Episode 3: Creating and Maintaining Your Sacred Garden


Episode 3: Creating and Maintaining Your Sacred Garden


In today's episode, I talk about our Sacred Garden, an inner sanctuary that we can create for ourselves. Hank Wesselman has a lovely book, The Journey to the Sacred Garden: A Guide to Traveling in the Spiritual Realms. Wesselman describes four rules that our gardens operate from:

1. Everything in the garden is symbolic of some aspect of ourselves or our life experience.

2. Everything in the garden can be communicated with, enhancing understanding.

3. The garden can be changed by doing work.

4. When you change your garden, some part of you or your life will change in response.

I talk about how my Sacred Garden has evolved over time and experiences that two of my students have had with their gardens.

At the end of the episode, settle in for a guided meditation to your own Sacred Garden.
