Gardening: a metaphor for healing and living

When we garden, we plant seeds or seedlings. We nourish our seeds by planting them in good nutritious soil, watering them as necessary, and making sure they get enough sunlight. Our seeds or seedlings will grow properly if the temperature is right and if we remove any weeds or thorns that threaten the life of our plants.

When we are healing, we plant seed thoughts. Consider that every living organism by nature will flourish to its full potential within the environment it was intended to live. If it exists in a destructive, unnatural environment crippled by disease, it will slowly die. If the disease is eliminated and the living organism is returned to its intended environment it will flourish.

We plant our seed thoughts in good soil by immersing ourselves in them. Think of an actor in a movie or a musician in a concert or a driver in a vehicle. Each one of these individuals has become at one with the character or craft or process that they are engage in.  They have eliminated all of the weeds and thorns that would impede the successful outcome of their chosen fruit. The weeds and thorns are past feelings, past events, conflicting beliefs, and limiting beliefs. Had they not eliminated them, they would have choked the life out of their young plant and it would have borne no fruit.

So when you want to help your body heal, you must provide it with contaminate free living water, clean air, sunlight for vitamin D, and good, whole, nutritious food. You must eliminate all the weeds and thorns that you can find including poisons, pesticides, heavy metals, toxic emotions, and thought viruses.
