Create a Living Dream Garden with Helen

How would you like to easily create a beautiful, living vision board like this that reminds you daily of your desires and goals and reflects your current state – a vibrant, organic anchor for your dreams, reminding you to stay in balance?

If you’re not recharging yourself daily, you’re probably running on empty. My life lesson as a psychotherapist for 37 years was that you could end up broken by nurturing others without filling yourself up first. I learned to create balance in my life through my Living Dream Gardens, and want to share my experience to help you also put an end to running on empty. Life should be about joy!

Spirit gave me the inspiration to create my Living Dream Gardens in 2006. It was a magical “aha” moment as I got a vision of interweaving my love of symbols with succulents, crystals, and power animals into beautiful, living creations. I realized that all these elements I loved could synergistically combine into a powerful “healing garden.” Later, as I learned about the Law of Attraction, I realized that I had created an “intention garden” – a living Vision Board. My tiny Garden packed with all things precious to me has lived on my bedroom altar ever since.It serves as a daily reminder that I matter – that I need to take care of ME before I can pass along my healing energies to others.

Out of years of disabling back pain came the unshakable commitment I now honor to stay in balance. I’ve figured out that my back is my barometer, and if it’s hurting, I’ve slipped into running on empty. I talk about this in my chapter in the internationally best-selling book Pebbles in the Pond Wave FourPebbles in the Pond Wave Four, “Put an End to Running on Empty: Bringing Back Balance for Over-Givers.”

My Living Dream Gardens are the best way I know to recharge, raising my vibration daily. I feel pure joy as I watch the succulents grow and bloom, and I’m enveloped by a sense of peace as I link to Source God in prayer, supported by the healing energies of my Gardens. There’s a 12 Step saying: “It works when you work it, and you’re worth it.” I had to decide once and for all that I was worth it.

My Living Dream Gardens help me each day to stay balanced. They give me something alive and beautiful to tend so I can be reminded of my own aliveness and beauty, and of the importance of slowing down and taking care of me.

From all my experiences, I’ve learned three things:

*You really DO matter just as much as everyone else.

*It takes dedication, effort, and focus to stay on a path of self-love.

*Creating a Living Dream Garden is a powerful step in the direction of self-care.

I will be interviewed on Facebook Live by KatyeAnna Clark about my Living Dream Gardens, then offering a two-part tele-seminar on Zoom teaching you how to build your Living Dream Garden.

In the class, I will share with you how to create and benefit from your own Living Dream Garden. It’s a simple, relaxing, and fun way to tend to yourself. I’ll give step-by-step instructions to create your Garden. In the meantime, I’ve created a special guided visualization to help you tap into the power and feeling of your own Living Dream Garden. You can watch it now by clicking here www.LiveandGrow.com/visualization.

Once you have your vision, the fun part is creating your own Living Dream Garden! This practice is first about envisioning, and then manifesting into reality that which you desire. You will create your own 3D living and growing vision board.

Please enter your email in the form, and I’ll let you know about the class and send you a pdf of my Top 10 Manifesting Helpers. You also can email me at helen@liveandgrow.com, or call me (805) 489-7131.

Blessings, Helen

BRING BACK BALANCE: Create a Living Dream Garden

LIVE AND GROW Posted on November 26, 2016 by Helen SherryNovember 26, 2016

You’ve been giving to everyone else. Time to refocus on you.

On June 23rd, 2015 my co-authored book Pebbles in the Pond Wave Four: Transforming the World One Person at a Time became an international number one best-seller. My chapter is called Put an End to Running on Empty: Bringing Back Balance For Over-Givers. I love helping Over-Givers (stressed healing professionals, teachers, caregivers and harried moms) bring back balance into their lives through creating Living Dream Gardens.

