The Spiritual Gardener's Handbook by Roger Charles Warren Pdf

The Spiritual Gardener's Handbook uses the garden as a set of visualization tools and techniques for goal-achievement, personal betterment and spiritual development. You will sow seeds of loving words, give them water and sunshine with intentional thoughts and actions, weed out negativity, and then harvest a crop of physical and spiritual abundance. This book is going to teach you one very important concept that will change your life: What you cultivate in your heart determines what you experience, and with the right seeds, you can harvest a physical, emotional and spiritual heaven on earth. The techniques are simple and easy to remember, but they employ deep universal principles which will feel so natural, they will easily become part of your daily routine. Nurturing a Spiritual Garden will bring a blissful, joyous essence into your regular practices, with a grounding and foundational effect. This life is of your making. You have created it. It has been grown from the seeds that you have sown. You do have a choice. You can make a difference. You can change this life permanently for the better. When weeds of negativity take root in your heart, the good things in your life diminish. And likewise, when you plant seeds of joy and prosperity in your heart, these things manifest themselves in your "real" life, and in the lives of those around you. Wouldn't it be wonderful if, by cultivating this garden in your heart, you could create the profound spiritual experience felt by those in the direct presence of Jesus, or Buddha, or Mohammad or Lao Tzu? You can! When you plant a garden, you are creating a sacred place in the earth. And so, when you cultivate the garden within your heart, you are creating a place for God to always occupy within the core of your being. Cultivating a Spiritual Garden in your heart literally takes you to the roots of human happiness and fulfillment. This book will show you how.

The Spirituality of Gardening by Donna Sinclair Pdf

This is a celebration of the beauty of our gardens and of the deep lessons and meanings they whisper to us as we spend time with them. For Sinclair, gardening is about much more than planting bulbs and thinning perennials; it is about more than weeding beds and maintaining walkways, more than sculpting shrubs and trimming trees -- though it can involve all of these things. Gardening is a deeply spiritual experience and practice. Like all spiritual practice, it is ultimately about connection. It is about balance and harmony, about memory and hope, about healing and acceptance, and even, in this increasingly paved-over world, about revolution. Lavishly illustrated with stunning, full-colour photographs, Sinclair's expansive and beautifully crafted vision honours the blessings of sunlight, earth, water and air found in our own gardens, and, in so doing, awakens us to a deep love and compassion for planet earth, the original garden paradise -- a precious gift from the source of all love and beauty.

The Jewish Gardening Cookbook by Michael Brown Pdf

A down-to-earth approach to spirituality that links your garden with biblical tradition. “Perhaps you’re asking, ‘What is a “Jewish garden”?’ Though it is essentially a collection of plants, it’s really more than that. You don’t just grow plants in a Jewish garden; you incorporate them into your life. Some will help transport you to different times and places; others will provide your senses with aromas, tastes, and beauty. All will help you experience a more personal attachment to God and to Judaism.” —from the Introduction This guide shows how your gardening can sustain your spirit in new ways, whether you grow one fig tree on an apartment terrace, or five acres of wheat in the country. It may also help you realize, as never before, that for each fruit and vegetable associated with every holiday, there is a profound and sustaining reason. To ancient Jews, figs symbolized prosperity, grapes signified fertility, and olives represented the renewal of life. Barley was the chief cooking staple, and dates were a honey substitute. The Jewish Gardening Cookbook gives clear and easy-to-follow instructions on how these foods—and more—can be grown and used for holidays, festivals, and life cycle events. For example, following the cycle of the Jewish year, it explains how to grow apples to bake in apple-raisin-nut cake at Rosh Hashanah, potatoes for latkes at Hanukkah, and ways to maximize use of your zucchini crop with zucchini nut bread at Purim. The Jewish Gardening Cookbook provides tasty vegetarian recipes so that what you grow can be enjoyed during holiday meals, bringing our biblical past into our lives as people who have a profound relationship with the Land of Israel.

Sacred Soil: A Gardener's Book of Reflection by Melina Rudman Pdf

Gardening is an instrument of grace. -May Sarton In these fifteen intimate essays, Melina Rudman explores the pain of loss and the joy of connection, all within the context of her garden. She writes of gardening as a spiritual practice, one that has the power to ground us in the seasons and cycles of Nature. Gardening, she says, plants us firmly in the circle of birth, life, and death, "smack dab in the middle of life's gore and glory." While gardening focuses on the world of touch and sight and scent, it also opens doors to deeper realities. It teaches us resilience; it shows us how to let go; it comforts our aching hearts; it leads us to repentance-and it offers us a conduit to the Divine. Spirit, I give thanks that I am held in a great web of Being, where the energy of earth and memory, tree and thought, flower and emotion, are all knit together into You.
