You Are the Master Gardener of Your Mind
I welcome you to come on an intimate journey into the garden of your mind. Step respectfully. It is brewing with life, well developed by parents and generations of ancestors. It appears as a complex jungle of beauty, mystery and burgeoning growth. Unique wonders of color, textures, smells and sounds from eras past abound, blended in the guise of the present.
Breathe deeply. Sense the great varieties of intentions planted here. Potent emotions arise. Strong and twisted old growth proliferate. Delicate exotic plants of unquestioned beliefs, unresolved fears, and habitual self-defeating voices hide in the shadows. You effort to perceive more. Tangled vines of unconscious attitudes, expectations and judgments-gone-wild hold you back, covering and limiting your perceptual landscape. You relax, acknowledging their presence and strong commitments. The vines relax and set you free to explore.
Curiosity is growing, opening your perceptions to more observations. Awareness is heightening. You discern what you have actually been cultivating in this garden of your mind. You see plantings, some with shallow and others with deep roots. You see intricate networks of belief systems, rules, plans and promises made and long forgotten. You find medicinal plants for numbing pain, terror and sadness. Some plants support digestion of new ideas, nourishing the heart and clearing toxins. Others feed anger, rage and shame. Some provide direct doorways to experiencing the Divine within all things.
You take a deep breath and move into the center of the garden. Your heart opens. Compassion flows. Your inner sensitivities are perceiving the living light that is weaving through this extensive family plot. You begin to sense the many caretakers here who are forever committed to keeping their plantings alive. One of these caretakers is you and each caretaker has their sacred role. Each tends diligently to intentions, commitments and agreements made in different times of different needs, all from limited visions of what was once imagined possible.
Your heart light blazes, radiating appreciation for all beings and all commitments held. This loving light is well received. The caregivers transform into flavors of pure Divine Light.
Your heart is your wisdom radar. In your awakening presence you realize your role is the vibrant green thumb of change. You are a masterful gardener, growing higher in clarity and creativity and blessing the Earth and all that has proliferated here. With great respect, you clear the jungle of old growth to feed the new higher ground of conscious well-being. Wisely, you invite enlightening visions of the future to guide you in preparing, planting and cultivating your new garden.
The expanded light of your Ancestors contributes to this grand transmutation. All are inviting and receiving support of the living earth and the loving, cosmic energies as you plant new seeds of what truly nourishes a grand shift in humanity’s mindful presence, creative expression and authentic relations. All are being set free into new territories of awakening consciousness in this magnificent beyond earthly mind garden. You and all humans know and honor their unique role, nourish humanity’s inner and outer garden to deeply shift into living the future, where we all heartfeltly respond to the Earth’s calling, its needs, and our humble reliance on her health and well-being. All breathe more deeply and freely.
