Rose was making her way to me for a long period of time - showing up synchronistically and being gifted to me by people in my life in different forms. The call continued to get louder and louder until I came to discover I could conduct my own dieta and choose to immerse myself into a wonderful learning experience with this beautiful plant. At the time of entering into my dieta my intention was "Unconditional Love." My intention of unconditional love was to integrate this and understand it to a much deeper level in my mind, body and spirit.

Rose is a heart healer and a heart-opener and upon opening my dieta and taking part in it I received and continue to receive so much more than I anticipated or could even have expected from this medicine. For me personally I initially felt Rose working energetically in my root, sacral, solar plexus and throat chakra. When it came to my heart I felt Rose working through my brain first - cleaning up my neural pathways and unhealthy thought patterns and loops that were not in alignment with unconditional love, for example: not trusting the world around me and specifically men, resisting my intuition and seeing my value, etc. From there the journey went deeper into awareness of old stored emotions in the body that I was prompted to release to create space for more love. I have included the embodiment practices I personally used in this journey, and continue to use in my life on a regular basis to clear stored trauma from the body.

Rose showed me the way of forgiveness. There were actually numerous opportunities to create spaciousness through forgiveness in this experience as I didn't even know I was holding resentment towards some aspects, people or myself from the past, until Rose made is very clear for me. It was gentle, it was graceful and I feel more radiant than ever having released all of the stagnancy from my past!

In addition to emotional release there was an incredible amount of supportive awareness around how to love myself more and show myself more compassion. It is in these personal awarenesses that I have also created the space and potential to deepen my love for others and be of greater service to this world.
