Soul Gardening: The Rooting Years


Consider your whole self – spiritmindbody – as a garden. Just as a gardener partners with Mother Nature to develop beautiful landscapes free from weeds and blight so, too, can you learn to master your inner nature for robust personal and professional growth.

Every book in the Soul Gardening series cleverly combines developmental and transpersonal psychology with Eastern sacred philosophy and integrative medicine to identify and transform vital growth factors into practical master gardening techniques.

A life of health, happiness, success, and influence is already yours. All you need do is cultivate what is seeded within you so it can bloom. The Rooting Years is your personal gardening manual. Various growth factors governed by the root and sacral chakras are spotlighted. Anecdotes illustrate how to recognize a growth factor when it first sprouts. The factor is briefly described. Finally, soul lessons outline simple steps to realize full growth and a rich life at work, rest, and play. Mantras, prayers, and affirmations provide additional gardening inspiration.

Seven gardening levels match the energy centers of the chakras and Erik Erikson's stages of human development and are required of a Master Soul Gardener. The Rooting Years details mastery of the first level, including:

• Identify what programs your roots and how to re-program them • View mistakes and encouragement as vital aspects of growth. • Read signs to better align soul gardening efforts with your divine life path • Clear space for positive, supportive growth • Release tribal rule and reset your reference base for holier growth • Learn how trust and autonomy affect your roots • Understand how emotions ground or rot your roots • Return to love for self and others … and much more!

The Rooting Years contains more than 75 inspirational prayers and affirmations and covers over 60 growth factors stocked with gardening guidelines, tips, and mastery questions for personal application, including:

• Object permanence—To what do you cling even though it has disappeared from your life? Why are you waiting for a return appearance? • Non-organic failure-to-thrive—Does your spirit suffer from failure-to-thrive? How often do you dust your energy field to remove static build-up? • Circular reactions—Do you find self caught in a negative cycle, repeating the same action with the same unsatisfactory results, time and again? • Empathy—How often do you put your worries and concerns aside to reach out with an affection connection at work, rest, and play? • Sense of self—Are you a supervisor or employee who nurtures the overall garden? Or, do you force the plot to reflect your bloom? • Extinction—Have you extinguished the positive creativity giving your life purpose and meaning? • Goal-directed behavior—Have you developed spiritual ADHD?

In Soul Gardening: The Rooting Years, Dr. Croft shares over three decades of combined experience as a SoulNinja™ personal/leadership mastery coach, professor of psychology and lifespan development, therapist, registered healer, and spiritual guide. She covers the same mastery concepts and questions in her SoulNinja™ Personal | Leadership Mastery sessions.

This book assist personal mastery for self or if a professional working to assist others.

Living with Heart

You were born a divine being with a spark of God-Self embedded in your heart, but if you are like most of us, there are days when you feel more ordinary than heavenly.

Have you ever felt pulled in multiple directions and wished life would slow down so you could collect yourself? Or, sensed you were not living the life you were meant to live? Do you desire more from your life? More success? Peace? Joy? Abundance? Enlivening spirit? Health? Influence? Meaning? Maybe you would like a stronger sense of self and purpose.

It is possible several of those questions resonate with you. If so, you are not alone. It is human to want more from life.

The Living with Heart series is a gentle reminder that, when we connect to the world with heart and become curiously amused, engaged, and enlightened by self,™ life becomes light and jolly. Empowering self-discovery serves to counterbalance the frequently hectic and disorienting state of modern life.

The stories in Living with Heart are designed to align and activate your God-Self and inner resources. Each book encourages you to set heightened awareness allowing you to better discern your authentic path, when you are being pulled from your true center, and how to self-correct. Living with Heart highlights concepts with down-to-earth practicality to enhance soulful expression in everyday life. Each story includes personal mastery questions for reflection and application.

The author, Dr. Candace Croft, shares her more than three decades of experience as a therapist, registered healer, and SoulNinja™ coach helping others achieve spiritmindbody integration for greater health and life quality. She offers insights that inspire fresh perspectives on mastering self in an engaging, delightful, and enlightening manner. The concepts and mastery questions included in each book also are those used in Dr. Croft’s SoulNinja™ mastery sessions.

Whether a new or seasoned SoulNinja™ Mastery student, Living with Heart offers ways to attain a life of greater meaning aligned with authentic self. Each book may be used by anyone seeking greater personal growth and life meaning, as well as by professional assisting others.

Enter Lazy Lapis the Dream Magician ...

With her guide at her side, she wanders mindlessly like other Sleepy Noggins and encounters horrible happenings that continually upend her landscape, trap her in darkness, and keep her dreams from coming to light.
