Everything is energy, including thoughts. Because there is no time, no space, every thing that ever happened, every thought that ever was thought, is here now. That means everything we need to know—can know—is available to us in the form of energy.
The question is: how do we tap into this energy for information we seek?
Basically, we ask.
Imagine talking on your phone. You’re sending information. Information is delivered to you. It’s in the form of energy. You don’t know how it works. You just know you’re talking with your friend.
Now, is it possible you could exchange information with your friend without using a phone? Probably, but hold that thought for now. At any rate, the phone is pretty helpful in making the information accessible. It turns a bunch of something-we-can’t-see into the voice of your friend. That’s the kind of help we need in accessing the information-in-energy we’re seeking.
I use a simple pendulum. I’ve also worked with a German dowsing tool and kinesiology. Through the ages, seekers have developed very interesting, very creative, and very effective methods for knowing the truth.
The idea is to delve deeper into your connection with Nature. This may include the use of dowsing and other tools to enhance your connection and support your gardening experiments. It also means exploring the lost art of asking right questions.
When I was a professional landscaper, I figured out it’s a lot easier to work with Nature than against Her. That seems pretty obvious, but it’s highly counter-intuitive in a field like landscaping, where the apparent goal is to shape Nature into exactly what the customer wants it to be.
Your relationship with plants is sacred—so is mine. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have connected on this page. Somehow, pruning and fertilizing, weeding and mowing, don’t seem to exactly fulfill the nature of the sacred relationship with plants we desire.
The thing is, plants want to be healed. Nature wants to cooperate. The knowledge and information is “out there.” It’s up to us to listen and follow!
So, how can we Be with plants in a way that manifests the deep connection we feel between us?
While I was landscaping professionally, I read Paul Hawken’s book about the Findhorn community. It opened my eyes to a whole new way of seeing gardening. By this time I was already defining landscaping as “three-dimensional living art.” At Findhorn, community leaders tapped into Source to guide their art.
After reading Machaelle Small Wright’s book about Perelandra, I realized there’s just too much writing and evidence about Nature Spirits to ignore or write off their existence.
When I moved to Gilbert, Arizona, I left behind my personal ½-acre botanical garden, which I had been working in and on for more than twenty years, and started over with a clean slate in a tract subdivision. I decided to ask the Nature Spirits for help.
In less than four years, I find myself once again living in a botanical garden – one of peace and joy. This time, I’m amazed at how little time, energy, and money went into it—remember, I used to do this work professionally, so I’ve done more than a few designs and more than a few estimates.
This time, I simply follow the guidance of the Nature Spirits. And that includes healing.
