The Iliaster Rose is a symbol of the divine spark within each of us. It represents the journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening and the eventual blossoming or growth one experiences when this spark is nurtured. Just as a rose blooms, so too does our inner light. The Iliaster is achieved through nurturing this spark to full enlightenment.
Iliaster is a term coined by Paracelsus referring to the [cosmic] essence. The Iliaster, literally means “the star in man.”
The beautiful rose, like the lotus, represents the unfoldment of the authentic self. It is the blossoming that occurs as one grows, transforms & enlightens.
By cultivating the Iliaster Rose, we can unlock our full potential, live more fulfilling lives, and contribute positively to the world.

Have you given 2024 much thought?
Let's take a moment to reflect on 2024. How did the year unfold? Did you stick with your New Year Resolutions and achieve your goals or face unexpected challenges? What were your biggest highlights and low points?

What does physical activity have to do with self-reflection?
Physical activities can be a useful tool to aid in self-reflection.
Activities like Yoga, Qi-Gong, and Tai Chi are excellent practices that connect you to a "flow state" through a series of slow movements and breathwork, bringing you to a mindful way of being.
Other activities like walking, hiking, and leisurely biking in nature can do the same.
Nature has a way of de-cluttering and calming the mind, leading us to greater self-awareness, clarity, and deeper insights.
When we can achieve clarity, we have access to our truest thoughts and feelings, making self-reflection easier.
Remember, the key to using these activities for self-reflection is to be present and mindful.
