Genesis 2:4-9, Sacred Garden of the Heart
🌟 The Heart Chakra & High Heart Chakra
đź“ś Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a spark—a divine invitation to awaken and create. Genesis 2:4–9 speaks of the creation of the earth and the formation of the first garden—Eden. This passage is not just a historical moment—it is a living parable of your own spiritual awakening, the story of Adam’s journey within.
Every word, every breath in this scripture mirrors our own sacred journey: the emergence of divine light from within the body, the remembering of our true nature as living temples of Spirit, and the planting of a sacred garden of the heart where love and divine wisdom flourish. May this reflection guide you back to the Source of your being, as you awaken the light within and walk the eternal path of Adam’s transformation.
đź“– Scripture Passage
Genesis 2:4–9 (NIV)
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground,
6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.
9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
🕊️ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the delicate balance between the physical and the spiritual—the divine union that brings life to the soul’s garden. The ground represents the body, the sacred vessel of our spiritual experience. The streams that rise up from within are the life-giving flow of blood, the rivers of vitality that nourish the body’s landscape.
The rain, which had not yet come, symbolizes the divine inspiration and higher guidance that descends from the Source—awakening the seeds of love and purpose within us. It is the spiritual nourishment that brings the soul’s garden to life.
The garden planted in the east, Eden, is the Heart Chakra—the sanctuary of love, but also of the potential of dualistic discernment of good and evil if fruit from the Tree of Good and Bad is eaten. Then, in this center, we will grapple with the mind’s tendency to judge and determine for ourselves what is good and bad—often separate from the divine guidance that unifies and transcends these judgments. It is here that the seeds of love could be overshadowed by the mind’s division.
West of the garden lies the High Heart Chakra, the gateway to unconditional love. Unlike the Heart’s potential for discerning love, the High Heart opens us to divine compassion, soul purpose, and the love that transcends all judgment. It is the seat of spiritual devotion, where we remember our unity with the divine and one another.
God’s breath into Adam’s nostrils is the spark of divine consciousness—the Holy Spirit within, the breath of life that transforms dust into a living soul. This is your own transformation—awakening from the dust of forgetfulness to the remembrance of your divine light, guided by the unconditional love of the High Heart.
💎 Emerald Tablet Insight – Genesis 2:4–9: Sacred Garden of the Heart
From Tablet IV – The Space Born:
“Know ye, O man, ye are the soul! The body is nothing! The Soul is all! Let not your body be a fetter. Cast off the darkness and travel in Light. Learn to know that Light is your heritage. Learn to know that darkness is only a veil.”
In Genesis 2:4–9, the garden planted in Eden is not a physical location, but the sacred terrain of the heart—prepared only after the mist rises and man (Adam) is formed. This correlates to the Emerald Tablet’s reminder that the body is merely a vessel, while the soul—your true essence—is Light itself. Just as the Lord God plants a garden eastward in Eden, your soul, once awakened in form, is gently rooted in a realm of divine potential. The mist rising from the ground reflects the veiled, unconscious emotions and energetic patterns that must ascend before Eden—the Heart Chakra—can bloom with intention, truth, and alignment.
This tablet’s declaration to “cast off the darkness” mirrors the Genesis invitation to till the ground—to prepare the fertile soil of your inner life. It is only when this ground (the body) is honored as a vessel of divine experience that the Tree of Life (High Heart) and the Tree of Knowledge (Heart) are revealed. These trees are not merely planted—they are placed with purpose at the center of your being, offering the soul its sacred choice between unity and duality, remembrance and illusion. Eden is not a location to return to—it is the sacred heart space you were born to awaken.

🌟 Why Use Tarot to Help Explain the Bible?
Tarot and the Bible both speak the language of the soul—a symbolic language that transcends time, culture, and religious tradition. When we read the Bible as a mystical or allegorical text, Tarot becomes a powerful companion tool that can help us:
It’s about awakening the layers of divine meaning encoded in scripture so that it becomes a living revelation—one that meets you exactly where you are on your spiritual path.

