Meditation Essentials: Contemplate A Flower

Nature provides a healing balm for the spirit. To tap into this spiritual calm, buy a flower from your local florist-one that you feel is particularly beautiful. Sit somewhere peaceful and simply contemplate the flower's perfection. Cup the head of the flower in the palms of your hands. Gently touch the petals, appreciating their shape and texture. Bring the flower up to your nose and smell its scent. Feel how the tensions in your body gradually ease as you tune into the sensuous beauty of the flower.

You can practice this meditation by recalling the image and scent of this beautiful flower. Or, you can purchase another beautiful one!
