Embracing Change In the Hypnotherapists Garden

“The only constant is change.” - Heraclitus

As we enter the new spring season, I’d like to encourage us all to embrace the changes that are coming. There are two kinds of changes we each need to deal with regularly. One is change coming from an external source such as dealing with Covid-19 or being dumped by a partner. The other is change that you might want to make to improve your life. Losing weight, stopping smoking or improving your self-confidence are examples of this kind of change.

When I thought about writing a blog about embracing transition, the first thing that came to mind was my garden.  I love gardening for so many reasons. When I’m gardening I can pay attention to my thoughts.

When I began to explore where this love came from I remembered that every year my grandmother had a flower garden.  My grandparents lived in a small town in Colorado and I spent every summer there growing up.  Because it was cold and snowed every winter, she had to replant annual seeds and nurture her perennials and bulbs back to life each spring.  I loved helping her tend her garden and cutting flowers to bring inside to enjoy.  This week I have tulips in one of her antique vases – a wonderful memory to have about the changing of the seasons.

When my grandchildren visit, I usually ask them to help in my garden.  They love to play with water so I ask them to water the plants. They also helped repair the rabbit fence so that the rabbits would not eat my kale and sorrel!  I hope they will come to love gardening as much as I do.

Gardening translates into how I see my role in the world too.  I want to be able to nurture my family and friends and help them grow and become as beautiful as they can.  This is the role I see in my practice as well.  What can I do for my hypnotherapy clients to help them to grow and flourish in their lives? 

Whether it is overcoming a fear, feeling more confident in the work and life, stopping an unhealthy habit, or finding the opportunity in a changing world, I can work with you to embrace the change you want or need to make this season

Sincerely,

Cinda