Hello! Thanks for this article! I am sure many people can help this and maybe understand better the Scriptures and so on.
Would no lie, at first I was thinking it is post written about Bible and I was bit skeptical. But I got impressed on how you looked at those things. It seemed you looked at it bigger and deeper with allegories and deeper meanings and it is not about Bible or anything like I heard before.
I have a friend who is crazy about Bible, but for me all she said felt so depressing and sad even. But to your understanding and world where Bible are just some part of deeper understanding the world and spirituality. I would say it connected with me, so similar or my own understanding of the world we live in, I meant in spiritual sense.
” This passage calls you to remember that you are already whole, already part of the divine garden.” – Just amazing, loved every part of this article. I would call this article about spirituality and connecting and understanding of ourselves and world around us.
Loved how you added rituals, meditation and essential oils. I just love everything about what you wrote, nothing more to say. To create something like this in a post, it is amazing and so creative. Thank you! Never was thinking somebody can put it like this.
Thanks! Have an amazing and creative day!
Best regards

Dear Linda,
Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful comment. Your words truly moved me.
I completely understand that initial skepticism—so many of us have encountered interpretations of the Bible that feel heavy, limiting, or even fearful. It’s deeply encouraging to hear that this perspective resonated with you on a spiritual level and felt more expansive and connecting. That’s exactly what this work is meant to do: help us see the sacred texts not as rules or restrictions, but as mirrors reflecting our own inner journey back to wholeness.
I’m especially touched that the line “you are already whole, already part of the divine garden” spoke to you. That truth is the heart of everything I share here—reminding us that the garden was never lost, only forgotten, and our healing is simply remembering who we truly are.
It brings me so much joy to know that the rituals, meditations, and essential oil suggestions helped create a full sensory and spiritual experience for you. Your encouragement means more than you know. Thank you for receiving the message so openly and for sharing your light.
Wishing you many creative, heart-connected, and joy-filled days ahead.
With gratitude and love,

I took a look at, “Sacred Garden of the Heart” on Alchemist Iris, and I have to say, it immediately felt like slipping into a gentle, spiritual oasis. The whole tone is warm, reflective, almost like a hand reaching out to guide you into an inner sanctuary. Here are a few thoughts that popped up while reading:
The idea of cultivating a “garden” within your heart is so inviting. Rather than something outside to tend, it’s about what we already hold, and how we can nurture calmer emotions, intention, and a sense of purpose. It’s personal, but also universal.
The metaphor of planting seeds of compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude really landed. It made me picture simple daily acts, like pausing to breathe, sending kindness to ourselves or others, as watering the garden. Over time, little gestures grow into something thriving.
There’s a lovely weaving between emotional inner work and external nature. Moments spent with actual flowers or quiet garden time become mirrors for what’s happening inside. It’s that beautiful echo, as we tend to nature, nature tends to us, heart and soul.
I particularly appreciated how the article doesn’t come across as preachy. There’s no “must meditate 20 minutes.” Instead, it softly invites you to experiment, perhaps start with a small ritual or a few minutes of reflection. There’s freedom and gentleness in that.
“Sacred Garden of the Heart” feels like a gentle reminder that we all carry a space inside capable of growing beauty, healing, and resilience. It doesn’t require fancy ceremony, just awareness, care, and a little intention. And that’s exactly what makes it feel so modern, warm, and real.
Kind regards
Martin
Dear Martin,
Your words truly warmed my heart—thank you for taking the time to share such a deeply felt reflection.Â
You beautifully captured the essence of what “Sacred Garden of the Heart” was meant to offer—a space that welcomes rather than instructs, that invites rather than insists. I especially loved how you described the garden metaphor as something both personal and universal. That’s exactly the balance I hope to hold: each of us walking our own path, yet still rooted in a shared soil of sacred potential.
Your vision of “watering” the heart with breath, kindness, and small acts of care is such a poetic and powerful image. It’s those very gestures—gentle, simple, intentional—that slowly cultivate inner resilience and radiance. You’re absolutely right: no grand performance is needed. Just presence, and the willingness to return again and again to the garden within.
I also appreciate your acknowledgment of the tone. I believe healing happens most powerfully in spaces that honor our natural rhythm. We don’t always need to push—we just need to remember that healing is possible, already inside us, waiting to bloom.
Thank you again for your kind spirit and beautiful words. May your own sacred garden continue to thrive in grace and gentleness.
With gratitude,
Alchemist Iris
