Rose Cross meditation

Rose Cross with 7 red roses

The Rose Cross mediation serves to train the perceptive soul organs, which allow a conscious imaginative view into the spiritual world. To do this, the person has to train his soul powers by placing a certain image in the centre of his consciousness as concretely and vividly as possible and holding it there for as long as possible so that it is not disturbed by other thoughts, but is accompanied by very specific sensations. In the case of the Rose Cross meditation, this is the image of the Rose Cross, a cross made of black, dead wood, from which seven red roses blossom.
