This is important. Breathe deeply (through your mouth) into your heart. Focus on the lotus that is imprinted within your heart. Find the imprint of the flower or the lotus within you. It is not necessarily a lotus in all of you. In fact, when we say it is not necessarily a lotus, we mean it does not necessarily look like one. Each person has a different flower vibration, but underlying is the vibration of the lotus, or the potential for enlightenment. Don’t be alarmed if you see a daffodil!

Now breathe into your heart and find your particular flower image. If you do not see it clearly, you might feel it or have a sense of it. It is important that you connect with the flower image because it helps you love the parts of yourself that you have pushed away. Breathe in three times, and take a moment to let the flower image come into your vision. Focus on your vision, the color, and even open your senses to draw in the fragrance. Carry the flower in your heart as a gift from the Divine Mother. It brings healing, particularly healing of the feminine aspect. (This is for those of you who are in the male-gender bodies as well.) Allow the flower to receive the parts of self that have been hiding from the light of love. Bring those parts of yourself that are tired and in need of help to sit in the petals of the flower. Rest in this image for as long as needed.
