Sunflower:
Sunflowers are associated with protection, faith, luck, and flexibility. If given as a gift, it is a symbol of safety and happiness in the home.
You will need a sunflower plant for this. Alternatively you can use an large, uncooked sunflower seed.
Face the sun, breathe deeply and take into yourself the aspects of the sunflower. Feel yourself absorbing abundance, longevity, and prosperity into your life just as the sunflower absorbs energy from the sun.
Now, remove a large, ripe seed from the sunflower (or the largest seed you can find from your seed packet) and place it in your pocket. It is believed that this will bring you protection, along with the other aspects associated with the sunflower.
