Time needed: 5-15 minutes

• What ways/areas are you not operating from an overflow?
• How can you fill up on a desire and reach out for it to hold it before you give?
• What does it feel like to hold a desire in you? Do you feel a need to have it right away? Forget about it if you don’t get it soon? Talk yourself out of it if it doesn’t happen how you feel it should? 
• What would expanding your ability to hold a desire look like? Is there something in your life you can build up anticipation for to practice with?

(P.S. If you’re not a journaler, focus on this while you walk or move somehow today; we want to add body movement or visual elements into your intention setting.)

Time needed: 20-45 minutes

Before you begin, I’d like you to create a voice memo or a 1-5 minute journal session to answer this question: How can I feel worthy of receiving a beautiful life? On a scale of 1-10, am I living in a state of abundance where everything that emanates from me is rooted in abundance rather than fear or lack? Why?

I want you to go find roses, perhaps from your neighbors’ or your mom’s yard. Ideally, it’s best to ask if you can take two dying flowers as well. Please ensure they are pesticide-free; if you’re buying them, double-check. Another option is to post on social media in your neighborhood to find two roses to collect, preferably by plucking them yourself.

Enjoy the process of gathering these delicate petals; perhaps bring your best friend along!

As you pluck them, ideally from the bush, express gratitude to these beautiful blossoms for growing so stunningly. Hold them as if they were the most cherished pieces of artwork ever created.

Place them in your purse or pocket. If little bug buddies join in, consider them more friends – sometimes, friends come along unexpectedly. If you’ve been seeking more companionship to combat loneliness, here you go!

However, we don’t necessarily want to keep all the friends we make, just the ones aligned with us. So, rinse those buddies off in the sink (it’s a metaphor for life, okay!). Pat your petals dry.

Then, request 20 minutes alone time. Turn on the tub or fill a large bowl if you don’t have a tub, and add those petals along with Epsom salt, bath salts, or baking soda.

Put on some music, bring out your journal, light some candles, lock the door – do whatever you need to make this alone time with rose petals feel magical.

Slide into the bath (or just soak your feet if you only have a bowl)!

ENJOY! Play with the petals like you’re a child. Observe where they stick to you. Take some selfies for your future enjoyment or share them with your partner or beloved (who wouldn’t appreciate that?). Heck, send me photos of your adorable toes with roses; I’d love to see them too (always ensure consent, darling).

If you like, try meditating to open up to receiving beautiful messages from this plant. Who said plant medicine had to make you feel queasy or trippy? This is also a form of plant medicine.

Write down your experience or leave yourself a voice memo to reflect on it later.

Before draining your tub or emptying your bowl, ensure you remove all the petals. Ideally, use the rose water to nourish tomato plants or your garden.

How did it feel to pamper yourself with roses?

If you have the time, lay all the petals on your bare skin in the sunshine (in a safe, private place, of course). Or place a petal on your forehead, heart, or elbow as you bask in the sun. You can make this as wild as you want.

When you’re done with your rose petals, either lay them near a tomato plant or garden to return them to the earth, or dry them in the sun for 2-4 days and crush them into tea leaves to drink. Again, use the tea leftovers in the garden or compost.

To conclude your Rose Challenge, take another 1-5 minutes to reanswer the initial questions: How can I feel worthy of receiving a beautiful life? On a scale of 1-10, am I living in a state of abundance, where everything that emanates from me is rooted in abundance rather than fear or lack? Why?

Do you feel like the rose somehow connected with you during this experience?
