Book excerpt: ‘Fascinating...I’ll never look at a rose in quite the same way again.’ Adrian Tinniswood The rose is bursting with meaning. Over the centuries it has come to represent love and sensuality, deceit, death and the mystical unknown. Today the rose enjoys unrivalled popularity across the globe, ever present at life’s seminal moments. Grown in the Middle East two thousand years ago for its pleasing scent and medicinal properties, it has become one of the most adored flowers across cultures, no longer selected by nature, but by us. The rose is well-versed at enchanting human hearts. From Shakespeare’s sonnets to Bulgaria’s Rose Valley to the thriving rose trade in Africa and the Far East, via museums, high fashion, Victorian England and Belle Epoque France, we meet an astonishing array of species and hybrids of remarkably different provenance. This is the story of a hardy, thorny flower and how, by beauty and charm, it came to seduce the world.

Book excerpt: This book is an invitation to enter the Rose Garden: the sanctuary of the soul that resides within every human heart. For the Rose is one of the loveliest symbols of spirituality in the western world: a timeless expression of beauty, love, and, ultimately, oneness with the Divine. Each chapter will take you on a mystical journey through myth, religion, sacred art and poetry, including the Rose in the classical world, the medieval visions of Mary, the wisdom of the Sufi mystics, the hidden codes of the Alchemists, the ceremonies of 19th century magical orders, and the poems of modern visionaries, along with rose windows, the Kabbalah, tarot cards and more. Within the Rose Garden guided meditations offer gentle but profound nourishment to the soul leading to a sense of inner peace and a deeper connectedness with the essential Self through a uniquely Western path. One reader affirms: ‘I have travelled over a long time down many different roads to heal myself from the wounds I have suffered. However, Mara, it is your meditations that have been so fruitful for me. The Fire of Roses meditation feels as if on a deep level I have found and own myself with clarity and light’.

Download or read book The Way of the Rose written by Clark Strand and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.

Download or read book A Rose a Day written by Christine Henderson and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time that the idea of this book came to me I was looking for a prayer book that I could use to help a friend who was experiencing difficulties in his life. None that I found appealed so it was that I decided to write my own prayers in order to make a direct contribution to his well-being. The prayers that I wrote for him helped to change outcomes. Consequently I decided to write more prayers to help other people and subsequently to create a book which would make the prayers more widely available. There are different ways to use this book. Use one poem a day as a statement of intention or in prayerful form and work your way through the whole book; open the book at random and see which prayer calls to you; or simply ask each day for what you require and see what miracles and magic the rose prayers can facilitate in your life. Later you may decide to repeat the poems in whatever order seems right for you. Perhaps dedicating the month to increasing the levels of peace and harmony in your life will help amplify the rose energy. The dedication can be to anything you wish, whatever is relevant in your life at the time. The rose angels and archangels are ever ready to help us. They are only waiting to receive a clear request. Once the rose angelic beings receive a lucid appeal it enables them to take action to help us! So think of this special 33 days as your own private time, a period you deserve to have away from the stresses and strains of everyday living. The rose prayers assist in the development of personal creativity, thereby stimulating individuality and innovation. Utilising them brings out a sense of inner trust which helps the participant to bypass the rational mind and to journey to the central core of being. The sacred poems provide a platform for improving health, happiness and general well being. Recording your experiences in a special diary is just one way to chart the changes. Another way is to develop a book of drawings, or cut-outs, which link to the prayers. After a time the brain begins to accept what it sees as reality and gradually the changes begin to manifest. If it is not possible for you to remember the words of the poems in a general sense when you close your eyes, then make your own recording and listen to the cadence of the words. Or simply read the sequence three times, then close your eyes and let the poem take you to somewhere that is absolutely your own sacred space. If you believe in the power of the rose prayers they will certainly make a positive difference in your life. Everyone who feels so inclined can choose to experience the beauty of life, the comfort of roses and the energy of expansiveness.And most of all - enjoy the journey!

Download or read book A Rose About to Bloom written by Scentia Rose and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in a rural well known town in the Tidewater region of Virginia, there are some things that the area is known for. The famous ports that harbor some of the most notorious ocean liners known to the US Military, great southern recipes, local colleges and universities that graduate some of the best sports champions, and some of the finest flower blossoms ever to be seen in the heart of the south. I never really paid much attention to the former, but through an amazing journey of headaches and heart breaks became quite familiar with the latter. Something that I never realized was how very crucial it was to protect a rosebud, from the elements of bitter cold that crept back in after the season for blossoming had arrived. I remember grandmamma saying youd better cover my bushes, this cold snap will destroy my buds. And now I can see the importance of protecting the very delicate plant, from elements that would damage the vital process of growth and maturation into a full blossom. What is even more important to understand is the purpose of the Rose itself to Gods creation, and what is the priority of implementing every plan necessesary for its protection. Why it is not just the flower itself but its distinctly innocent purpose for beauty and joy in the scope of its existence. How God could create something so delicate and so brilliantly and uniquely detailed for an appearance, an aroma, an authenticity never seen nor known to mere man. I will make every effort to draw assimilation from the development of a natural rose to that of a spiritual impartation in the mindset of a young puberty age person forming morals values, concepts, identities, etc.. that, will ultimately determine how they interact and exchange in covenant or consequential relationships. Are you ready to take a close look at one of the most painful, yet truthfully necessary to talk about issues in our society. From the days of Biblical families to the most recent decades of new wave cultural families. We must stop trying to cover up the ugly details of sexual perversion and taboo issues of incest and sexual abuse that occurs every day to some young person, who is in the most crucial stage of physical and spiritual development. Sexual abuse stops the process of a life that will never truly be what all it could, had the interruption in the process never occurred. When a person is sexually abused there is an interruption that occurs with their own perception of themselves and the beginning of low-self esteem and other ugly manifestations, of a victimization not asked for or warranted occurs. Thus, it is an interruption of a Rose About to Bloom. I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Psalms 139:14-15 NKJ I believe that just as the Rose when exposed to the extreme and brutal external environments, inclement temperatures and the like is damaged; also is the life of the young person affected tremendously when they are exposed to invading demonic impositions through intruders of sinful activities. Like the life of the Rose is in severe danger under these conditions, causing adverse effects on its growth and development, so it is with a young adolescent who when exposed to the cruel environment of sexual perversion, incest, pornography, is ultimately, gravely affected mentally, physically, emotionally and interpersonally. Visualize the rose pedals being peeled away bearing the naked appearance of the rose; when one is molested sexually, a slice of you is taken away until finally your raw soul is left with hurt, bitterness, and pain. Many are left with trust issues which cause continuous hemorr

One day, she fell ill and her doctors had little hope of a recovery. Only one of them said that a cure existed: the loveliest rose in the world. If it was found and brought to the queen, she would be saved. But where was the loveliest rose? And what was she called? No one knew, but they went looking. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.
