Rose

Centre:

As above, so below, bridging the realms.

A red rose indicates love, whereas a yellow one is often taken as a refusal of love.

Prayer for a rose:

Praise to the roses, full of beauty.

Blessed are they amongst the flowers of the earth. Blessed is their aroma, their colour and their form, for they are without compare.

Praise to the roses, full of joy.

Blessed symbols of love, compassion and grace. Queen of flowers pray with us now and at the time of our death.

Love, balance and hope...

Meditation with a rose quartz crystal

Set up a space in your home or out in your garden, whatever is more convenient for you.

With a rose quartz crystal and a flower (ideally a rose) of your choice sit quietly and tune into that inner voice within you.

Listen as you bring your hands to your Heart and fill them with love and healing from your heart chakra.

Send healing to all those who need it in our world, to our family and friends, mother nature and the animal kingdom for the highest good of all.

Like the flower the crystal signifies love and compassion. It is also known as the heart stone.
