Blossoming is a verb, a word that describes a process, something that happens over time.

Which means that it can be very easy to be in motion and focus on the bloom, the end result, the optimal moment when the flower is at its peak instead of enjoying the journey it takes before and after. So this morning's meditation will give you the opportunity to stop and smell the roses

so you can be present for every moment of your blossoming. Let's begin with a big, deep, refreshing breath in and exhale it all the way. One more deep breath in and breathe it all out. Now relax further as you drop into your body's rhythm, breathing in calm, breathing out thoughts.

You have been blossoming your whole life, getting better and better with every moment that passes. So stop and smell the roses today and breathe in the perfume of appreciation for what is around you. There is no perfect bloom to get to my love.

No fairy tale ending to seek out. The magic is here. In the intoxicating scents of the roses all around you and within you. Reminding you of all the beauty of the now. Namaste, beautiful.
