And in the seventh year...RELAX
Shmita year tells us to stop working the soil. While people relax, the earth rests.
Sit down comfortably and relax. Gently close your eyes and for one minute focus your attention on breathing naturally, inhaling and exhaling from your nose. Feel the caress of the air, let go of all your thoughts. Allow no interruptions, and just be in the presence of this moment.
This year, the soil throughout the Garden is resting. That’s why we are not planting our usual 50,000 annual flowers. The beds have been mulched with wood chips to conserve the earth’s moisture and make weeding unnecessary.
As they decompose the wood chips nourish the soil.
“Then shall the land desire her Sabbaths.”
(Leviticus 26:34)
Any question? We will be glad to help
