Plants I’ve Known And Loved
It is May and plants and trees go mad producing leaves, buds and flowers. Not only are they blossoming on every possible level outside in your natural habitat; they teach and heal and have messages for you when you come for a psychic bodywork or reading session.
I’ve always had strong connections with the plant kingdom; over the years their energy have come through in lucid dreams and I’ve met plant spirits in my wakeful state too. As a 17 year old, I bought a Poinsettia to communicate with. My mother had some time before introduced me to the Findhorn Foundation through their books and I wanted to have real contact with a plant too. It worked, we had a nice relationship which ended in a natural way (I forgot to water it after placing it in the garden in the spring. Sorry Poinsettia).
I was 34 and detected a “weed” in my front yard. It was a Plantain and I felt I had to give it extra attention in the form of sending it loving vibes. We had something going on together and I felt all my efforts were rewarded, at least that was my interpretation of it growing almost as tall as I was. It’s multiple petaled small flower looked like a diamond crown on a fairy’s head.
Plant Spirits come to your aid during psychic bodywork sessions and readings – from Roses to Grass, from Oak Trees to Tulips. When they make themselves known you may recognize them instantly because they address something you deep down inside know so very well. During a psychic reading Plant Spirit brings a certain characteristic to light or it gives you an indication where the Plant Spirit can be used as energy medicine for your emotional, physical or spiritual needs.
Himalayan Balsam was an invasive plant in a garden I had a long time ago. I had to have stern words with it. It was taking over part of my front yard and I don’t think my neighbours were very happy with it either. When I asked it to keep itself a bit in check and please do not spread much beyond where it was now, I had no idea that it would actually listen. That summer season it did hardly spread and within the next two years it was gone from my garden.
In hindsight, I would have done better to also look into what the invasive plants in my garden meant to me. I’m an impatient person, certainly 20 years ago, so what did the Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens) wanted me to know about myself? Patience? Growth? Abundance? Paying attention to my neighbours?
So when plants come through in your reading pay attention and listen to what they have to say to you through their image and their presence, preferably in relationship to you. Sometimes the plant helps you in reconnecting to an almost forgotten part of yourself which then may provoke deep releasing feelings of sadness, waves of joy and oodles of love.
