Woke Gardener
What is woke? Is it like being in The Matrix? Do you swallow a blue pill or a red pill and either remain ignorant or suddenly understand the truth? Kind of. But we can learn how to tap into our truth without the pills.
Woke is the sudden knowledge of the physical and metaphysical world and how it applies to the truth about yourself and the universe – a mindful awareness of what is. It’s about connecting to universal truths, your true purpose, your inner wisdom, and the divine power within you.
Getting woke in the garden is especially sweet. We can tend to plants and nurture them as we nurture ourselves. Gardening brings us into the present moment where we actually live our lives. Life only takes place in the present moment, not yesterday or tomorrow.
Meditation in the garden, whether tending to plants, sitting in silence, practicing yoga or qigong, or engaging in a mindful breathing practice is an exercise in self-discovery. It opens the door to your superpowers – becoming woke. In other words, you are awake to what is in and around you in this very moment through non-judgmental awareness and connection to self. You realize in this moment that you are alive and not alone. You are connected to the divine universe.
