Garden of Miracles

 Visualization is an amazing tool. It is the blueprint for your garden. Without it you cannot know whether to plant vegetables, flowers or trees. You would just be looking at a patch of dirt of possibility. Visualization is what  begins the process. 

It is not ony the act of planning the garden, but of buying the seed as well. But it is only through our conscious gardening that the seed can grow. If we do not add water or fertilizer, we are just hoping that the elements will do their thing and, magically, a garden will spring up from the dirt.  Generally , this is not the case. The best gardens come from not only planning, but careful tending as well. 

It is not enough to know what you want, you must take steps toward your goal. It might be as simple as a little practice. Singing in the shower, dancing in your living room, writing a paragraph a day, walking down the street, just something. Then you can begin to see how the garden is growing. 

You might decide to change the arrangement of plants. Add more fertilizer to some, less to others. Weed daily, and always water. 

That little bit of action starts the growth process on all levels. You don't have to take giant steps and change your life all at once. Baby steps are often the way to see what you really want and start manifesting it. 

So think of your life as a garden. What do you want growing in abundance? What do you want to use as a border? Do you want a garden that creates edible food, or just one that is pretty to look at? 

Make a decision  of what you want, right here and now. Take a step in that direction, even if it is only for yourself.  Then, watch what blooms in response to your action. If you like it, keep going, if not, then pull it out and plant something else. Just don't neglect the garden and expect it to produce miracles. Miracles can happen by chance, but not often. True miracles happen most often when we use our minds, hearts and hands in concert, and for those who have discovered this magic, they happen every day.

Jinnzania's side notes:

I don't usually write when I've had a full glass of Schnapps, but when inspiration strikes, you have to go with it, dizziness, typos and all. Not something I even care to repeat, but sometimes we have to have an experience to decide if we like it or not. Experience is what life is about and it helps to be willing to make mistakes. Taking actions, however small, can get the energy moving in the right direction. Then, like in any good science experiment or learning experience, you look at the results,evaluate and repeat if you like what is going on. "Wrong" is only a judgement, and you will always be "wrong", if you never try.
