A heart is a garden called Eden. My garden is fruitful and creative. The seeds that fall in my garden, need little promotion, to bloom. As the Urgarten Eden may be a blessing or a curse. An unkempt garden will bring you to a jungle, and no garden more growth out, as the garden of my heart and my mind.
If weeds and thistles are planted, they are the ones that grow. They are the flowers of my heart, the joy of life suffocate and perish.
The Master has said: "As a man thinks in his heart of hearts, so is he." What I have planted in my garden that is what I am, or rather, is what I believe to be, and all I'll ever experience in my life, is what I plant in the garden of my heart.
If I sow seeds of pain and neglect, so I plant in my garden the conviction to be unloved, plant thorns of pain and deprivation, self-pity will be the experience of my life.
I am a gardener. My heart is my garden. It is also called the unconscious or the subconscious. Whether heart or mind my garden is the place where I have planted words, thoughts, beliefs and ideas. These seeds have long been cultivated as a fruit and have created the way, I see the world and learn.
I am a gardener and a thinker. My thoughts are from my garden, and my words and thoughts turn sow the flowers or the weeds.
As everyone talking I too thought to myself My world is watching every moment of working and my mind is full of words, thoughts and opinions. The words and thoughts, opinions and beliefs are products of my garden, and they in turn are seeds and fertilizer for my garden, so that the plants that grow in it, whether good or bad, every day stronger, deeper roots and always beat convincing effect.
My mind is full of beliefs, habits and descriptions. When I see a face in an expression, I tend to say: "This means ...", and if my interpretation seems to be advantageous for me, I react with a Flash of satisfaction and congratulate me. Says my interpretation, however, the facial expression was unfriendly and mean rejection and disapproval, then I will come up in me a feeling of hurt and blame the person whose face I have interpreted.
I was not aware until now that the pattern has been growing for my interpretation in my own garden. I was not aware that confidence and self esteem, the knowledge that I am absolutely right and loved, flowers from my own garden.
From today, I start a new life. I plant a new garden and harvest new thoughts and beliefs.
I am responsible for the thoughts that I cherish. I am sure I speak for myself, as I have always done so well.
I am the master gardener of my life. Can I now take responsibility for what I say to myself. I am responsible for my beliefs. How I feel every day, the result of which will be what I say to myself and what I have said time and again to me.
If I find it very difficult to tell wonderful and loving judgments about myself to me, this is because that this lonely little flower standing of self-esteem, which I plant now in the thousands, even millions of weeds that I have planted and nurtured, is almost suffocating.
Today I plant a new garden. It is a garden of joy and new life. The products of my garden will be health, prosperity and goodness. My new garden will support me with diverse and meaningful friendships. Happiness and satisfaction are ripe in the garden of my heart.
aggressive weeds in my garden because I thought again and again and lack of restrictions. Seeds are sown by repetition. It is a thought pattern, and the weeds watered and nourished, so often I respond with disrespect, humiliation, anger, resentment or jealousy.
Also my new garden grows through repetition. New thoughts build to new thinking patterns, and joyful, invigorating, nourishing ideas become entrenched habit. My new garden is my new life, my new habits and new ways for me to see.

I want to do with these thoughts with great care and familiar about watching that they satisfy my mind with new beliefs, thought patterns and behaviors. will
Every day I feed my mind, my heart and my garden in the same way as my physical body.
Every day I am the words of this scroll as a meal to take me and the contained Thoughts digest. The first time I will read it standing up, so that the first thoughts of my day that determine my mood and my expectations, nurturing and healing, and bring me to the divine source of my being.
I will read the Bija-scroll back to the lunch time to feed the strong roots of my new habits of thought and a new life. And every night I would read the Bija-scroll, so I take food material to me.
A fourth time I will repeat the scroll, when I go to bed so I sleep with the thoughts that I've chosen for my beautiful garden.

Often I am motivated by the desire to be right. I do not like that my views and actions are considered wrong. Sometimes the desire for pleasure the motive, the life will offer me something and satisfy me.
But the most powerful engine for my thoughts and actions is my longing for love. If I loved me know I have little use for money. Although sometimes it gives me a feeling of security, but not nearly as strongly as it is able to love.
