Replace Weeds with Seeds

Elizabeth "TuTu" Sainz • September 9, 2020

Aloha Everyone,

With spring on the way, and weeds popping up everywhere, we present this VIDEO to help you get MORE of your favorite things growing in your food forest!

I feel so happy when I’m out in the garden, pulling out weeds and dropping seeds in the holes where the weeds once grew. It’s fun to transform the garden floor with seeds for plants you love!

The practice of replacing weeds with seeds can also be used to raise your vibration! When I’m thinking an angry or hating thought, I think of it as a weed seed in my mind. If I speak words of anger or hate, I’m planting those bad seeds into the energy field around us.

Sometimes it takes a bit of effort to remove the weed-y thought from my mind, but I give it a tug, or use a tool like meditation to pull it out of my mind, and then it’s easy to replace it with a forgiving and loving thought.

Then I imagine how I would like to see the situation with the good seeds growing instead of the weeds. Just like planting a better seed in my mind. It’s fun!

Then I nurture those better feeling thoughts in my imagination by focusing on them and talking about them to other people. Those better-feeling words fall into the energy field around us and begin to grow, just like little plants spring up from seeds.

When words are spoken, they carry more power than thoughts because they are being heard by the people around us and they enter into their minds and their thoughts, so it’s important to watch which words you are planting!

By continuing to hold those positive images and ideas in my mind and speaking them out into the field of energy around us, soon I begin to feel the feeling as if they are the truth.

After that, I help the images grow by taking small actions to make them come true. Pretty soon, I look around, and what I imagined has become real in this world.

This is the very process I used to co-create a food forest and learn how to write a blog, and it’s way more fun than walking through life in an ugly field of anger or hate!!

Now that being said, here’s the video:

Here’s the transcript of the words in the video:

The official start of Spring is just days away, and gorgeous healthy weeds are popping up everywhere. We have dandelions, thistles, spurge, mares tails and a wide variety of other volunteers that I can’t even name growing right up through the mulch!
What I’ve come to love about these volunteers is that they are really here to help. They get the garden started where nothing is growing, creating healthy nitrogen-rich leaves, and breaking up heavy clay soil with their roots! See here how useful these gardening allies are for creating crumble, friable soil where once we had dense clay!
I’ve been enjoying time in the garden, listening to the birds sing, breathing in the fresh air and getting exercise as I pull up weeds and drop seeds or small seedlings in the holes left behind, burying the seeds or seedlings back up and then tearing up the leaves and dropping them for mulch. I give some of the dandelions leaves to the turkeys too – they are very fond of eating dandelions!
I’ve been planting lots of corn seeds because I still have a huge bag of corn seeds left over from last years crop, even after we ate a lot of fresh corn, froze some, and popped some. This year, I hope we can sell some too!

Well that’s our post for today – when you pull out weeds, replace them with seeds (or seedlings) of your preference!

Break off the flowers and seed pods from the weeds for disposal before you drop the leaves back on the ground, if you wish to prevent more weeds from self-propagating.

Infinite Abundance, World Peace, and Aloha!
