Gentle Gardener
Today, we are greeted by the energies of the Gentle Gardener. You might think of this as part of Spirit that includes your soul and Higher Self, which are always looking after you and helping to nurture and foster your growth.
The message of this card is: “Be your own person. Be a conscious co-creator.” This is yet another message in the theme from Spirit this week asking us to go within and become our authentic selves so that we can become the active, divine co-creator that we already are.
When Spirit repeats messages like this, it becomes more than a nudge; it is drawing our attention so that we may dig in deeper and prepare. This is very important at this time for the upcoming eclipses in March will shoot us forward into the year with warp speed.
The additional message of this card comes with the number 2, which represents divine partnership. This is a further reminder that we are not alone and that we are always supported and held. Part of embodying our light bodies into physicality is stepping further into this divine partnership with everything. This is part of the integration and incubation process that we are all in at this time.
Thus, again, we have the reminder that our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs create the reality that we experience. Our reality is not dependent upon any other’s reality and we are encouraged to allow others to create their own while we create ours. As you bring your conscious awareness to your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, the Gentle Gardner will assist you in bringing forth from the void/vortex a reflection of those thoughts, feelings, and beliefs into physical form. This is happening more quickly than ever and, with each experience, we are in a continual state of refinement of our frequency and what we wish to create.
The power is within you and all around you. It is responding directly to you. This is not something that must be done perfectly. There will be clues guiding you forward and, remember, you can shift and create something new at any time - and such shifts become easier with practice.
Take the time to connect with your heart space and guidance team today. Breathe into your heart and connect with your Higher Self. Ask your Higher Self and guidance team to reveal to you what you need to know about your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Ask your team to assist you in becoming more aware of what these are and the resultant frequency you are emitting. Then, open and observe what your world reflects back to you.
Take the time to also contemplate what your thoughts are - what your thoughts are about. What is the nature and quality of the thoughts that run through your mind?
Is your mind quiet? What can you do to bring more silence and stillness into your life - whether that is through active or passive activities?
Is your mind constantly running a tape in the background? If so, engage with it and “listen” to what is being said. Is this something you believe? Is it something you picked up from someone else?
As you go through your day and observe yourself, do you find you harbor judgment, anger, resentment? Do you have negative thoughts coming forward? Do you have selfish motives in what you are doing? Do you find that these are affirming a mentality of lack and/or limitation?
As you observe your thoughts and dreams, do you undercut those dreams by feelings of lack or unworthiness? Ask your guides and Higher Self to reveal to you where you are choking off the growth of your garden by means of these negative thoughts, feelings, and beliefs? Are you willing to release these? Are you willing to forgive self or other? Are you willing to look at how these beliefs have served you? Are you willing to have gratitude for the challenges and experiences you have had?
It can be rather challenging to review and observe our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs authentically because the ego is ready to give us a rational reason (or many) for why we think, feel, believe in these ways. This practice requires radical honesty and consistency. When we are willing to do this, however, we find that our gardens are full of beauty, even in the places that we thought were barren. Indeed, there is abundance all around us.
This awareness further assists us in maintaining positive expectations and feeling more safe. We then are able to trust more and maintain our balance, which allows us to not only believe that everything is possible, but also to allow limitlessness and beauty to unfold in our lives.
As one of my favorite astrologers likes to say, “have at it!”
