On the way to achieving goals and gaining control over one's own life, a person comes to such a tool as meditation. Some people are immediately able to grasp the essence of this practice, others require more time, effort and knowledge.

The rose flower meditation is widely known and is available to practitioners of all skill levels. The essence of the method is described in detail in the book "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" by Robin S. Sharma, where the main character recommends freeing his mind from fuss and anxiety with the help of the Heart of Roses exercise.

Execution method

For this exercise you will need a freshly cut flower and a quiet place. Ideally, meditation should be practiced in nature, but you can opt for any quiet place.

Sequence of actions:

• sit in a comfortable position;
• look at the rose flower, studying the shape and color features, enjoying the fragrance;
• free your mind from thoughts.

Thoughts will come, but no need to focus on them. If the idea that has arisen in the head is deprived of nourishment, it remains alone with itself, is not accepted by the human consciousness and goes away by itself, disappears, releasing energy.

Description "Heart of Roses" looks simple, but most people will find it difficult to admire the beauty of a flower for more than five minutes at first. The reason is that the pace of life accustoms to constant haste, depriving a person of the opportunity, and eventually the ability, to a still, calm contemplation of simple beauty.

The result and meaning of the exercise

Regular performance of the "Heart of the Rose" meditation allows a person's mind to take a break from anxiety and gain strength for development, work to achieve internal goals, search for harmony. Everyday stress builds up as the mind wanders through the news headlines in search of strong emotional stimuli. There is a clouding of consciousness, which, under the constant influence of stimulants, loses the true goals of development, loses the ability to notice the simple joys of life.

Regular practice of contemplating the creations of nature, concentration of consciousness on the beauty of the surrounding world contribute to the fact that a person more often notices joy and beauty in his life. There is a filling with better positive experiences, emotions that form a state of happiness.

Another result of the exercise is especially valuable for purposeful people, as it contributes to the achievementassigned tasks. Exercise "Heart of Roses" teaches the mind to listen to its owner, to follow his commands, helping to achieve the goals. It has long been known that all possibilities and obstacles are in the head of a person, in the depths of his consciousness and subconsciousness.

According to the book by Robin S. Sharma, the Rose Heart exercise is a secret technique of yogis who live high in the mountains. Meditation was the basis of awakening the consciousness of a person who was considered worthy of it, and now it is included in business and personal growth trainings. The "Heart of the Rose" class is included in long-term programs with a recommendation of at least 21 days, as described in the book on mysterious yogas.

The protagonist of the book claims that he achieved a noticeable result after 21 days of daily use of the exercise, bringing the concentration time on the flower to 20 minutes.

Rose Symbol

The rose flower was not chosen by chance and is a symbol of human life, showing the way through sharp thorns to the beautiful and inspiring essence of all things.

Only those who have faith and are devoted to their dreams pass through obstacles, who are able to see and appreciate life itself in all its splendor behind the bustle of everyday life.

Visualization and Heart of Roses

Meditation can be accompanied by visualization practice. Bringing his face closer to the rose, a person tries to penetrate into its essence, immerse himself in consciousness in a beautiful flower, in the depths of his mysterious heart, which keeps the secrets of the universe.

The idea that the energy of eternal love and beauty fills the rose and passes to the person himself, enveloping him, helps to feel harmony, calm the body and mind. Thoughts, at first, come and are distracting, but they are removed gently, without stress or anxiety, simply by allowing them to dissolve into the energy of the rose. As the ability to free the mind from extraneous thoughts develops, some yoga teachers advise fixing in the mind an image that is of great importance in life, for example, a home, a favorite thing that needs to be filled with the energy of love and creation.
