What Planting Seeds Reminded Me

I have been nurturing myself back to a healthy and happy state of being over the last five years after a rough and tough period in my life.

I have had to go to the darkest depths to face myself, my patterns, behaviour, health concerns and traumatic events. Energy healing, crystals and talk therapy supported me to navigate this turbulent time.

By navigating the dark times during my own healing, I have been able to forge a path through it all and find my way back to the light at the end of the tunnel. It has taken strength, kindness, compassion, patience and understanding to get to the place where I am now. All I had to do was open up, look inside, do the work and trust that I would bloom and everything would work out.

I also realised that being in and around nature was something I loved and had taken for granted. I have been finding ways to connect more and I began to really listen and pay attention to her wisdom. Reconnecting with nature has taught me so much and I am so grateful.

She reminded me of my resilience, of the belief I carry in my heart, of how much hope and determination I had within and, as a result, I remembered my way of being, my way of thinking and my way of loving. I remembered what joy felt like and how much wonder there is in the world.

When faced with what felt like a gigantic push off my path the last couple of weeks, I went on more walks, sat with the trees and admired the spring growth all around. I made a promise to myself to plant some seeds. Something I hadn't done for five years.

Honestly, I had such a fun couple of hours and in less than a week the seeds began to sprout and, now over a week later, almost all of them have sprouted.

I found joy in this small action and felt so much grounding energy anchor in me. I am nurturing and caring for these delicate seedlings and this symbolises the care and attention that I need to put into myself, as I had been neglecting it.

This small task has brought reflection, clarity and focus and has guided me back to my path of intention.

Sometimes, it's the simplest things that guide us back to ourselves.

With love
