On my birthday 4 months ago, I wrote about a ritual planting of thousands of marigold seeds harvested from seed pods I had gathered the previous fall. I planted them with a lot of intention, as they represented the seeds of my birthday wishes. Four months later, I have noticed something very interesting...
In the area where I planted the seeds, the plants have grown full and mature, and are already beginning to produce seeds.
But the excess plants that I transplanted to other areas of the yard have barely grown in 4 months:
As I sat in my garden today, my bare feet on the ground in my daily Earthing practice, I puzzled over this difference. The plants all have similar soil conditions. And many have similar sunlight conditions. Some of the stunted transplants are only a few feet away from the area where I planted the seeds and the marigolds are thriving! What could account for the difference?
The Power of Intention
When I planted those Marigold seeds 4 months ago, I was in a state of setting intention for my new year. I was chanting my birthday wishes and affirmations. Doing so made my body feel buzzy with energy. My hands were warm with the flow of energy as I manually mixed the seeds into potting soil, and when I scooped up handfuls of the soil and seed mixture and scattered them throughout the planting area. My bare feet tingled as I stood on the ground during this process.
As I did this ritual planting, I was filled with gratitude... Gratitude for all the blessings in my life and all the blessings I knew would be coming.
Your birthday is your personal new year's day, and on my birthday I was filled with excitement for my new year. As I scattered the seeds, I visualized my heart's desires and felt the feeling of them coming true, as if it were already so.
Perhaps the flowers are not only being fed nutrients from the soil and energy from the sun, but also energy that I infused in the ground where I planted the seeds. Can the expanded state of energy that the power of intention creates really affect the rate of growth of a plant?
Many years ago I worked with a shaman-priestess. She worked out of an office in her home, which was located in a row of townhouses. In front of the townhouses were a row of trees. The tree directly in front of her house was twice the size of any of the other trees, even though they had all been planted at the same time. This was a woman who lived her life with daily intention and guided others to do the same. Each time I came to her home for a session, I noticed the size difference in the trees. The tree seemed to thrive in the positive energy field around that home!
If the energy of intention can affect the rate of growth of plants that dramatically, imagine what it can do for your life! Energy follows intention, and the state of your energy determines the state of your health, relationships and career. When you set intentions for your highest good, your higher self guides your life.

Next year I plan on using intention with all my plantings in all areas of my yard. It will be interesting to see how that affects the rate of growth!
