Step into a magical garden.

This month, we are invited into the Mystical Garden to gather around the Fountain of Rejuvenation for healing.

Healing can happen on many levels—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. And truly, healing in any one of those areas is a meaningful win.

I love the imagery of this card, calling us to gather around a fountain. There is something inherently magical about water—listening to it and watching it flow. This peaceful scene brings to mind the word convalescence: the gradual process of regaining health and strength. Across the world, there are places devoted to healing waters—the Ganges River in India, the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, Lourdes in France, even Saratoga Springs in New York, along with countless hot springs. And of course, Bath, England, where people once gathered to drink sulphur smelling mineral-rich waters and bathe in them for their healing properties.

This month, you are invited to find—or create—your own healing sanctuary. Because truly, who couldn’t use a little healing somewhere in their life… or perhaps everywhere?

Start by dreaming. Imagine the most healing environment you can. Then look closely at that vision—what do you recognize? What elements can you recreate in your own home?

Some of the most natural healing spaces are your bed or your bathroom. Your bed is already a place of rest—could it become a deeper sanctuary for healing? And since water is such a powerful element in so many healing traditions, your bathroom can easily be transformed into a place of renewal—even if you don’t have a hot spring in your backyard.

Once you’ve chosen your space, take an honest look around. Gently remove anything that doesn’t feel supportive or aligned with healing. Open the windows and let fresh air circulate—do this often. Then clean the space thoroughly.

As you begin to set it up again, do so with intention. Consider your whole experience there. What will you see? What will you hear? What will you smell? Comfort matters, but so do these sensory details—they shape the environment in subtle but powerful ways.

It’s also important to remember that healing can be tender. Just as we cover a wound or splint a broken bone, we need care and protection during the healing process. And healing is not always comfortable.

I remember the summer after kindergarten when I broke my leg. I spent most of that season in a cast from foot to thigh. It was heavy, hot, and incredibly uncomfortable. As the bone began to heal, it ached and itched constantly. There were moments of real frustration—and yes, there were tears.

That experience taught me something important: healing often asks for patience, and sometimes for distraction.

So as you create your healing sanctuary, consider including something gentle to draw your attention when needed. There are moments when healing is happening beneath the surface, and the kindest thing we can do is allow it.

A view of the outside can be soothing—perhaps even a bird feeder by the window.  But your space can include favorite book, or a way to view a comforting show, or something that makes you laugh. You might bring in the element of water—something to watch, to listen to, or even to touch.

And in that space, allow peace and rejuvenation to find you.

Healing doesn’t require perfection, and it doesn’t happen all at once. It can unfold in small, steady ways—in the spaces you create, the care you offer yourself, and the moments you allow yourself to simply be.

So take a breath. Step into your healing space. And trust that something within you already knows the way back to wholeness.
