The Sound of Silence

An easy and hopefully useful tip for emptying your mind to work with the plants in my nightshade truffles is to close your eyes and every time you catch yourself thinking a thought, quietly say, “shhhhhh” until it melts away. You may have to do this quite a bit until your mind is comfortably quiet. Think of the soft rustling noise from a gentle breeze moving through reeds by the water and channel that kind of energy into the ‘shhhhh’ and visualize your conscious thoughts moving away from you and gently dissipating with that breeze. Once your mind is completely quiet, it makes it easy for the plants to take the lead.
