The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 241

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre on day 21 of our new lock down. This morning I am going to talk to you about life at Ballinwillin House Farm and how I practice mindfulness during Covid19. Well it is quite simple really as I have said many times to you during my blogs. First thing every morning I spend about 5 minutes in meditation and thanksgiving mostly in the garden barefoot and nearly always before dawn and in tandem with the seasons. I find this process sets me up for the day. Then I head off to the fields during spring, summer and autumn and in the winter time I feed the young animals in the sheds until it is bright enough to check and visit all the animals in the fields. During the rest of the day it is general farming and gardening or preparing meat for the various outlets. Then in the evening time when the days work is done I meditate usually for a period of no less than 90 minutes. This is a combination of meditation and prayer for many issues that I have been asked to pray for and also I would spend maybe 20 minutes sending healing to people who have asked for help. I find this part of the day very fulfilling and during my meditation I would speak openly with my spiritual ancestors and friends who are with me always and guiding me. By doing these regular activities I can reclaim any lost minutes of the day and I connect deeply with life and I find it gives me a great zest for life and people and leaves me very happy but it takes practice. So begin a little today and build it up and if you need any help don’t hesitate to send The Mindful Farmer an email. Continue to pray, bless and send healing to all and wear your smile.
