I still use this method today.
Your brother is a deeply troubled man, and his mean behavior has to do with him, not you. I repeat, his awful behavior is all about him. He's just projecting it out onto you. Allow the rose to absorb it.
Another similar method I learned at the same workshop is hold or place an imaginary rose out in front of you. Imagine all his negative energy going into the rose instead of you. Afterwards imagine throwing that rose into the air and watching it blow up into a million transformed pieces and flowing down into blessings on you.
If a grey rock or rose isn't to your taste, you could try a lotus flower or chrysanthemum.

OMG, you are a lifesaver. I was struggling with the thought of turning into a big cold grey rock. As you can tell, I’m in hell right now. There isn’t much that is beautiful surrounding me. So the visual of me turning into a rock was such a downer. Your flower visual sounds so amazing. I will definitely use this method. I will use the lotus as my flower. I found this on google for the lotus flower.
Purity, The lotus flower can rise from muddy water without getting stained, representing the ability to maintain integrity and ideals in the face of adversity.
Rebirth,
The lotus flower's cyclical nature, from bud to bloom to retreat, symbolizes rebirth and renewal.
Transcendence,
The lotus flower blooms from the underworld into the light, representing the transcending of man's spirit over worldly matter.
Thank you so much. Thanks for taking time to help people in need. It’s means so much to me. It took a lot of courage for me to express my feeling to strangers online. But, I wished I knew sooner, seeing how kind and helpful everyone is. I was afraid people would judge me, because my life is screwed up. But, it’s quite the opposite. Everyone has been thoughtful and insightful. I’m grateful God bless you. 🙏🏼🩵
