GARDENING AND THE HUMAN AURA
The moment you plunge your fingers into the soil, an earthy buzz of rich, chocolate brown energy runs through your aura from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. The colour is so glossy and rich, it looks good enough to eat. Instantly, you, the gardener, is connected to the wonders of Mother Nature.
In the 1950’s and early 1960’s, I was totally intrigued by nature. The insects, animals, plants and soil. I would fill a bucket half with soil, then add crumbled dried leaves, some dry chicken manure and a little water. I’d mix it up and then stand back to study the aura pattern of the mix. I was quick to notice any aura colour imbalance. That being too much of any one ingredient. Little did I know that this small experiment was to support and lead me into my organic gardening journey into the future.
THE GARDENER
The human aura is renewed and refreshed in a garden. Even if the job is arduous and tedious. Mother nature weaves her connective-wonder into a gardener’s aura. Sharing the vitality- energy of young seedlings…….. or the harvest of fresh herbs and freshly picked fruit and berries…..or in the pruning of shrubs, making way for new growth. All these garden activities share in the new life vitality, combination of aura colours - coral pink, mulberry pink, lilac, jade, hydrangea blue, and russet brown. Giving the gardener a sense of fulfilment, achievement and self worth
TO GARDEN, IS TO SUPPORT LIFE
When a gardener has a clear intention to grow a plant to reach its full potential, the reward is in the journey and in the achievement. As is the development of their aura during the process.
The initial interest: stimulates a combination of buttercup yellow and crimson - gathering information and reviewing skills.
The starting point: activates a combination of maroon, pumpkin orange and doe-skin brown - developing the focus and a plan of action.
The completion point: sparks a combination of sky blue and amber - personal enrichment and belief in self.
The combined colours of the aura gardening journey, will prove to enrich self-esteem, self-reliance, self-discipline, self-empowerment, self-recognition, self-education and a deeper understanding of his or her connection to nature.

THE HEALING ENERGY OF GARDENING
In 2019 our property was completely destroyed by wild fire. Nothing was left standing. As we walked among the ruins and blackened landscape, the sunlight focused on a tiny, self-sown, two leaf parsley seedling. It stood alone in the grey ash. I dug it up and planted it in a pot. Four years on, the parsley plant sits close by the kitchen door of the new house. It has become a focal point in our recovery journey.
The day after the fire, it rained for three weeks. We searched for surviving plants in the ash. amongst fallen trees and sites where buildings once stood. Previous to the fire, we had grown 4,000 edible and medicinal plants, gathered from all corners of the world. Alas, only 431 species survived. Surprisingly, after the heavy rains, banana plants shot up from the ash and grew more quickly than they ever had.
Understanding the affects of long term trauma in the human aura, my husband and I devised a ‘positive’ recovery-healing plan. to revitalise our wounded auras. “Work smarter not harder” was our catch cry. We set about replacing lost tools and equipment. Week after week we rebuilt our vegetable and herb gardens, and planted young fruit tree trees and berries. With, charred scrap timber and contorted corrugated iron, we built a chicken coop to house the three chickens that friends had donated for our recovery.
With the help of the family, we cleared debris off a concrete block where a shed once stood. In the following six weeks my husband erected a new shed and insulated it. He installed a shower, wash basin, washing machine and secondhand kitchen. At last , we had somewhere to live and in the not too distant future, we would be harvesting homegrown food .
When I looked at our auras, they were fine. Filled with the colour combination of personal strength and recovery - caramel, terracotta, claret red, mulberry pink, beetroot, emerald green, lilac and primrose yellow.
People had advised us not to return to our property until the new house had been built, and the landscape cleared of debris. But we were defiant (Terracotta energy). Whilst living in our shed, we were readily available to offer refuge and care to fire-affected native animals. With our day to day help, Mother Nature recovered. And for our commitment, Mother Nature healed us.
