Creative,
Abundant and loving qualities,

Associated with the planet Venus,
The Empress also represents the beauty and harmony in our relationships with others and the natural world.
Connecting with the Empress can help us tap into these qualities and cultivate more love,
Creativity and harmony in our lives.
It's just finding a quiet,
Comfortable place to sit or lie down where you won't be disturbed.
Just allowing the body and the mind to come to a natural place of rest.
And just focusing on the breath for now.
And if at any point you do get distracted,
Just bring your attention back to the exercise.
Now imagine that you're standing in a beautiful,
Lush garden that is abundant with life.
As you visualize the garden,
Imagine that you are standing in the center of it,
Surrounded by flowers,
Trees and plants of all kinds.
Take a moment to notice the colors,
Scents and textures of the garden.
As you stand there,
You notice a figure approaching you from among the flowers.
This is the Empress,
In whatever form she takes for you.
It could be a person,
A creature,
Or even a symbol.
The Empress greets you with a warm smile and invites you to follow her through the garden.
As you walk,
She points out the different plants and flowers,
Telling you about their properties and uses.
She encourages you to touch and smell them,
To connect with their energy and vitality.
You come to a clearing where a small pond sparkles in the sunlight.
The Empress invites you to sit beside the pond.
As you sit,
You notice a small sapling growing nearby.
The Empress tells you that this sapling is a symbol of your own creativity and potential for growth.
She encourages you to take the sapling and to hold it in your hands.
As you hold it,
Allow yourself to visualize it growing into a strong,
Vibrant tree that represents your own potential for creativity and personal growth.
Allow yourself to connect with the energy and vitality of the tree.
The Empress encourages you to keep nurturing and tending to your tree and to trust that it will continue to grow and flourish in its own time.
She reminds you that you too are a creative being and that you have the ability to bring forth new life and abundance in your own way.
When you are ready to leave,
The Empress bids you farewell and reminds you that you can return to the garden any time you wish to reconnect with your own creativity and abundance.
Before you depart,
She offers you a gift of a flower or a fruit,
Symbolizing the abundance and prosperity of your life.
Take a moment to examine the gift that she has given you.
Notice its colors,
Scents and textures.
Take a moment to thank the Empress for guiding you on this journey and for sharing her gift of a flower or a fruit,
Symbolizing the abundance and prosperity that you will soon enjoy.
Share her wisdom with you.
As you walk out of the garden,
Feel the power and creativity of the Empress within you,
Ready to blossom and grow in your daily life.
So when you're ready,
Just bring your attention back to the room.
Noticing any sounds and sensations.
Take a deep breath and in your own time,
Opening your eyes again.