If I know I am loved, I need applause and consent, love is in itself Zustimmung.Wenn applause and I love me know I need to have not quite.
need in the presence of a person who gives me his love, I am not ashamed of my mistakes and I appreciate it even if he love me fully aware of her I loved macht.Wenn me know, for me there is no greater pleasure, other pleasures are insipid or merely a means to give expression of my love and experience love.
Nothing satisfies more deeply than love.
If I loved white, so I'm happy but not complacent. I will continue to be driven to thoughts and actions that have goals, ideals, and even ambition. But are not my goals and my ambitions more an expression of insecurity, I need to prove anything to anybody.
If I loved white, I see leads me to loving action.
goals and ambitions are an expression of my need to give joy and share.
love is a matter of survival. I need love or a love substitute, to be able to literally survive. Far too many people have died from lack of love. For Love there are manifold replacement: power, money, material possessions, popularity and fame. Even horror and hatred are love substitutes. Any form of striking so may serve as a love substitute. Love spare satisfied, however, not really. At best it offers only temporary numbness and calls like a drug to increase.
Is power my love spare, so I need it today more than yesterday. The same is true of money, hatred, pity and all other forms prominent attention, with the exception of love.
All people want to feel "does it matter that I'm alive."
why we all hold out for Confirmations and signs, from which we can conclude that "it makes up something that I exist."
Each inflicted injustice, every dispute and every war is a consequence of hunger for recognition of the fact "that I would mind." Each ever committed crime is the result of this necessity of life. The criminal says to himself in his heart, "I make something, and if I am given this certainty is not amicably, I will show you that you have to count on me." Even nations that harbor common thought: "With us, we are concerned
And if your words and actions do not reflect this. put, we kill your young men, as if it was not on it mattered, and that will be seen cause you that you have to count on us. "
This need for recognition of the fact that I am important, be is none other than the desire loved.
If I am loved, I know that I am important, that my existence, or for people who love me, is important. I need no other ... proof I am loved, that's enough
I have a body, a personality, mind and spirit of a young child living in me, it is the child vulnerable part of myself all these "parts" must be in love, to stay healthy and survive. I am responsible for them.
Perhaps I receive love and not by others, perhaps. The others will approve of my being or not always agree with me. Often they will give me even to understand that they think I'm completely meaningless.
But this one I know I am loved.
Whether I know loved me, is my decision and my responsibility.
I accept the responsibility to love all that I AM.
Every day I want more time, remember that I am loved. I myself love myself. I am important to myself, no matter whether it seems other important or not that I'm alive, and that's enough. I would certainly be loved by others, but if I'm all over the world, no one loves I'm dead right.
Thus have I decided: I am loved.
I want the other to love and be loved yourself. I love the other, whether they love me or not. There is no reason to deprive anyone of my love. I acknowledge freely, it is important "that you are alive." I müchte the other to understand so clearly state that no one feels to prioritize its importance to malicious actions to the test.
The most sensitive deficiency in the world is the lack of love. The hunger for love is the root of all crimes, including the cause of all pain and suffering. Lack of love and appreciation is the real cause of all wars. Hunger, poverty and distrust are the consequences of love and scream substitute for true love.
love is able to change any evil in the world to prevent war and bring peace. Love is the secret way to bring about a society without crime.
Love can bring about a balanced distribution of the goods of this earth and help all to a decent existence. The position where the wealthy love the have-nots, there is no poverty. Today I am the love of my duty.
I want to help to change the world. I already live in heaven.
This is a state of consciousness in which I know I am loved and love others unconditionally. From now on, I love love me selbst.Ich what I AM.
I do not love all the things I have done. I love my mistakes, but I appreciate what I have learned from them, and love me, even if I make mistakes.
I forgive all those who do not love me and love might not be able. I love her anyway.
Today I release my family, my friends and my spouse from the tyranny of my hunger for love. No longer will I give them by words or my actions to mean: "I need your love, I am hurt and get angry if you do not love me."
From today, I love myself
I LOVE ME.
I AM LOVED.
I AM LOVED AND IT IS WONDERFUL.
BECAUSE I LOVE MYSELF, I AM FREE TO LOVE YOU.
I AM LOVED AND I AM THANKFUL.
