Unlike a garden designed specifically for healing, meditation or specific spiritual purposes, the garden around a friend’s house we visited this Sunday seems to be without such concepts.
It may not contain a room or enclosure surrounded by an oasis of healing plants, including health-giving fruit and vegetables. Nor is it based on the incorporate aspects of either Zen or Feng Shui as a complete and total design. At least, that’s the narrative of the owner of this house even though he is a person who regularly performs yoga and meditation.
Even though not considering the design of spiritual, sensory, meditation and healing gardens, but this yard help balances the energies and realign the natural flow within our self, that’s what I feel as I sit and relax there. Without special elements and certain forms to support relaxation or meditation, the atmosphere of this garden can provide a sense of calm, relax, peace and good comfort.
What I mean by this writing is that, in order to find or perceive peace, relaxation, or even the depth of meditation, we need not depend on the outside supporting aspects of ourselves, though it does not mean that the various aspects of support are meaningless. The most important aspect actually is releasing awareness of all the physical, mental, and emotional attachments to realize our higher self.
If you curious and eager to participate in this challenge, here are the rules and guidelines to join.
I have a garden house.I mostly like it.
That’s great, Pradhan. Enjoy your relaxing time in your garden house, my friend
It is beautiful. I wouldn’t mind taking my book and sit there and read the whole day.
Bring your book, and I’ll drive you there.
I like it, its so pretty and green. It looks semi tropical too, more love. I don’t meditate but am connected to all nature. I feel at peace and so happy when enjoying the great outdoors.
I know that you are a nature lover who loves to wander in nature, Kim, then you must be connected with all nature.
Wonderful photo, thank you for sharing!!
Thanks, Courtney. This yard is so enjoyable, I just caught the beauty.
This is such a beautiful place! I also think that the first place where we should look for peaceand happiness is inside ourselves, but this place can certainly help the task.
You’re right, Ellie. The place as our main altar to dedicate Love to the Divine is ourselves.
And I believe we can meditate everywhere. This place is beautiful
I agree, Elenka. Thanks for your wise comment, my friend
I’m glad you shared this post!
Thank you very much, Georgi
A beautiful yard and garden. And I agree, we can meditate anywhere if we free our minds. That is always the key.
Thanks a lot, Carol. I know that you understand what I mean, as always.
