"In the Garden" is a spiritually inspired song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and included on his 1986 album "No Guru, No Method, No Teacher". The song contains a line which gives the album its name: "No Guru, no method, no teacher/Just you and I and nature/And the Father in the garden." Some of the words also fall back to "Astral Weeks" territory with mentions of "childlike visions", "into a trance" and "in the garden wet with rain". It was a favorite live concert performance for several years and is based on a form of transcendental meditation according to Van Morrison which takes about ten minutes before a person can arrive at a degree of tranquility. [Hinton, Celtic Crossroads, p. 255]
