As I was scanning the spewing of anxiety, anger and righteousness on public media today, I was struck (it is kind of an onslaught of ugly) with the thought that the practice of grounding could be so useful to the world today. We are not taught to release our thoughts and so we chase after every stick thrown in our vicinity like dogs retrieving some dark pointless broken limb. We are not taught to return to center so we chase our tails when we see a flicker of something that activates our adrenal glands.

Our culture of society; our culture of family; our culture of living in public media has left us quivering, wet, frustrated like a dog who has chased after something and ended up in deep water.

What is missing is a methodology for releasing the activation of anxiety. What is missing is a system for dismissing fight or flight energies.

For me, that happens in two practices. I sit meditation to find out what is going on within me. Sometimes when I think, “I am fine, ” I am surprised by the tears of grief. I cry and chant. I ask for wisdom, support, a steadying from the universe. And the entire meditation time is simply releasing anger, old anger, submerged anger. And something I feel calm. I go within to the center of my body where there is a courtyard of peace.

A buddhist nun once told me that my vision of the central garden of healing is exactly what meditation practice is about. She validated what I was experiencing. Inside there is stillness. Inside the breath there is wholeness. Inside the small tight self is an expanse of beauty. And it is always there.

I also experience the same quiet mind and expansiveness when I am gardening.

Yesterday, I was in the garden for hours and I used my hands, my body, my mind to create order and beauty. As I raked I thought, “I am raking now.” As I dug up weeds I thought, “I am making the rose bed beautiful now.” Over head I heard birds talking in their language and I wondered what they were saying. I thought, “I hear the birds.”

At the end of the day I felt substantial. I felt much more than just the story I have lived. I felt connected to the earth and the season and the plants. I felt as if I had been in a magnificent temple over arched by the sky and walled in by the dark blue mountains around me.

If every single person could find his or her own particular temple of peace; his or her own particular system of grounding there would be calm in the world. Children would be born into a harmonious world in which they would be safe, protected, loved for who they are.

As I watched social media ramping up the belief that it is other people we must fear, I wished for each person to find his or her distinctive method of grounding and feeling absolutely at peace with their own authentic way of being.

I return to the garden today. I can only weed my own patch of life.
