Jayme Barrett explains the floral energies in the video above.<\/p>\n

From A to E, vitamins are responsible for strengthening our senses, bolstering our bones and invigorating our bodies from the inside out. Research proves that flowers, being dubbed by some as Vitamin F, help feed our need for serenity, inspiration, wellness, gratitude, love and optimism.<\/p>\n

Mind and matter are interconnected, according to personal fulfillment expert and best-selling author Jayme Barrett, as she points to university research studies<\/a> linking flowers with happiness, creativity, compassion and tranquility. Barrett\u2019s interiors expertise coupled with the floral investigations demonstrate that flowers hold an intrinsic, natural energy that, when used throughout the home, can create positive shifts in emotions, and lead to truly inspired living.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople and flowers both have a life force that needs oxygen to thrive, and light and water to live. And, when we are surrounded by nature, our emotions are calmed and harmonized,\u201d says Barrett, who has applied the principles of Zen and feng shui to floral design. Her philosophy is that we can cultivate idyllic atmospheres by purposefully integrating flowers throughout our living space.<\/p>\n

In fact, research from America\u2019s leading universities has cemented the connection that flowers have both scientific and emotional powers. As early as 2000, Rutgers University<\/a> found that flowers create instant delight and happiness, and increase enjoyment and life satisfaction. Most recently, a Harvard University<\/a> study introduced small bouquets of flowers into people\u2019s morning routines and discovered that respondents immediately perked up, much like they would with a morning vitamin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need and deserve simple ways of creating homes where we feel happy and harmonious by disconnecting from the hectic pace of the world outside,\u201d says Barrett. \u201cFlowers are a wonderful way to ease the stress of everyday life and refocus our emotions more constructively.\u201d<\/p>\n

So that anyone can introduce a range of positive floral energies in the home, Barrett shares a simple, do-it-yourself guide to creating Vitamin F arrangements. Her seven soul-stimulating energies include gratitude, wellness, inspiration and motivation, love and romance, new beginnings, serenity, and prosperity. Her floral formula factors in color combination, shape and significance, vase style, placement in the home and flower variety.<\/p>\n
