Cultivate Your Dreams with Garden Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest
#44 Garden Medicine – The beauty of Mother Earth inspires and nourishes your heart. Cultivate your personal garden and grow dreams that will, in turn, support the Common Good.
Are you in your garden or someone else’s?
Is it positioned properly to be prosperous?
Is there something about it that isn’t right or needs to be tended?
Healing Action: Tend to the personal dream that lives in your heart by nourishing it with Love and gratitude. Live your own dream and protect it well.
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 heart’s 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?”
It’s time to take back your true nature by reclaiming your true heart’s desire. 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 can also happen in the world around you. That means if you come from a place of lack internally, you will tend to create more lack externally. Stop putting restrictions on what you can receive and allow natural abundance.
Your personal dream needs care and nourishment. When you appreciate what you have, you cultivate a mindset of true prosperity that can grow naturally 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.

Otter Medicine
Having Fun with Otter Medicine ~
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
14. Otter Medicine – the river otter embodies the spirit of playful, good-natured fun and helps us set our sights on having some. Remembering to have fun is good advice to take seriously.
Are you working too hard?
If so, what would help you have more fun?
Healing Action: Refocus your energy on having fun. Be more playful. Smile, laugh, enjoy a joke!
Otter Fun
What could be more playful than the Otter?
He splashes and dives through the water as if everything is fine.
Not a care in the world!
If you think this is foolish, think again.
Because whatever you think about you create more of.
So, which would you rather do?
Create drudgery, obligation and work
or
fun, relaxation and your heart’s desire?
If you don’t have enough fun, let Otter show you how.
If it’s hard to let go, let him give you a push.
If you don’t know what your heart’s desire is,
it’s time for an adventure.
Dive in.

Further Exploration into Otter Medicine:
It’s time to have some fun. You’re taking things much too seriously. Have you thought about expressing yourself artistically? Dance, sing, have fun! Do this and you will have the power to inspire others to do the same.
Developing a sense of humor will serve to lighten up the situation and your attitude. Calm down and recognize the truth about what’s going on. Things are not as bad as they seem. Most fun comes from doing things just for the sheer pleasure of doing them anyway. Take away the pressure, the have to’s, the should haves and second guessing.
Let Otter give you a quick lesson in reciprocity. Gaze into the Circle and imagine him smiling back at you.
1) Use the Circle to gather up your energy.
2) Place the objective of “having fun” in the center of the Circle like a bull’s eye. Focus your attention and intention on actualizing your objective.
3) Next, send your energy directly to it – like throwing a ball.
4) Allow the energy of your intention to come back to you and keep that going for several cycles. Repeat the affirmation: “I am invested in my own wellbeing,” and keep playing!
Humor is most skillfully used when it calls attention to the misuse of creative power. You may have an opportunity to do so at this time. If you are unsure where the misuse is taking place, look into the Circle and ask your heart, “Am I fooling myself in this situation?” If the answer is yes, ask to be let in on the joke.
If the answer is “no” ask for other Circles (#1 – 58) in this collection to give you a better idea of what the misuse of creativity is. When you’re willing to learn how to roll with the punches, even have fun with them, you can regain your balance quickly in both good times and bad.

Raccoon Medicine
Release & Re-negotiate Soul Contracts with Raccoon Medicine
Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
11. Raccoon Medicine –Raccoon made an agreement to show us how to learn from our mistakes and misfortunes. By acknowledging the garbage we’ve been feeding ourselves, we become free to choose differently.
Are agreements creating conflicts in your life?
If so, can you tell what they are?
Healing Action: Release or re-negotiate agreements or Soul contracts that no longer serve you.Make new agreements that will support your highest good.
Bandito of the Jungle
Many ages ago, the 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. When they show up, go for them.
Or
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. Perhaps the ego would prefer to blame others and is more comfortable by keeping you powerless. 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.
Or
The purpose of agreements is to help us navigate reality and Raccoon knows that sometimes everything seems like nothing but a huge pile of garbage. He says, “I like garbage and you do not. How about if we work on this problem together?” Here are his tips for working agreements: - Working together effectively requires an agreement to do so.
- The original agreement or Soul Contract naturally has the most potent energy and effect.
- Participants in a working agreement don’t have to have the same point of view, however, having the same or similar goal is required for a successful working arrangement.
- Sometimes the goals of individuals within a group get out of alignment. When that happens, goals need to be re-aligned by re-negotiating them.
- If common ground cannot be reached, it may be time to let go of the arrangement entirely.

River Medicine
Adjust the Volume On Your Senses 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 experience, we can hear the truth of the heart and Soul more clearly.
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 calm. Clear up distortions or wishful thinking to help you reconnect with 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? Are you spending too much time with technology?
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. Learning to do so regularly will help you to accept the paradoxes in your life so that you can be more open to common sense and 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 breath and heart beat.
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.
