Spirit in Gardening

Musing here about how working in the garden and foraging out in Nature helps me to find Spirit and travel my Sacred Path. The Earth, the plants and the rocks and everything in Nature is, to me, infused with Spirit. Bringing the sacred into the mundane means I engage with Spirit every day rather than saving that connection for an hour on Sunday morning. How do you connect to Spirit?

I hope you all have a lovely week. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment xx

There is a humility in having your own private connection with the Earth. Its like a love story that does not have to be broadcast to prove its existance. Its inner. So much nowdays is outer, puplicized, to prove itself. I also am in love with rocks. They are so old, and powerful in their knowledge. Such a comfort.💜

'You are your own guru' I like that.

[jimmysroom]

You are absolutely your own guru! You do not need someone to tell you what to believe or what you should want or be like. Very Lovely. "If you're doing something from the heart, it's perfect". Just spot on, really needed to hear that today.

Great video! As a former avid Presbyterian church-goer, I’ve been struggling to figure out my new spiritual path. Traditional Christianity no longer fills my spiritual void, and I am much more attracted to a nature-based faith. Your wise words help a lot to make sense of it all, and to reassure me that I’m not doing anything “wrong” as long as I follow my heart, with integrity…. So thank you!

I don't have my own garden yet, but I feel blessed finding wonderful energy in your videos Terri. I start my day watching at least one and they lift me up a lot. Thank you for your work 💚Greetings from Poland 😊

Thanks for the great message. I grew catholic and i went through a similar experience. I am closed to nature and earth energy, even when i don not have a space where i can said is mine. i go to forests nearby and talk to nature, i talk to birds that comes to my neighbor backyard, i observe every single detail on plants, hug trees and try to be connected to nature. That is the way that i find Spirit and my sacred path. I also look for people like you that transport me to nature even when i live in a city. Thanks for taking the time to heal me with your wonderful videos.

In 2021, I found out I was adopted. After believing for 63 years that I was Italian/French, I found out through DNA that my roots are actually Welsh, Irish and Great Britain, surprise! County Galway, in particular~ would explain the red hair in my youth. I'm redefining myself these days. My beliefs haven't really changed, I'm still a tree-hugging nature loving old hippie who lives and loves all things wild. I don't know that I'll ever be able to set foot on native ground, so I will be content to watch videos such as yours, and explore my passion for all things natural, while enjoying virtual tours of the countryside. 😊

Cats curled up fast asleep, dog just checking on them, chickens and dogs just strolling along behind you, so blissful and peaceful, that in itself speaks volumes, all the very best to you all.

Oh Terri, you always speak with truth from your heart and I get to relax so deeply as I listen to your videos.

I hope you are having a beautiful day!

I look forward to meeting you in person, soon.

I feel quite relieved to hear your video today. As a lapsed Anglican, disillusioned with organized religion, I long ago turned to the trees and nature. Here in Canada in BC I walk along the pines and spruce and find evidence of bear, hawk, deer and fallen trees that all become spiritual experience. I no longer feel the niggle of wondering if I am doing it wrong. The trees and the creeks know and they let me know. This is my way now.

[alicejourney]

You are very wise. I enjoy watching and listening to you.

[mommaosachicago]

Thank you for this. I used to be Catholic too. For the last 40 years nature and kindness are my religion.

[OakElvenwy]

I love your philosophy of being your own guru. Nature is a teacher in herself and we all have so much to learn from her.

[lindaedwards]

Hello Terri, I totally agree with you, I'm from a Catholic family, as I became more aware of the Dogma, I wanted to find my own path.I am happily doing so my spirituality is deeply rooted in nature .
I nurture myself when I nurture my garden and the wildlife that shares it with me.
Hugs and blessings to you both.🌹💚

Finally! Someone who knows and believes what I have known and believed all my life

[purpleelephant]

Thank you for saying this. It’s really important for people to hear. Sometimes people can try too hard to fit themselves into a tight little spirituality box. I think it’s much more important to follow your own rambling path and decide what works for you, even if there’s not a name for it. Coming from the heart is the most important thing. By the way all the animals are being particularly cute in this video. X

Could not agree more Terri, trust your own intuition. Blessings.

[vickimitchelle]

I believe you because I feel the same way i love 💕 nature

[sharonammirati]

Terri, I have no words for how your video today touched me. I too have experienced the disillusionment with patriarchal religion after a Catholic upbringing and I always find Solace in the natural world. Even so, I am often fearful and in dispair of the massive distruction of this world particularly by representatives of said patriarchal religions, which seem so lacking in actual spirituality. You are an inspiration and a reminder to keep the faith that nature will prevail, and that I must remain ever hopeful and continue to seek connection. Thank you.
