The Garden November

From the Seat of the Heart

the heart surrenders everything back to the moment where the mind wants to judge it.  - Ram Dass

Below are our November practices. Try them all on and then build a daily or weekly practice with as many as you like. Some are good to use daily, and some you will only need once or twice—just like a spoonful of medicine.

Keep your heart open, even in these wild times. Tune into your heart before making any decisions, just to feel what it feels like. You are incredible.

Journal Prompts

Tune in right now — how is your heart? What does it feel like? What does it need?

What does your love want you to know?

In what ways can you fiercely embody your open heart? What can you say yes to that is deep within?

Committing to the Heart —

Write a prayer that you repeat into your heart each day.

When making decisions or when you find yourself in a thought loop, let your awareness track back down into your heart space.

From the space of your heart, is there something you want to create or experience? Something big and beautiful. Remember it, keep it with you and we will dive deeper into in the coming months.

Journal Prompts

Check-in on the seeds planted from last month — what needs water? Are there weeds that need to be cleaned out?

Imagine a conversation with nature — what does she have to tell you, what does she want you to know?

Freewrite for a few minutes: I know my natural rhythm because it feels like _______________________.

Presence Practice — Daily Repeat Quickie

Connect with nature daily this month, by going out into nature, caring for a houseplant, or holding a stone or shell. Come to nature each day with appreciation and ask for guidance. See what comes through.

Remember your natural rhythm

Notice when you feel rushed and see if it’s possible to intentionally slow your movements and thoughts.

Can you get the same amount done at a slightly slower pace?

Journal Opportunity

What is present for me right now?

What feeling, belief, or ideal do I want to ground into my being?

What do I want to plant and see grow?

Over the next 3/6 months, what do I want to create or experience? 

Presence Practice — Daily Repeat Quickie

Tune back into your energy for a few seconds or a minute as many times a day as you are able. Find that space in you that feels like a safe landing space, tap in there, and just be with it.

Opportunity to release

Can you identify something in your life that leaves you feeling ungrounded or allows you to leak your energy or seek external answers? Can you gently and lovingly shift your relationship with it this month?

Example: do you like scrolling social media for inspiration but then sometimes leave feeling like you’re not “doing enough?” That is a perfect opportunity to shift your intake of energy. Can you scroll for less time? Or can you notice that full feeling of inspiration and then turn off the device? Can you simply tune into your grounded energy when you notice any feeling of lack?

Start simple and small. That is how we make a safe change that snowballs into major up-levels.
