This coming Sunday I will be taking my gardening talk to a different kind of a walk. .Comes a Hollistivc Fittness retreat at a four star hotel this week end, , I will be reaching out with my ORGANIC AWARENESS to a different level of organic gardening enthusiasts.
Physical Fittness or Exercising our muscles and doing functional movements is not a monopoly to the gym or the olymics neither to the rich or the poor,.I have THE PROOF..
Great Britain has recognized Gardening as sports for all, lately , proving to the world that Gardeners are among the olympic athlets without portfolio offcourse, , Unfortunately they will NOT be competing this coming Clympic games 2012 at the UK for gold medals.!!They will be growing the new found gold:Greens!
No kidding.our competition is not for winning medals???.Sure, not.It is about winning our BIRTH RIGHT FOR HEALTH by going back to Basics:GROWING our own food through farming and gardening or shall we say Gathering ????.
Lately ,I helped coaching a home owner ,who happens to be living in a multi million property-setting and starting up an Organic Vegetable Garden. I noticed that there is a pre-requisit to the gardening proces:We need to open our mind,body and spirit ..first.
I explained :The gardening software does not come naturally with the garden and she has to LEARN the process(Mind) and train her muscles(Body) and get into the Spirit of growing food.Most of us get confused when it comes to the SPIRIT thing.They end up doing the most convenient:Hire a gardener and tell him/her to do the Donkey Work ,offcourse,having set a streaotype of farmers after the migrant farmers image .God forbid , no racial profiling / discremination /slavery practices are intentionally committed!.Mistakes happen , offcourse!
Being spiritual is so hard to understand using our minds.One has to open up the HEART FACULTY/or Chakra to be able to comprehend /connect spiritually with other forms of life:Creator/Holly Spirit /Universe ..or whatever you prefer to name it.Even so ,with a human,plant, or na animal .What comes from the heart ?
Expectations ,intentions,passion, abilities,capabilities,integrity ,honesty , commitments ,prayers are justa few to mention.What makes us fail in making the spiritual connection is one word:LYING -with all our HEART.
We put much faith in lip service and words that change as often as the winds blow or with every single breath or heart beat.We lie to each others and because we get accustomed to negotiating and or lying as far as it is good to make money and business. Gone are our commitments for ethical or moral values.
There is a separation from our INNER BEING as soon as we separate ourselves from the TRUTH , especially when we want to commit into a relationship: Whether with a human,a plant, an animal or a HIGHER SPIRIT/GOD/UNIVERSE.The bibles mentions:TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.FROM WHAT? I guess from :DISEASE,LACK,STRIFE,SLAVERY ,to mention the least!
Ghandi once said: If you want to learn how to have a successful relationship with humans, you need to start to learn the process by getting in touch with plants first.I found out that our relationship with plants is similar to that with the animals and humans :Crush,control,contain.
Guess what happens when we are moody or in a state of hurry :We injur a muscle ,break communication flow ,obliterate trust and jeoperdize a relationship and the whole process . By just flip flopping and changing our commitments , we withdraw natural process of creation and meaningful and fruitful fulfiliment into a state of static FAILURE :decomposing/degeneration /degradinding to our Body/Mind/Spirit.
Stay tuned to Organic Gardening Awareness .Be TRUTHFULL in and to all our relations.Just like the Native American saying goes :Aho -Meta-Quee-Yasin.
