What’s the secret to growth? Well, it’s very similar to how you tend your garden.
Sometimes it seems that we have to be very good at the waiting game when it comes to healing.
It can be frustrating at times doing your Healing codes and not be seeing the results you want right away, so we keep digging to see if anything is happening yet.
I don’t think you would be digging in your garden every day, just to see if the seeds you planted a week before where sprouting yet, right?
If you did that, even if they had started sprouting, you would rip their tender new roots right out! They would never continue on to become the beautiful, lush plant, that you originally imagined them to become.
You planted those seeds without even thinking about that. You dug a little hole, dropped the seeds in, every day you would water or fertilize them and maybe you’d do some careful weeding as the days went on.
Some plants take months to mature and some take years!
Take the Bamboo Tree for instance
Zig Ziglar tells his story of patience and how healing is similar to the growth of the Chinese Bamboo Tree. When these particular seeds are planted there isn’t much sign of growth, it seems like forever!
None… Nada… Zip…

The Farmer has to wait FIVE years to see anything! Can you imagine the Patience and TRUST that would take?
Then like a miracle, SHAZAM!! It sprouts! ANNDDDD it continues on and grows a HUGE amount, something like eighty feet in just six weeks!
What happened?
Do you think the farmers were doing some serious naked ritual dancing to get the amazing tree to grow? Probably not.
They just trusted and KNEW that the tree they planted, if tended properly would mature and grow to it’s fullest potential.
It took that long for that plant to work underground, growing its powerful root system. It spent those years building its own incredibly strong foundation so it could withstand almost anything once it broke ground.
I invite you to look at your healing in this same way.
Every time you do a Healing Code you are tending the seeds you have planted. It may take some time to even begin to see anything.
This is the time to release it and go about your days finding the things that inspire you and give you hope.
Don’t keep checking to see if your healing is taking root. After all, you don’t want to dig up those tender roots that are working so hard in your life to make the best foundation you could possibly ask for, right?
It’s your job to sit back and EXPECT your work to sprout in its own time.

By doing this you are Allowing it to happen. Getting out of your own way and just expecting your good to manifest in its own timing.
So have you done your planting today? Have you tended to your garden without disrupting it?
Every time you do anything that is relaxing and enjoying your life to the max, you are Allowing the fruit of your labor to gently grow from that love you are pouring over it.
Today I would like you to spend some time doing something that fulfills you in a positive way.
- If you are artistic, have you gotten your medium of choice out lately?
- Maybe you like to hike or take long walks.
- Have you spent time reading a good book or watching a comedy that lifted your spirits?

Don’t you just LOVE gardens?
Great analogy Melissa! In our hurry up society the expectation of immediate results can actual hold back the growth and change we desire. Giving ourselves the space and nurturing we do our gardens is a great reminder on how to be gentle during those tender times of growth without appearances.
Thanks Lorraine,
Yes I agree. I think we have become conditioned to quick fixes and unfortunately those don’t usual go deep or hold for long. We really need to care enough about ourselves to give it the time we need, whatever that may be. Thanks so much for visiting! Always great to hear from you! Have a great weekend!
I love gardens and I love your perspective about healing. Yes, I sometimes forget healing takes it’s own time, everything has it’s own cycle, just as in nature… This was a good reminder. Thank you!
You are welcome Andrea! Thanks so much for stopping by! Always good to see people on the same path. Have a great weekend.
It’s amazing, isn’t it, Melissa? It’s so easy to think we’re not getting anywhere – that we’re going around and around in circles without making any progress forward at all.
But then something will happen, and just because, we’ll look back behind us… and realise that we’ve actually been growing and moving forward the whole time. We just couldn’t see it from the inside.
I wish I could remember this more often!
Blessings and thanks for a wonderful post.

Yes Tanja,
It’s so easy to not see the growth when we are so close to it. It reminds me of seeing other people’s kids after a period of time and noticing how much they’ve grown. While my own kids are the same age and it isn’t shocking at all to see how they’ve grown, in fact I hardly notice it because I see them every day.
We may not SEE the change in the moment, but like you said looking back over the whole journey…MAN, what a trip! And soooo much change.
Thanks so much for visiting!
I don’t check to see if my healing is taking root inside myself at all, because I don’t see it. Luckily for me, my life is full of people who see it in me, and tell me about it, and celebrate the changes. Now I have some ownership, now I can see how much I’ve changed, and yet without the loving reflections from my friends and colleagues, I would still be walking around believing how messed up I am.
Humor is such a good one! When I have a hard day, I get in bed with my iPad and watch blooper reels on YouTube. Foolproof. Belly laughs before bed.
Love this, thank you!

Hi Sue!
How blessed you are to have positive people in your life to reinforce your growth! Sometimes in so much of life, we can be to close to see what needs to change, as well as see the wonderful changes that have already happened.
I love comedy as well. Nothing can raise you up faster than laughter and gratitude! I love feeling that smile or hearing that laugh when I am by myself! So much fun!
You sound like an absolutely beautiful person and the people in your life are lucky to have you! Thanks for visiting!!
patience is definitely a virtue and you have explained it so well. This is something I work on each and every day.
hmmmm may be one day I will “get it” at a cellular level? Will that be tomorrow (hehehehe) 🙂
Infinite Love as Oneness
Thanks for visiting!
Yes I think most of us have to continually work on this one. It does get easier over time though, thankfully!
Those cells of yours are already working on releasing at the cellular level so you are doing great where you are at, right now 😉
I see you have a new iTunes app out! Very cool! I’ll have to check it out!
Have a great week!
