Being in the Gardens as Mind Medicine
During this pause to guests and events, here’s some beautiful observations from the beloved Craig Stone on being in the gardens.
“Gardening, for me, allows space—and that that space has allowed me to find some presence, and to practice mindfulness on a daily basis. I’ve always meditated. But when I used to meditate, it didn’t matter how long the sit was; but as soon as that chime went, my mind clicked back on again. I could find peace and some presence on the mat, but as soon as that time went it would be, “Okay, let’s go.” Mental noise and mental traffic.
