Namaste...

Happy Monday!

Just got back from hot yoga class - great way to start the week. Our teacher always says 'Namaste' at the end of each class. It means, literally, I bow to you. It allows people to come together to a place of connection and timelessness, free from the bonds of ego-connection. It is a symbol of gratitude and respect for eachother, thereby allowing the truth to flow - the truth that we are all one when we live from the heart...

Now how do we incorporate those warm thoughts into the garden? It goes back to my belief that we all need a place to go to in the garden to be at one with nature. Maybe it's a meditation garden - doesn't need to be huge, just tucked away somewhere private. You could even consider converting a shed into a sitting room. A shed with windows, glass doors, and a comfortable area to sit inside. I can just picture the doors being wide open, allowing you to sit somewhere and be close with nature. Plantings should ignite all 5 senses... Sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. When you are thinking of planting plans, keep the senses in mind...

Namaste...
