Garden Grotto

For Meditation, Healing, and Relaxation

Garden Grotto (Images below)

Imagine a Soulscape that helps you embody your desire for mindful rest and enlightenment. A place to slow down and breathe. A place to dream. A place to contemplate and give thanks. A place to heal and rejuvenate. A place to create with nature-inspired art, music, journaling, or poetry. This seated bodhisattva, enjoying the shade of the bodhi tree, represents one who is on her way to enlightenment. She is bathed in the sun's light during the day, causing the solar fountain to overflow with delightful sound and movement, attracting birds and pollinators to your garden and helping everything else grow in the process.  The soothing water flow slows your rapid eye movement, relaxes muscles, and slows heart rate and respiration, while gently relieving tension, stress and anxiety, and infusing you with a healthy dose of "blue mind."  Sip a cup of tea while absorbing some Vitamin N(ature). Here you can reap all the benefits of soothing aqua and arbor therapy by proximity to living water and trees. While you practice mindfulness, yoga, qi gong, or tai chi, your breathing slows and deepens, and you become aware of creation's symphony thrumming with life and energy.  At night, the invitation to quietude and serenity deepens as the darkness enfolds you. Solar evening lights bathe not only the bodhisattva but also the surrounding arbor elders (trees), representing your own journey toward wisdom, growth, and life.  Why not sit with the elders, wise one?  Journey toward enlightenment. Everything is waiting for you.
