sunflower symbolism
The sunflower is the symbol of the Sun and symbolizes love and admiration. But also happiness, vitality, positivism and energy. In Chinese culture it symbolizes long life and good luck.
There are those who attribute spiritual symbolism to the sunflower, since its movement following the position of the sun represents a happy way of life and a constant search for light, illumination, and love for the sun. For some religions it is a symbol of one who permanently seeks God, the divine, since the king star symbolizes God.
In Greek mythology, the nymph Clytia fell madly in love with the Sun god, Apollo, who did not feel the same way about her. Clytia’s heart broke and she died of grief, turning into a sunflower that followed the sun wherever she went. She did not want to lose sight of her love, the Sun.
Spiritual meaning of sunflowers
The sunflower flower is wrapped in symbolism, starting with its structure. The so-called “inflorescence in capitulum”, where the tiny flowers and subsequent seeds are distributed in a perfect circle, follows the model of the Fermat spiral or parabolic spiral. This gives him a magical power that is associated with the cosmos, immortality, evolution, personal growth and connection with the divine.
But much of the symbolism of the sunflower has to do with its heliotropism or constant search for the sun. In spiritual terms, this movement represents a search for light and a need to absorb good energies.
For the Chinese, the flower symbolizes good luck, health and happiness. The yellow color brings vitality and is, in short, a representation of life that is usually transferred to tattoos. That is why buying sunflowers is always a wise decision.
