Nurture Your Dreams with Garden Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#44 Garden Medicine – Look beyond fear-based thinking and return to the beauty and nourishment of Mother Earth’s garden. With her help, you can cultivate your ability to plant and grow your dreams that will in turn support the Common Good.
Is your garden positioned properly to be prosperous? Is there something about it that isn’t right or needs to be tended?
Healing Action: Connect with the personal dream that lives in your heart and nourish it with Love and gratitude. Make sure you’re nourishing your own garden and not someone else’s. Live your dream and protect it.
The Sacred Garden
The gifts of Mother Earth are all around us
if only we have eyes to see.
This garden of life has nourished us throughout the ages
with oxygen, nutrients, sacred medicine,
and the sweet dream of how this planet could be.
The Earth’s beauty and life giving richness
has been stamped upon and pompously disregarded by the ego,
because it is afraid.
Afraid to find out that perhaps it isn’t
really all that important.
That perhaps, we might be just fine
if we all gave up trying to control each other and share instead.
Have you forgotten your own garden –
the one that lives in your heart?
It has always been there, waiting for your return
if only you have eyes to see.

Further Exploration into Garden Medicine:
It’s decision time – time to get off the fence. Your ego is filling you with fear, distractions, confusion and double talk. Even worse, it has you focusing on all your problems instead of your blessings. Release your fear by coming back to the simple wisdom of nature – cause and effect, giving and receiving, activity and rest. Each one naturally includes the other.
You may have turned away from your divinity and allowed your ego to call the shots. It’s time to take back your true nature by reclaiming your true hearts desire.
Did you lose heart when you bought into the ego’s idea that “the other man’s grass is always greener”?
To find out, gaze at the Circle and ask: “Am I satisfied with what I’ve got?”
If not, why not? Then ask: “Who told me I couldn’t have my true heart’s desire? Who said I wasn’t good enough?”
Perhaps you’re ready to release your agreement with whoever it was that put restrictions on what you can receive. Even better, release your agreement with dissatisfaction itself!
Accept that when things happen within you, they also happen in the world around you. That means when you come from a place of lack internally, you tend to create more lack externally. Stop putting restrictions on what you can receive.
Your personal dream needs care and nourishment. When you appreciate what you have, you cultivate a mindset of true prosperity that can be built upon without greed or avarice.
You are invited to use this Circle to help you visualize your personal garden where you can rest and nurture your dreams. While you’re there, remember the old adage, “…and as you sow, so shall you reap.”
Look at the Circle and ask your heart, “Am I in my own garden?” If you aren’t, pull yourself back. If you are, look carefully and see if the landscape could use some tending.

Raccoon Medicine
Letting Go of Soul Contracts with Raccoon Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
11. Raccoon Medicine – raccoon is known as a trouble-making pest. However, he made an agreement to show us how to learn from our mistakes and misfortunes. When we acknowledge the garbage we’ve been feeding ourselves, we are free to choose differently.
Are agreements creating conflicts in your life? If so, can you tell what they are?
Healing Action: Access agreements, attitudes and Soul contracts held in the central nervous system. Release or renegotiate those that no longer serve you so you can realign your agreements to support your highest good.
Bandito of the Jungle
Many ages ago, the rainforest raccoon made
a contract with the humans.
He agreed to disguise himself as a
thief and trouble-maker so that
the humans would have someone to blame
for their misfortunes.
He agreed to do this until
the time when humans remember
that their misfortunes
are actually their greatest gifts.
It’s time to release your contract with raccoon
and all those who have
hurt you or caused you sorrow.
Release yourself and make a grand feast
out of the refuse that has, until now,
been disdainfully tossed to the side.

Further Exploration into Raccoon Medicine:
You are blocking your own progress because you keep going back to past grievances and reliving them. Its time to release your attachment to misfortunes by letting go of the agreement to buy into them anymore. Once they’ve been released, look for new freedom and unexpected opportunities, then go for them.
Raccoon wants to remind you that the purpose of agreements is to help you navigate reality, which sometimes seems like nothing but a huge pile of garbage. He says, “Agreements are how we co-create our reality. Why not create common ground for mutual benefit?” He knows that working together effectively requires the agreement to do so. Yet, if common ground cannot be reached, it may be time to let go of the arrangement entirely.
Perhaps pain and suffering is being prolonged because on some level, you are unwilling to learn from your misfortunes and apply the lessons to your everyday behavior. Would the ego prefer to blame others and is more comfortable by keeping you powerless? Let go of your agreement to organize around your wounded identity. There is no freedom in keeping a grievance and playing the victim. When you take ownership of your behavior, your personal power is returned and progressive action is possible once more.
Or
You are being warned to be cautious when making new agreements with other people. Make sure that you’ve done your due diligence and fully understand all implications of the agreement. Make sure the terms are beneficial to you. If they are not, can they be re-negotiated or amended?
Agreements that are made from the ego’s point of view are filled with contradictions, obligation and trickery. Be sure that any agreement you make is something you would joyfully participate in.

River Medicine
Get Calm with River Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
48. River – River Medicine beckons us to calm down and flow with the river of life. When we allow this to happen, we can hear the truth of the heart and Soul more clearly. This provides balance for reactivity and hypersensitivity.
Are your senses out of balance? Are you feeling reactive or hypersensitive? Have you been knocked out of balance by a sudden change or shock?
Healing Action: Relax and adjust the volume on your senses. Get more present. See things as they really are. Clear up wishful thinking. Calm down to reconnect with your Soul and the flow of life around you.
River Sings a Lullaby
Intuition and common sense are determined
by a balance between all of the senses,
both known and unknown.
Let the calm of the river
quiet your body, mind, and Soul.
Breathe deeply and allow homeostasis to occur.

Further Exploration into River Medicine:
River medicine is showing up to let you know that something’s not right with how you’re seeing things and experiencing the flow of life. Are you being driven by unconscious fears or attitudes in the current situation? The noise that comes from a dissatisfied ego could be preventing you from seeing a solution to your dilemma. The best way to change your circumstances is through learning how to respond to them differently. Don’t react; respond by cultivating inner peace and patience with yourself.
One way to do that is to gaze softly at the Circle and imagine that you’re floating on a calm, benevolent body of water. Take the time to breathe deeply. Once you feel calmer, you’re ready to open your senses to new solutions and gifts.
If you lose your bearings, come back to this place of calm and balance yourself again. Doing so will help you to accept the paradoxes in your life so that you can be open to new inspiration.
Or
Elevated emotions are often caused by shocking experiences that knock the senses out of balance. Have you experienced such a jarring event? When that happens, you could get sucked into a panic or overtaken by fantasies and wishful thinking. It’s important for you to calm down and change the flow you’re traveling on before you do some damage. Pull your senses back into “Now” by tuning into your heart and Soul.
If you’re having difficulty making a decision, don’t rush yourself. Breathe. Ask from a quieter place and the answer will more easily be found.
Or
You may be in a situation where it would be beneficial for you to take a chance. Nevertheless, it’s wise to calm yourself first and make sure that you’re perceiving things clearly. Look at the Circle and ask your heart: “Am I seeing things the way they really are?” You may not have a clear perception of where you are or what is truly going on.
Slow down and get back into the flow by asking the calm of the River, “What am I proposing to do?” Then, follow up with, “If I follow the course of that action, what’s most likely to happen?”
Continue your inquiry. “Is that in my best interests? Is there something that would work better?”
Follow the flow of cause and effect. You will find that clear and calm perception significantly enhances your happiness and chances for success.
