Blooms of Confidence

To develop your full power you must have confidence in who you are. You must learn to care for your body and spirit, to treat yourself with love, gentleness, and respect.
You Will Need:
1. A bowl of water
2. A flower (preferably a lilac but any flower you feel a connection with will do)
Place the bowl of water in front of you. Breathe deeply and slowly; feel your body relax. Chant with confidence
“I know who I am
I know what I can become
I love who I am
I respect my true self
I control what I can
I am not controlled by others”
Offer yourself words of encouragement. Speak to yourself in a positive and loving way. Think of things you have accomplished and give yourself credit for what you have achieved. Do not sell yourself short; recognise you strengths and power.
Dip the bloom of the flower into the water and touch it to your forehead, saying
“May all the things I think …”
Dip the bloom in the water and touch it to your heart, saying
“… and all the thing I believe …”
Dip the bloom into the water and touch it to the plam of your left hand, saying
“… and all the things I hold …”
Dip the bloom into the water and touch it to the back of your right hand, saying
“… and all the things I do reflect my confidence in me.”
Let the bloom float on the water as you reflect on your strengths until you feel your confidence bloom.
