Plant Spirit healing
What is Plant Spirit healing? It can be found at the sweet spot where herbalism, shamanism and energy healing meet.
It’s a gentle, yet powerful, holistic form of healing, with the only side effect being that it might heal a person on multiple levels at once.
We, as natural human beings are nature’s kin. This is the core reason for Plant Spirit healing being effective.
The foundation
The practitioner has to have an insight to what the person needs, or what the imbalance is, on a deep, energetic level. Mental and emotional tensions of a person create blockages in the chi energy flow throughout the (energy) body, which in turn manifest as discomfort or even illness.
The practitioner needs to have knowledge about plants and herbalism, in order to know where to look, and what to look for.
And they must know how to connect with the Spirit of a plant, and ask for its help, in an honest, reciprocal manner.
On the other side, people who already are very close to nature, living in and with nature, can see the problem, know what the solution is and have a clear vision on how to go about the situation, intuitively. These are the tribe healers and hedge witches around the globe. Next to having been born with the gift of intuitive sensitivity, they have practiced their art of observation, usually throughout their whole life.
Connection
A smooth transmission of information requires good connection.
Know thyself
I need to know when my vision is clear, and when it’s blurred by my ego being in one or another state (frustration, sadness, pride etc).
I need to know how to return to my clear sensory state, abandoning thought and expectation, and shifting my senses back to clear observation.
Know the Other
The other person, the one to be healed, is a part of my natural human family.
I approach them with gentle openness, curious to understand, guided by intuition and how the energy flows between us. Plant spirit healing, like energy healing, requires genuine loving care from me, and trust and allowing from the receiving part.
Understand how the body works
I’m not a medical doctor, but I am an (intermediate) herbalist. I know how our physical body works. When someone is telling me what is bothering them, I can sense what the cause-and-effect chain is. Plant spirit healing can be an excellent solution for chronic illnesses, since the root of a chronic condition is often a belief or habit that disturbs the healthy, repairing and regenerative energy flow that our bodies naturally have.
The most challenging part is having the open and honest conversation with the client about what is at the root of the matter, the part they need to confront. If we don’t change the internal setting, there’s no point in treating symptoms.
Thankfully, there are plants that help us to have courage, to accept, to forgive and to change as well. Plant spirit healing is a collaboration between the client, the practitioner and the plant spirits.
Embracing Plant Spirit healing
Plant Spirit healing is based on the relationship between the practitioner and the species of plant they want to work with. A true relationship exists only when there is respect and reciprocity, and as with all good things in Life, it too matures with time.
So how do I establish a good relationship with a plant?
As with anything and anyone else, we get to know each other. We get to understand about their likes and dislikes, their personality, get to know a bit more about where they come from and what their Home is like :)
I tend to the relationship, through meaningful conversation and care. Sometimes I bring gifts. I take care of the plant and I tidy its surroundings if I notice there’s something I can remedy.
There is a lot we can learn about a healing herb or a helpful tree just by spending time with it, observing its energy. I don’t have to open a book on healing herbs yet.
Only when I’ve come to my conclusion, and have a formula in mind, I open the books to confirm my impressions.
Plant spirit healing in practice
As in herbalism, one can make preparations of the healing plants. But it’s not always necessary.
More often than expected, just inviting the Plant Spirit to help someone, and inviting that someone to spend time with the species of plant(s) that come up as powerful helpers for their situation can be enough! There is an energy exchange taking place, and sometimes the plants become their teachers as well.
And THAT is the true superpower of Plant Spirit healing.
Plant spirit healing can be a part of a remote energy healing session. If you’d like to know more about the possibilities, just ask!
