Garden Sage

Excerpt from Honoring The Wisdom in Nature Pocketbook Edition with 54 Plant Essence Card

“I offer healing, respite, and hope renewed.
Speak to me softly of words I cannot hear,
visions unseen, and hopes dashed by the
harshness of life. I bring clarity to restore and
make anew.”

Keywords: wise, powerful, protective, strong, soothing, envisioning

Habitat: Garden Sage, also known as Kitchen Sage, grows as a small
perennial shrub with large silvery green leaves and light purple

medicine for centuries. It is native to the Mediterranean.

MESSAGE

Think about what you want to envision. Become that envisioning in order to manifest your dream. Be clear in what you want and how you want to get there. Take care to not overthink it. Be brave in trusting your inner vision of your life. Whatever dreams you have given up on, made small or ignored, now is the time to revisit, dig up, and bring into your awareness. What do you want your life to look like in a year, or five years? Go outside the constraints of time and know that your life can be exactly how you want it right now.

Release stuck emotions, stagnant areas in your body holding things
that no longer are of use. Dries up pools of stuck emotions so that
you are free from revisiting the same bog. Clears the eyes removing
dampness. Clears the mind removing muddled thinking. Uplifts the
spirit, releasing antiquated notions.

PATTERNS

• Giving up on dreams because of what you or others think of them. Stuck in old patterns, past emotions, and ways of thinking.

• Disconnection to inner vision or trying to mentalize your life.

AFFIRMATION

“My gift is to purify and dry areas of dampness and stagnation to
restore and make anew.”
