Seeds of Intention Meditation Imagine yourself walking out your door tomorrow morning and what you see is a magnificent garden.
See the colors,
The plants,
The pathways.
What does this garden look like?
How's the weather outside?
Notice you have not stepped into your everyday world but into the garden of your soul.
Walk around and see what else is alive in your garden.
Are there things familiar?
Things unfamiliar?
Are there dark places or weeds?
As you walk through your garden,
Find yourself at an empty plot of soil.
See the soil.
It is rich and prepared to grow.
It's the very creativity of life.
Look into your hand and see a seed.
This is a seed of health.
The blessing you give this seed you will plant and it will grow in your life.
Give a blessing to the seed and plant it in the ground.
Look again in your hand and see that there is another seed.
This is a seed of relationship.
The blessing you give this seed you will plant and it will grow in your life.
Give a blessing to this seed and plant it in the ground.
Look into your hand once again.
There is yet another seed.
This seed is a seed of purpose.
The blessing you give this seed you will plant and it will grow in your life.
Plant this seed.
Walk away from the soil and back the way you came.
As you look back,
See the plot of soil where you planted the seeds.
Do you see anything growing?
Some words from Dr.
Ernest Holmes.
Guard well this garden of your mind.
It is God's garden of your soul.
It is your garden of Eden wherein may grow your fondest desires and hopes blossoming into fulfillment.
Or if you permit,
The weeds of destruction,
Fear,
And doubt will choke out the beauty of hope until despair alone remains.
Watch carefully then this garden of your soul.
Plant there only seeds of happiness,
Of joy,
Of peace,
And of goodwill.
It may be necessary to cultivate your garden,
To uproot the weeds and straighten out the rows,
Planting new seeds,
New ideas,
Broader visions,
And deeper realizations of life.
New aspirations must be a conviction of faith,
The beauty of wholeness,
And the quietness of peace.
Watch your garden carefully,
Guarded patiently,
Waiting for a new harvest,
For you shall reap what you have sown.
Plant love in your garden.
Kindness and sympathy flow from the heart of love and human goodness follows divine realization at every turn in life's road.
Kindness and understanding are divine flames lighted from the altar of love upon which burns the light eternal.
Go often into your garden.
Sitting under the tree of life in cool,
Quiet communion,
You will find fresh inspiration.
God himself will go forth anew into creation through you.
You
