Reflections: Pruning
Recently I've been doing some pruning to tidy up our garden for the autumn. As I worked I cleared areas that had become overgrown and was amazed at how much had been hidden gradually without me realising it.
For example we have a beautiful stone wall at either side of our gate across the drive. this had been completely covered by ivy and other greenery. Not only was I exposing a beautiful structure, I was also pruning back the bushes and plants so that they might grow more strongly next spring.
The dictonary defines 'to prune' as:
to cut off branches from a tree, bush or plant, especially so that it will grow better in future
I reflected on where aspects of my life might benefit from pruning. Would some things I am trying to do benefit and grow better if I remove unnecessary activities? Can I reduce the overload I often feel by removing some things? Would I reveal some hidden treasures, in my life or in myself, if I pruned back and simplified?
You: may find it illuminating to reflect in your journal or meditations on how you could prune parts of your daily activity so that your life will grow better in future.

Daring to Blossom
Workshop Saturday 20 October
2012:
A Time for Reflection and Renewal
I am delighted to say that this workshop on 20 October is definitely going ahead, and there are still some places left, so do get in touch soon if you would like to be there too.
This workshop will be an opportunity for you to take a day out from your busy life to review and reflect and choose, if you so wish, some actions that will move you on towards being more of the person you already truly are. Another step on your life's journey of personal growth and spiritual awakening.
We will share meditations, activities, talk and laughter. We will take the opportunity to spend time outdoors in the wonderful Pine Lodge Gardens - whatever the weather! (Bring appropriate shoes, coats etc)
