Personal Therapeutic Gardening

Welcome to Mind Focused Monday, where I support you in remembering the POWER of a TRULY FOCUSED MIND.

I will also emphasise keywords of guidance, like Creating Mind Space,  as words for you to use either out loud or in your mind's eye, as a guide, a reminder or a mantra in the week ahead.

Just as a garden that has been left unattended becomes an overgrown jungle of a mess, so too does a mind that has been left unattended and running on autopilot.  

The great news is that you can retake control and be Creating Mind Space, by shedding the undergrowth of old unnecessary mental layers. Furthermore, you can be pruning the mind by stopping autopilot, removing negative thoughts, busyness, and distraction that you have built up throughout the chaotic aspects of your life to date.

So, let me support you in clearing unwanted weeds, moss, and nettles from the potentially fertile space known as your mind. 

Then let me support you further by guiding you in clearing the undergrowth before pruning the unnecessary mental layers which block your path. Once removed I can begin supporting you in Creating Mind Space. That is Creating Mind Space which will give you the perfect background upon which you can actually visualise and construct the life of your dreams. Just as a gardener often prepares a new garden by trimming or removing the old foliage, clearing unnecessary debris, levelling the land, irrigating it and preparing the soil, so that the garden will become an oasis and fully bloom.

Just like the gardener,  you need to have created a clear plan and be preparing the fertile land for your new beginning, by being totally focused on what you really want. Remember, the totally focused mind is the ideal mind for letting go of unnecessary layers and for Creating Mind Space.

So the answer is to remove the excess and the excesses, to remove the many layers we have continually overlaid. That’s it. You just remove the excess and your excesses, all the extra identities that no longer serve you, just stripping them away, layer by layer, stripping away all the distractions that you’ve built up during this lifetime, dropping the layers so that you're actively creating mind space.

Then continue until you arrive at the core of your beingness, arriving at your inner mind space. The inner silence of pure beingness, arriving at the centre of you, where nothing and the potential for everything exists. Silence yourself now and begin by gently removing a layer of your choice, the first layer.

Just for fun now while removing your layers and creating mind space, consider how many layers the wise, naked guru in the cave must have removed! That’s right!

Have an amazing week, and remember that as you’re clearing the undergrowth, you’re heading toward this truly focused mind while gradually revealing the masterpiece that is you.

Have an amazing week, while remembering to take breaks you know you deserve, to be creating mind space and I’ll look forward to speaking with you soon.
