Episode Description
My mother and aunt passed down their love of gardening to me and my sister. In her 90’s, when my aunt no longer had her own house, she would take pleasure in working in her son’s garden. It was a way of connecting with nature, relaxing, and creating beauty. I still plant some of their favorite flowers in my garden to help keep their memories alive. When I am trimming back plants or removing weeds, dead foliage, or withered flowers, I think about the cycles of life and what I need to trim back or remove in my own life. Everything has a time and a season. Removing what is no longer needed makes room for new plants in my garden and new opportunities in my life. Paying attention to what is happening in my garden helps me see more clearly what is happening in my life. Even the plants we choose affect us through the energy of their color and their spiritual meaning. For instance, daylilies carry the energy of impermanence, reminding us to appreciate every moment. Please join us Thursday to discover how mindfulness in the garden can lead to more healing and connectedness in the world.

Learning to see life from a spiritual perspective can change the way we think, which changes everything. As we let go of fear, worry, regret, blame, anger, guilt, resentment, jealousy and shame, we can create the loving, joyful, prosperous, healthy life that we want and deserve.
The best or worst place to live is in our own mind. You will learn how to weed out the negativity and to be grateful and positive in word, thought and deed, resulting in your ever-increasing happiness.
