NOTE: this audio was made in 2021, so still touches on the pandemic experience.
How are you tending to your soul’s garden?
This audio is 26 minutes and is multi-thematic. The first part is a brief check in opportunity about the impact of the pandemic on our lives. Feel free to drop a note below letting me know how you are--how are you feeling, how are you doing, what is your life like? The second part is about tending to your "soul's garden" (additional notes about this below)--kind of a mini-meditation moment. After this meditation is a good stopping point (about 12 minutes in), or you can go on and listen to me muse about current books I'm reading and current things I've been listening to.
Notes about Soul Gardens!
I found a little book at a thrift shop last week called “The Woman’s Book of Soul” which is a page a day meditation book. In one of the early pages I loved this quote/concept and it inspired this month's audio:
“Taking little soul seconds—one small prayer, a few-minute meditation, a short burst of gratitude—helps immeasurably to revive our thirsty spirits. We don’t have to join a convent or live in a cave to attend to our souls, although I admit that it sounds appealing sometimes. Luckily, our souls flower and grow when nurtured with consistent rays of attention interspersed among the busy hours of our days.”
--Sue Patton Thoele, The Woman’s Book of Soul
Affirmation: “I pay attention to the needs of my spirit. I make time to quench my soul’s thirst.”
