This is a really simple but beautiful meditation, inspired by an article I read in an old copy of Paradigm Shift Magazine. Rose are symbolic of love and are lovely to use with a heart centred meditation. This meditation represents the opening of the heart centre to reveal our inner beauty and the light which shines from our core.
Meditation
Quieten your mind and consciously release any tension that you feel throughout your body.
Visualise a golden ball of light within the earth and take a strand of that light up through the base of your spine and let it rest in your heart centre. Next, visualise a white ball of light just above your head in your soul centre and allow a strand of that light energy to flow through the crown centre at the top of the head and down into your heart centre. Take a moment to adjust to being connected above and below.
Using the creative imagination, visualise a pure white rose within the white ball of light just above your head.
See this rose coming down through the top of your head, your crown chakra, and continuing down through the brow and throat and then into the heart.
Focus your awareness on this rose and pay particular attention to its petals.
Watch as the petals unfold and open out one by one, as the rose expands to reveal an inner bud .
Now that the rose is fully open, it radiates out beautifully soft, loving light and energy.
Stay with your focus on the rose within the heart for as long as you feel comfortable before moving on to the next step.
Slowly bring your senses and awareness back into the room, become aware of the feeling of the earth beneath your feet and open your eyes when you feel ready.
