Hello Dharma

 

The best practice in healing I have tried yet , is to watch a flower

grow.

If one may help a flower to grow, just by watching it, being there as there

is nothing else than the sun to open to... One most probably may also heal

others by finding the presence of not being there to manacle them from

growing of there full blown hatching force or something like that.

I still have flashes of what could be the free will of a single flower

growing during a day. It is just fascinating, so infinite, so limitless.

Guess, at one point, the flower comes to heal the healer...

You reminded me of the Findhorn Garden... sending some words from there.

>28 June 1968

>Throughout the garden, we open ourselves and express our gladness that you

>finally include us in this conscious contact - in spite of your difficulty

>with the name we have been given. A long name for a little flower!

> It is indeed a matter of rejoicing that the spirit of a flower

>and the spirit of a human can commune in consciousness, blend and find

>that one is the other, that there is a real fraternity between our outward

>manifestations. Whenever we meet we shall now smile secretly within and

>know without words that there is a bond, that in spite of outward

>differences, we have been brought together. We do not look to the

>differences but to the reality and unity of the life within.

> When you look at us, perhaps you think, "Pretty little flower,

>what brilliance of color!" and revel in the beauty. But now you can see

>all that, with the added knowledge that we are one under the skin, so to

>speak, and you can open all of yourself to us and we to you. Then do your

>radiations on all levels come to us, and we have new worlds on which to

>draw. Then do our nature builders have more bricks with which to build,

>and you have lost nothing, for the more you empty yourself and share, the

>more you receive on all levels.
