Ending Self Sabotage

The seed is the future you are choosing to trust. Before you plant it, you are asked to notice the self-sabotaging behaviors you want to release, then you claim a seed from a glass marble floating at eye level. Planting it is a way of handing those patterns over and committing to something new.

You repeat two lines after Elena: "I'm planting for the future. I trust the seeds will grow." You say them as you reach for the marble and then bury the seed in the soil. They are easy to carry into your day as a reminder to be patient.

You swap places with a neighbor on the path, so your seed is in their care and theirs is in yours. Each of you speaks kind, encouraging words to the seed. The idea is that love spoken aloud lifts you, and that we are all seeds being tended together.

The session tells you not to worry. It suggests you may simply be getting ready to receive seeds of inspiration. You can sit with the question without needing an answer.

The garden bursts into vines, ferns, flowers and little trees, and you rise above it to see everyone's paths forming spirals and circles. You then imagine sending a message to someone in the group and hearing their reply. You finish with hugs, a breath of thanks to the earth, and your eyes opening.

The scene is set at dawn, with the sun rising and warmth gathering in your abdomen, so it works well as a morning start. It closes with you feeling energized and ready to meet the day. At night, you can use it to release self-criticism and picture something growing slowly.
