Plant Communication
Open a deeper dialogue with the plants around you. In this video we’ll explore how to start receiving profound insight and healing from these denizens of the green world. I’ll go over the three things that you’re gonna have to throw in the compost bin in order to starting communicating with plants. And lay out a step-by-step practice for opening a direct channel with a plant so that you can become aware of the most profound knowledge of all—what your own medicine is.
This lesson is a moving one. Even though I have watched this video many times, there is still a part where, without fail, I cry every single time. Can you guess when? (Just goes to show you that we all need reminders.)
Inquiring minds want to know… which plant did you choose (Or which plant chose you?). What did it tell you? Let me know in the comments below! What movements are you feeling inside you today?
what’s the last video? I don’t think I received it in my email!
Hi Tracy! Thank you for being here with us. You can find the last video here. In case you would like to have a looks at it, looks like that email was sent you on Dec. 16th. I hope that helps, and am wishing you much beauty and connection through this journey!
Hello, Asia! Thank you for walking us through the steps of this wonderful assignment. I was drawn to a pair of beautiful towering trees while walking in the hot afternoon sun near my home a few days ago. Their trunks were slender and tall and it looked like they have been there for a while. I stood in awe at how beautifully grounded they are. Tall, regal and humbly proud. A sanctuary from the heat and a rest stop for the birds. A native spirit of the land – so at home and a home in itself.
As I looked up at its foliage, I saw a leaf spiral down and picked it up. Its veins were horizontal and the first thing that came to my mind was that they looked like a book holding valuable, timeless messages. I brought three fallen leaves home and placed them on my altar. I am loving connecting to the essence of the tree but indeed, I do still feel silly when I feel like talking to them – especially in a city where it is hard to find a place of solitude.
As I meditated upon the tree entering my heart space, I felt a rod of solid rootedness running through me – pulsing with the energy of the earth, a conduit of its beauty in its truest and rawest form. I tried looking up the the tree and I’m not completely sure but it looks like a type of Alstonia, also known as pulai in Indonesia and Malaysia.
Thank you for your loving reminder that we are enough as we are. 💜 It can be hard to feel like I am in the right place and worthy enough to connect to plants in a busy city in this part of the world.
Hi Madhu, Shannon from the team here. Thank you for sharing this beautiful connection with your tree, and your experience with these teachings. You have such an intuitive sense for it’s qualities and energies, and I’m struck by that solid rootedness and regal, proud nature that you describe—these feel truly medicinal and meaningful amidst that suggestion from the wider culture that your own connection to the earth might be “silly.” It’s as if the tree wants to help awaken an awareness of your own belonging, solidity, humble pride, and connection to the Earth.
And what a gift to sense the leaves as books containing wisdom! That’s a truly beautiful understanding, and feels affirming of the truth that your altar space is a wonderful, private “library” in which to connect when it does not yet feel as comfortable in public. Thank you again for connecting, and sharing the richness of these interactions. On behalf of Asia and our team, you are so worthy, and we are so glad to be on this journey with you 💜
