My beloved Guruji has shared in one of his teachings that when we sit in stillness near a plant, it is the simplest and most profound practice to know our Divine Self.
The more I connect with plants, the more I realize that they are the most highly evolved beings on the Planet.
When I was a little girl, I was fascinated by the huge trees around my family home, I loved to play underneath their shade, and when the wind rustled their leaves, I felt that the tree spoke to me in comforting language. I had a challenging childhood and the trees, the green grass, the spring flowers and the butterflies gave me so much of comfort and companionship.
Many times I dream of trees as beings who play with me and laugh with me, these dreams are so real and vibrant that at times when I am down I remember the trees in my dream and they instantly rejuvenate me. I always love to sit near plants and trees and just be.
I came across people who practice breatharianism ( these are those who do not consume food or water but just live by breathing air and absorbing light for their bodies). It is said that humans have this capacity in them, but because it was not practiced for eons, this lies dormant in us. And when I came across breatharians, it lead me to think about plants and trees. Plants are true breatharians, they live in the light and breath of God! They have highly evolved devices ( chlorophyll) in them to capture the sunlight and process it as food for all creatures on the Planet!
There are so many excellent studies and research done about the miraculous healing effects of chlorophyll for the body.
Plants are givers, they give food, clothing, shelter, medicines, gums, resins, rubber, and the list goes on and on. Every thing of necessity for living on the Planet is given by plants.
They are great Spirits, with their immense compassion have allowed themselves to be cut down, burnt, chopped, walked upon, but still continue to give and give.
They are great healers, their great Spirits communicate with us if we connect with them. I always find that great peace, comfort, and great ideas to solve problems come to me when I am in stillness in a garden around plants or under a tree.
I have a few potted plants in my home, they are lovely companions, they teach me stillness to connect with Spirit. At times when I am busy, suddenly they call my attention and they make me slow down and come back to my awareness and connection with my Divine Self. Having a small garden with a few potted plants is enough to bring peace and joy to the heart. My prayer sanctuary is where my plants are. Having potted plants in the home bring a sweet lively energy, and uplift the energy of the room where it is placed.
When I have potted plants near my bed, I have noticed that I often dream of Nature Spirits and so I definitely know that when we bring plants into the home they not only cleanse and rejuvenate the home but they also bless the home and the people living there!
I have also noticed that they cleanse and diffuse negativity form the home and they bring so much of sweet, comforting, sacred energy to the space they are in. In one of Dolores Cannon's book, " Keepers of the Garden" I read that the Creator beings when they find a Planet that is suitable for life the first creatures that they bring there are Plants. The Plants clean the environment of all toxins and fill the environment with atmosphere suitable for other life forms to live in.
We have a park in my home town in India, and as a little girl when I visited this park, someone had placed a board at the entrance saying " IN THIS PLANET WE ARE GUESTS OF PLANTS". That was a powerful reminder for me and for everyone.
Connecting with trees and plants remind us of unconditional love, compassion and kindness that we are born with. They are great teachers who teach us to respect ourselves, our Divine nature and to respect this Planet our Home.
