“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” – John Keats
“I love the pristine beauty
Of a flower-flame.
I love the pristine purity
Of a flower-lamp.
I love the pristine reality
Of a flower-life.” – Sri Chinmoy (1)
Beauty has fascinated humans since the dawn of creation. It is something we love and identify with. Largely because it is a reflection of the beauty we each have inside ourselves.
You can try to feel this beauty you have inside yourself by practicing this meditation exercise.
First click on one of the dots on the lower right of the image – this will get Sri Chinmoy’s meditative music started. If you’re reading this in an RSS feed you’ll have to go to the actual website – come on it is just one click.
Find a nice comfortable place to sit where you will not be disturbed. Sit up straight while still making sure you are comfortable. Focus your attention on your breath and make your breathing very calm quiet and relaxed – this will help still your mind and calm your emotions.
Next, close you eyes and imagine the most beautiful flower. Imagine its color, its texture and its fragrance. Dive deep into the beauty of this flower. Try to feel the life force of this flower is pulsing in time with your breath.
Continue this exercise for 10 minutes. Do not worry if you get distracted, merely turn your attention back to your breath.
Enjoy!
