Close your eyes and imagine the bud of a flower in your heart. It can be any flower you choose, one you have seen in nature or one you invent in your mind’s eye. Imagine this bud tightly closed, waiting for just the right conditions to manifest.
Your heart is like a flower . . .
Your heart is like a flower . . . First imagine this flower touched by gentle rains. Feel the softness and refreshing nature of this rain as it falls on the flower. Feel the flower touched with the gentle encouragement of each small drop.
Now imagine this bud being warmed by the gentle rays of the sun. Feel the warmth of that sun within you, spreading throughout your body — drawing the focus of warmth to your heart. Feel the flower within begin to unfurl, each lovely petal presenting itself like a gift of beauty to the world.
This is the flower of your heart. It is an offering of true beauty to the world. Smile with gratitude to the flower within.
