I have a large bush that grows in my front garden and over time it had got too
big to reduce it down so I asked a gardener to cut it and he quoted me £120 !!
I thought that seemed excessive so decided I would cut it down myself.
Once I got going I realised it had grown so much that lots of weeds and
‘stingers’ had grown in, around and within it to the point that it was blocking
out my light but also affecting this plant’s ability to grow.
To cut this down was no mean feat but after a while I started to enjoy it a little
and ‘liberating this bush’ from these weeds felt hugely satisfying.
I suddenly realised this bush was a reflection of my life, if you keep ignoring
the weeds (or in life the negative energy/people) then this negative energy
can grow and affects your own emotional and/or spiritual growth, I literally
‘couldn’t see the wood for the trees’ or in this case ‘the bush from the weeds’.
Finally after 2 attempts and around 4 hours later with scratches on my pale
skin but feeling proud of myself, this bush was reduced to a decent size and I
felt liberated and free, I gave thanks to the bush and the weeds for reminding
me of this lesson, just as in life I would give thanks to the person or situation.
For a long time I’ve noticed how our surroundings can represent area’s of our
lives and I regularly cleanse my home with sage, chanting and the violet flame
to clear the energy but I’d never even thought about my garden before, how
interesting that nature can teach us such deep and profound things.
Some weeks passed and more rain meant this bush grew quickly but
healthily, not jeopardised by these harsh, sharp intertwining weeds, this time it
grew strong and proud, not afraid to reach towards the light as nothing was
holding it down.
So with this in mind be aware of your own surroundings and garden and are
they a reflection of your life, spend some time connecting to the energies or
simply noticing from a different perspective of ‘how does your garden grow’
just like the old nursery rhyme, yes you plant what you sow but also it is vital
to cleanse and clear.
What people or places are holding you back? maybe some are sharp with
their words and actions or make you feel uncomfortable, others are clingy and
tight to the point where you feel unable to breathe, we are not blaming others
as often they are not aware they are doing this, but maybe spend some
reflective time on who is holding you back?
And then cleanse yourself with healing, music, dancing, avoiding or removing
these obstacles so you can stand tall, face the sun and shine your beautiful
light, to truly be yourself…how liberating would that be?
In Love, Light and Angelic Blessings
