the Nasturtiums return, growing clockwise in the circle. They speak of the creative energy within us all. Deep orange and yellow, the sacral chakra and the solar plexus. They were not originally planted in this spot, but placed here by nature & serendipity. The circle is as a womb, where the fruits of labour grow now. What are you creating with your sacral area?

Murals are not restricted to paint upon a surface, we can create with rock and stones and flowers Isabella Wesoly, 17th May 2008 Above and below is my garden, tendered mostly by Nature, with my hand to certain structures. Inspired by a love of flowers, fairies and crystals, a message in the Ankh and Stonehenge's shape, entry/exit points and quartz content of the inner stones. Chakra awareness is also an important consideration when creating sacred space for well-being.
Since taking these photos I have planted stocks in the area surrounding the inner-most point, where Jasmine grows. On the square paving slab beneath the round pot, which contains the jasmine there is a sequence of crystal tumblestones. It is as a colour wheel, from the earth star chakra (beneath our feet) to the transpersonal chakra (above our head). Beginning at black, going through to brown, red, orange, yellow, pink, green, blue, indigo, violet, clear, white. It corresponds to the energy centres of our very being, called our chakras and for the fine tuning of these for our well being I highly recommend making one and using it! I often start my day by going to the circle, or take a break and go sit
with my feet in the earth, sand and moss. It feels good to connect to
earth, try it!
The scale of the circle can be increased (decreased), with your own choice of central focus.

the photograph below is how the garden looked the previous year, evolving as we do!
I was inspired to write the poem below
Ganesh in the Garden
Ganesh in the Garden.. 20th February 2007
There amidst the fauna. With sun before Imbolc Soothing, calming comfort. Came from the garden folk
The fei were not all sleeping. A gift of sheer dellight As glow of Ra upon the orb. Made all the garden bright
Helped by the silver structure. The Indian Mayan-like ball Made golden sun rebounding. From fence to ground to wall
Dark beside the light. Evergreen as love so true An elephant I see, you look. It's far left, there can you?
Ivy and Passionflower. The seeking tendrils led A union of peaceful energy. The picture made it said!
An elephant! in my garden? You can see it there Wondered where I got the strength. That must be surely where
Veils lifted on illusion. Cause once I said 'help! please' Offers came right, left and centre. Not even on my knees!
It makes me think of Ganesh. The elephant-cum-man Strong love and protection. The all-supporting hand
Thanks now for all peace. To flow for all to see That all we are is All in One. Let's flow in harmony
dedicated to all peaceful unions in the making, now
