May + Plant
This Month, as we look to nature we see:
The earth has awakened, the soil has been cleared and prepared for a new growing season.
Trees have grown their leaves back for a new season of growth, shade, and nourishment.
The ocean is warming by the day
It’s the middle of the spring season already!
Where Do you like to Plant… Yourself?
Indoors or Outdoors?
By the Lake or Ocean?
In the Dirt + Grass or On the Rocks?
Near a Waterfall or a Fountain?
This month we will be exploring the places we feel safe to plant ourselves to grow.
Definition of Plant
: to put or set in the ground for growth
: to establish
: to place in or on the ground
: to place firmly or forcibly
: to covertly place for discovery, publication, or dissemination
As gardeners begin to plant their seeds, consider where you plant your feet.
We all understand how essential it is to feel safe in our bodies, in our home, in our community, and in our life.
This midway point of the season is a wonderful opportunity to mindfully look at where you want to establish yourself. After a month of decluttering you can decide with clarity where you want to plant yourself for the rest of the growing season through summer.
The following meditation, journal prompts and creative activity will all guide you to explore this topic from different angles. May it nourish and root you into the truth of who you are.
In this land, in this immaculate field of the body let’s not plant any seed but kindness,
let’s not plant any seed but love.~ Rumi

May CREATIVE ACTIVITY
Plant Something
Food, Herbs, Plant, or Paper
Get those hands in the soil to demonstrate this theme of being planted this month.
You can pick up a houseplant you feel drawn to and repot it in a beautiful pot.
You can plant some herbs or veggies. I remember one year while I was living in an apartment I planted one of those upside down tomato plants that does not require a garden, you hang it outside!
If planting is not your thing, you can handwrite some positive intentions on a piece of paper and plant it into the soil at your local park, a houseplant you have, a friends backyard. You get the idea, have fun with it.
Happy planting, inside out!
