Play the Audio for the Imagination Exercise. Enjoy!
There are probably a few more details you were able to “see\” during this exercise. For example, the stem may have still had leaves on it, or there might have been prominent thorns. When trying to decipher meaning of what you see, the first thing to do is ask questions. What are thorns for? The answer may be: “to protect the rose or the rose bush\”. What are leaves for? “They absorb sunlight and are a source of nourishment. Maybe they signal the ability to give life and vibrancy to something\”.
As you ask questions, you will get new ideas as per what the meaning of your “visions”.
Closed bud: young, shy, sheltered, hiding, virginal……
Open bud: extroverted, outgoing, fertile, mature, vibrant…….
Not all of these words will fit your scenario. Also, there are many more words that could be used to describe a flower. Pick the descriptors that \”feel\” the closest to the scenario you \”saw\”.
Practice!
Our imagination is something we should all spend time developing. It doesn’t matter how old we are. The more time we spend with it, the more open we become to communication from the universe and beyond.
Another thing to consider as you develop your imaginative sense is that pictures and symbols can be very powerful forms of communication. An example of this is traffic signs. There are many traffic signs that are images as opposed to words because the images convey so much more information. When we are driving, we have such a short amount of time to observe the sign, it has to be precise. Pictures are the most efficient way to do this.
If you would like to expand your knowledge of the meaning of pictures and symbols, we do have a course called the Language of Symbols. It contains explanations and interpretations for many symbols including colours, numbers, plants and animals. It also spends some time explaining dreams and dream interpretation because this is where we encounter a great deal of symbolism.
