Visualisation / Guided practice

Build a living rose.

Adapted from Annie Besant’s
Thought Power

One coral-pink painted rose with a green stem and two leaves

The purpose

Practise forming a mental image, holding its parts together and changing one part deliberately. You’ll work with a single flower so you can notice when a detail changes or disappears.

The practice

You’ll study a painted rose, rebuild its stem, leaves and blossom in your mind, then imagine the petals closing and opening. Finally, you’ll hide the painting and keep the whole flower in mind. The movement happens in your imagination; the painting is there to help you begin.
