaning of sunflowers, one of my daughters showed me a cutout from a magazine with different bouquets and the meanings of the flowers and of course the first bouquet had as the main flower sunflowers, it was so amazing.
For giving flower bouquets, sunflowers say “BE STRONG” and were placed in the get well bouquet! I was impressed because I’ve needed the sunflower strength during this rough time when my 2021 sunflowers have been enjoying my garden. I’ve been going through (not over yet) a miscarriage and the worse time, I have hit rock bottom and therefore needed to feel the sunflower strength and the healing bouquet. I’m so grateful for them.
Greek Myth of Apollo and Clytie:
Clytie was a sea nymph who loved Apollo and at first, Apollo loved her, later though, he fell for another. Clytie became so jealous, she told the other woman’s father and her father buried her alive. Apollo then turned Clytie into a flower š» but she loved him so much that she still followed Apollo everyday and, according to the ancient Greeks, this is why sunflowers look at the sun.
Sunflower meanings: because of the Apollo Clytie myth, sunflowers are seen as a sign of adoration and loyalty (twin flame flower all the way, in my case, my 2020 sunflower was a present from my twin’s soul or the spirirs that surround us, it was a divine, magical event that was very meaningful in my twin flame universe). I’m his sunflower and he’s my sun, I just texted my twin!
Love Poem From Clytie to Helios
Helios, the sun god, is my love.
He had loved me long before;
His love was never moderate.
Were my charms not enough
For the shimmering sun god?
Dear goddess Aphrodite,
Am I out of grace? Am I to blame?
Am I jealous? I desire you always.
Your cold gaze looked away
And found love elsewhere,
Leaving me in so much pain.
I told her father; now she’s dead.
A dead girl cannot sway
The only one who is my fate.
But, beloved, why are you angry?
Look my way, grace me again:
Remember my youth on your bed,
The one who truly loves you,
The one who always follows you,
Grant me your gaze once again,
Dear beloved sun of my life.
Every day I follow your sunrays,
Sunny, cloudy, under rain.
My sustenance, your love rays;
At night, I mourn.
In China sunflowers mean good luck, long life.
Sunflowers symbolize faith and are used in different religions and faiths mainly because of their resemblance to the sun, we know that the sun blesses us and helps us ascend, so sunflowers are reminders to look at the light always.
Oshun’s Flower
In Santeria which is observed in Cuba where I’m from but originated in Africa and was brought to America by slaves, there’s the river goddess, Oshun. The best offering to Oshun is sunflowers, which are observed as her flower.
Oshun is a fearless and fun super powerful divine feminine. Oshun is also dressed in yellow as this is her color. Sunflowers representĀ empowerment and Oshun is most empowering, her daughters are very empowered.
In native American cultures sunflowers meanĀ harvest and bounty.
The Incas used sunflowers to represent their Sun God and their priestesses wore them on their hair.
Meaning of the color yellow
We cannot talk about sunflowers and ignore their lovely yellow color. Yellow flowers have become my favorite flower since the birth of my sunflower in 2020 and also I realized that I needed yellow for my third chakra. The color yellow symbolizes friendship, vitality, and intelligence.
Third chakra: the third chakra’s color is yellow š and being exposed to this color can help balance it. It is important to balance this chakra because it is our center of personal power. In my own healing I was guided first to use the color orange and then to use the yellow color.