Those of us who are Over-Givers prioritize everyone else first. I learned this the hard way after years of running on empty, pushing myself into exhaustion and finally injury. Relentless pain and emergency back surgery taught me that I needed to take care of myself first, that I had to matter as much as those I serve. My chapter in Pebbles in the Pond Wave Four details my journey and offers the hope that you, too can learn to live life more joyfully, manifesting your own dreams as well as cheerleading others. Helen's MH quote

My Living Dream Gardens are the best way I’ve found (after years of running on empty) to anchor and ground each morning by connecting me back to the joy of Nature and Spirit. I then refocus on my own dreams and goals as a priority before I set out into the world to help others. I now am serving from a place of full, not empty and am manifesting miracles! I know that having your own Living Dream Garden can do this for you as well. I hope you will check out Pebbles in the Pond Wave Four and contact me about creating your own Garden. Just click the ContactUs form on the left, email me at helenmsherryauthor@icloud.com or call (805) 489-7131.

There’s a link in the book to a video visualization to start you on manifesting the life of your dreams. Or access it here: www.liveandgrow.com/visualization

Choose to Thrive! Let Go of the Past to Come Alive!

LIVE AND GROW Posted on August 28, 2013 by Helen SherryJune 1, 2015

Choose to Thrive! Let Go of the Past to Come Alive. This photo was taken of me at Ozorezan in Japan. Ozorezan is the Gateway to Hell according to the Buddhists, and a sacred shrine in Northern Aomori Prefecture where souls must cross the river to reach the afterlife. On this October day I came with a tour from Misawa Air Base where I was working as a mental health consultant to military families. Unexpected rain began to pour as we drove up, and everyone scattered for cover. I was quickly drenched as I passed through the entrance. The young … Please continue reading

To Thrive, Look Closely To Find the Beauty In Life

LIVE AND GROW Posted on July 16, 2013 by Helen SherryJune 1, 2015

Sometimes we’re so busy and preoccupied that we don’t take time to look closely at the beauty around us. I was amazed to come out in the early morning and find these luscious blooms had emerged overnight on a prickly cactus. I smiled and rushed by, going down to feed my insistently neighing horse in the corral below. Hurrying back up, with my To Do’s chanting in my head, I almost didn’t stoop to peer more closely. Can you see the bee in the flower on the left? Suppose I didn’t look… or look again. Here’s the same view a … Please continue reading

Live and Grow and Thrive-Take Time To Sniff

LIVE AND GROW Posted on July 1, 2013 by Helen SherryJune 1, 2015

One way to nurture your dreams- to live and grow and thrive- is by taking time for yourself each day. We are always told to stop and smell the roses, and these red beauties in the Village of Arroyo Grande near my office were stunning. I was proud of myself for stopping to sniff. But wait- no scent! I then tried two other beautiful blooming bushes. Nothing. I stooped to the lowly, plain white roses by the gate. Beauty was in the nose of the beholder. Take time to examine beyond the expected. Please let me know what you find!

Annoying or Awesome?

LIVE AND GROW Posted on April 1, 2013 by Helen SherryJune 1, 2015

As I sat at my computer writing, I heard a buzzing sound. Irritated, I was convinced somehow a fly had gotten into the room and was trapped behind the wooden slats of the mini-blinds. I opened them a little further, and peered out. Instead of the anticipated black fly writhing, I saw a bee sipping lavendar nectar just outside my open window. When I took the time to look instead of pre-judging and just feeling annoyed, I was able to behold something awesome! Take the time for life. You might discover something unexpectedly wonderful.

Honor Your Own Pace

LIVE AND GROW Posted on March 2, 2013 by Helen SherryJune 1, 2015

Sometimes life is so hectic that we lose sight of our big picture, our long-term goals, and get caught up in the whirlwind details of life. Take time this Spring to contemplate what it is you truly value. What is your passion? What can you dream and begin to envision that gives you a tingle of aliveness? You don’t need to know how to get there. That comes later. I believe that the Universe begins to align itself to support our goals as we begin to clarify our values and priorities. Remember the parable of the Tortoise and the Hare? … Please continue reading

Spring is a time of renewal

LIVE AND GROW Posted on March 1, 2013 by Helen SherryJune 1, 2015

As the earth begins to warm, we see trees budding and even beginning to bloom, and hear Birdsong as they begin to create nests for the new life to come. We can reflect on what we wish to create in our own lives this Spring. We can take the time for ourselves to sit and breathe. Breathe in the new energies of renewal and Spring, and breathe out the old Winter energies of holding and withdrawing into oneself. What is it that you would like to bring forth? Plans for your creativity or self nurturing? This is a good time … Please continue reading
