Blog Entry: Survive ADHD and similar behavioural conditions with Flowers from the Garden It was the day of my 56 th birthday and a difficult day in the most challenging year in my life as I let go of so much around me. Something so many of us are experiencing right now, in different ways! For me amongst other things, within 4 months, I had finally lost my mom to 10 years of Alzheimer’s and dementia, also Ruby, my little rescue boxer dog, my constant companion and HET helper. So how did I spend my birthday? I visited mom’s graveside and spoke with her and then I walked across the fields with a spirit dog at my side and was given the birthday PRESENT . I have based a very powerful psychotherapy tool designed around a remarkably accurate self- assessment process. The concept was derived from Mom’s favourite saying – “ Life is a garden without any doubt – you put good things in and you get good things out.” So, the graveside conversation went something like this: “Mom, if life is a garden and you get good things out why were your last years the way they were?” And the reply came – from the words deep inside that echoed though me: “ You are a ‘good thing’ that I planted in my garden. A beautiful flower and people from around the world will come to see and enjoy my garden. The world is full of books ( …Mom was an avid reader!). Everyone has a book to write – the book is the story of their life. In each book are many chapters. In each chapter are many pages. Each day is a new page and it is up to the writer what they chose to write on that page of that day in their life . I have written my book and you are my sequel.” The words left their resonance within me as I processed my day. By the time I returned from my the walk through the fields with a little spirit dog at my side as ever - I knew quite clearly, what I had to do. I am preparing a concept book now called “Gifts from the Garden”. In my years of working with ‘The Garden Within Exercise’, now known as ‘Pat’s Garden’. In the interpretation, the flowers represent gifts (although when things first happen to us we do not always see them as ’Gifts’, ( that only happens with VAT – Value Added Time!) But many have asked me at workshops where I have taught this technique what the different flowers mean. Usually at this point I refer them to Google and ‘The Language of Flowers’ ( A Victorian technique of early ‘texting’! Only with flowers that all meant something special), or refer them to the colour significance of the flowers they drew, or even the Bach Flower Remedies from which Dr Edward Bach derived his essences which assist with emotional management. However, in this concept - this isn’t my book, it is yours! If you subscribe to ‘Flowers from the Garden’ – I will regularly send you (2 or 3 times a week, each week for a year, till my next birthday, ) a page to create your own book of personal development – based on the underlying spiritual principles of HET. Each one is an inspiring spiritual focus and a beautiful piece of my photo/art to inspire your feelings. Complete each one for a few minutes on a chosen day and that focus will help to support the feelings within you and the insight of WISDOM, to create the life – scape that you wish.

I wrote this many years ago when I ran the Centre for natural healing in Wolverhampton and so many people have seen their lives start to change after using this meditation. I don’t wish to inundate your email box – so I will just wait to hear from you before I send this gift out to you. I have attached a couple of the ‘Flowers from the Garden’ to start your book going!

What are the most powerful words you can write for those who look up to you, on your life scape page today? So many times I have heard people say unpleasant things about others – I refuse to join in and only speak of good things about others from today – I start today to say good things about those who have caused me pain in some way. In doing this I am painting my own self portrait.
