Come on a journey with me,
Allowing yourself to take three beautiful breaths.
We are going to breathe the breath of Isis,
Which comes from the house of the bee,
Which is a mystery school based on ancient wisdom from the ancient times.
So feeling your feet on the ground and imagining yourself breathing through Mother Earth into your feet and all the way through into your heart,
Holding in your heart space and breathing out life.
And if your breath does not match mine,
All is well.
And breathing from above,
From the cosmos,
From the galaxies and the more galaxies and beyond the galaxies,
Breathing light all the way through,
All the way through your crown and into your heart space and breathing out light.
And in allowing yourself to do both at the same time,
Breathing from below and above at the same time and into your heart space,
Where they connect and intertwine and become love,
Breathing out.
So breathing life and light and as you breathe life and light together,
They become love.
And of course love is the essence of the rose.
Love is a gift that the rose brings us,
So now that we are in a grounded space,
I would ask that you would imagine yourself looking at your hands that are cupped,
As though you are going to drink water,
But you are not drinking water,
You are looking into your hands and in your hands you see a tiny,
Tiny seed,
The seed of the rose.
And you gently take your seed of the rose outside into a place where roses will thrive.
Perhaps it's a place in your garden,
Perhaps it's a place in a forest,
Perhaps it's a place that is special to you,
Imagining in your mind's eye that you are taking your seed and you are digging a little hole.
To you the hole may not be very deep,
But to the seed it feels dark,
Scary,
It feels lonely,
It feels confusing,
It feels heavy.
All of those things that we feel as humans so often,
Sometimes multiple times in a day we feel,
We go through those feelings and now we are in a space where the feelings and the frequencies in ourselves change so rapidly.
And we stand and look at the little seed as we pack dirt on it and it is hidden from all,
Almost even hidden from itself,
But you as the keeper of the rose seed knows that it is there and it is ready to begin its newness.
And as you stand and look at the rose,
You say a little blessing over it.
We bless you,
We send you blessings,
Beautiful little seed,
Beautiful little rose seed who has come here to grow and to be so much more than we see now.
And yes,
Some of you may realise now that as we speak these words,
This is a metaphor for your life and as we sink into the metaphor of the rose,
It becomes easier for us to accept and acknowledge the truth that the rose brings us because it is woven into a story and that is a way that we as humans find things easier to accept and acknowledge and appreciate and love.
So sending your blessing to the beautiful little seed,
Blowing on the beautiful little seed the breath of life,
The breath of light,
The breath of love,
And you could go and sit in the chair in your garden,
You could go and sit there and wait for the rose to grow.
You may be waiting a little while,
A long time,
Days,
Weeks,
Months even.
So let's just speed up the process now,
Stepping through the portal of the growth of the rose so that we can fast forward this process.
But knowing full well that sometimes when we plant the seeds of desire in our hearts or when we are looking for change,
They don't come overnight.
They can take a little while,
A long while,
A big while.
But just for today let's throw some magic around and imagining that the rose seed now cracks open the painful cracking as the tower moment in the tarot card.
The cracking can be such a painful moment for the shell,
But not for the seed because the seed now can grow and burst out of the shell and the shell falls away,
No longer needed,
Knowing that it was there for a reason and no longer needed now.
It's not a bad thing,
The shell is not a bad thing and justice are things that we do not need anymore,
Why not bad things are there to keep us in the space,
In the safety,
To protect our seed.
And as we watch,
We watch the little seed crack and start to grow like a shoot through the soil,
Through the beautiful rich soil of life.
And the seed cracks open and becomes the shoot,
Growing through the dark,
Damp earth and heading towards the light,
Not really knowing where it's going but somehow it manages to find the surface and break through and find the light.
Which really is this beautiful metaphor for us and our life on the earth.
Those that are fortunate enough to find the light.
Maybe we are all in the light but some of us don't see the light for the light.
So the rose would encourage you to see the light as light.
You stand there like a proud mother watching this beautiful seed crack open and become a new thing,
A new being.
It's like yay,
You're standing on the sidelines like a proud,
Proud mother.
On the sidelines of the soccer game.
Watching your little one grow and learn and become something new.
Watching the seed grow and become the shoot.
And watching the shoot grow and become the rose bush and watching the rose bush grow.
Allowing the petals,
Allowing the blooms.
And eventually,
Sometimes,
Years later,
The buds form on the rose.
Can you see them?
Can you see the colour?
What colour do your eyes see today?
Can you see the colour?
Tightly wrapped in its bud.
Still encased in a new seed because it's not ready to bloom yet.
Waiting for the right time.
And the sun shines and the rain falls.
And suddenly,
One day,
The bud is ready to become the next phase of its life,
To become the rose.
And it starts to open.
And it starts to open.
And it starts to open even more,
Even more.
And then you can see the colour.
Can you see your colour?
Perhaps it's a deep,
Deep,
Deep red.
Or an apricot.
Or a cream.
Or a white.
Perhaps it's the black rose of Turkey.
And you bend your face down to be close to the rose as it blooms.
It's beautiful openness.
And you take a deep,
Deep,
Deep breath in through your nose.
And you can smell the essence.
You can smell the truth.
And you put your ear to the rose and you can hear its truth.
As she says.
.
.
She says a message for you today.
And you stand up again,
Looking down at your beautiful rose.
Perhaps there's more that have bloomed now.
Perhaps there is a whole bed of roses.
And you take the wisdom that the rose has given you today.
You take the song that the rose has given you today.
You take the love that the rose has given you today.
And you put it back into your hands.
Put it back into your hands just as you did before,
When you were carrying the seed of the rose in your hands,
In your cupped hands.
This time you are carrying part of the rose.
Perhaps you actually want to pick the whole rose and put it in your hand.
Perhaps you just want to bring the frequency back.
Perhaps you're taking one petal or a leaf.
Putting it into your cupped hands.
And allowing it to come close to your body,
Close to your heart.
Perhaps you would like to put it metaphorically into your heart space.
Perhaps you'd like to put the frequency of that rose that you just nurtured and grew into being into your heart space.
Reminding you of the wisdom that the rose is here to share with us.
So many truths in all her experiences.
So many truths.
And taking a big,
Deep breath and bringing yourself back into the now.
Knowing that you are changed.
Knowing that wherever you are in your journey,
You can always come and find that wisdom of the rose.
Knowing that that wisdom of love,
Of pure cosmic love,
Is within you.
Knowing that wherever you are in your journey,
Whether it's deep in the darkness,
Whether it's just starting to burst through the seed,
Finding light,
Whether it's growing and growing and growing and feeling like you're never going to get there.
Whether it's being the tiny bud that is ready to bloom but not quite ready,
Or whether it is the full rose.
Wherever you are on your journey,
You are loved.
You will always be loved.
So bringing yourself back into the now space.
Taking a big,
Deep breath in.
Allowing your shoulders to move.
Stretching your fingers and your hands out.
Allowing your body and your mind and your consciousness to come back into the space right now.
