Nature's abundance

This wasn’t the jasmine I had imagined when I ordered the seeds, but alas, I am now the lucky owner of numerous jasmine plants, which I’ve managed to plant in the ground having cleared a space. Those of you who come for Reiki treatments will see them lining part of our parking area - I have literally had to use whatever space I can this year, digging up bits of lawn to allow more space to grow!

This is the first flower blossoming yesterday, delighted with the earlier rain showers.

As part of an online Reiki course I worked with crystal grids during lockdown, and I charged a crystal with, amongst other things, abundance. I do feel as if my life is infinitely abundant in many ways, but especially with plants this year.

The medicinal plants I grew last year during our first lockdown are in their element this year, truly vibrant in their moon garden. This year I have sown more seeds and am lucky that a couple of batches of lavender have grown, as it’s not always easy to grow this from seed. I also have an abundance of evening primrose oil, chamomile, thyme, mint, oregano and basil. Unfortunately the sage and rosemary were not as abundant, but this is often the way - these were the ones I really wanted, and so I tend with great care those few plants that have grown.

I didn’t realise when I took possession of the medicinal plant seeds from Earth angel, Fi, last year, quite how much the seeds would change my life. All I really want to do now, aside from exploring stones with the boys, getting in the sea and writing, is being with the plants. They have a consciousness and they communicate. I find being in nature extremely calming and nourishing for the soul. A true tonic.

I really long for us to come back to nature, it’s all we need. There’s a wonderful video that highlights this, you can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvzZ56ZbWy8

Life is infinitely enriched by being in nature, communing with plants and stones, even if people think that makes me very weird! There’s a whole heap of other realms than the mundane 3D we live in most of the time. We just need to get outside and be quiet and let nature reveal more of itself to us, and reveal more of our own nature in the process.

Happy Thursday!
