About Flower Focused

Flower Focused aims to improve emotional and mental health by increasing sensitivity to Beauty expressed in flowers. The direct emotional impact of Beauty creates an internal experience of joy, harmony and order that is healing. Such an emotional experience connects us immediately with the goodness that is at the root of existence. Beauty strengthens faith and hope and counters despair and depression. Flower Focused is also dedicated to the Beauty of philosophical flowers, those most noble and time-tested thoughts that blossomed from world sages. Wisdom creates mental order and harmony that heals, inspires and gives purpose to our lives. By cultivating a sensitivity to Beauty in our hearts and minds, we create peace, health and vitality within ourselves and in the external world.
