Heroes Not Zombies

It would be easy to get lost in the petals of this flower.

Isn’t it just astonishing?

The curving shapes, the layers, the shades and tones of colour, the light and the shadows.

Sometimes, in our busy, bustling lives, it’s good to stop for a moment. Still the mind by focusing on just one small part of the world – in this case a single flower, close up. Just let yourself take the time to gaze, to explore, to wonder.

Flower meditations are easy to practice – you can do them just for a few seconds, or you can take a few minutes. It’s up to you.

Try it and see how you feel. Because as well as the flower itself being a great wonder, the engagement of your focus and attention changes what’s happening inside you as well…..and that’s the extra bonus of a flower meditation….becoming aware of what’s changing inside you.
