medicine path : coming into my own

spiritual plant path

2013 . this was the year my spiritual journey with the plants first began taking shape through working with Shamana Flora. it is also the year i was called to only utilize alcohol medicinally.

a shift within

2014 . as my shamanic herbal apprenticeship began, i simultaneously experienced the death of a close friend and then relative. this shifted my awareness, and the plants began speaking to me, or was it that i had just began to hear them? actually, it was a death i experienced 9 years earlier that put me fully onto my spiritual path. my life forever changed.

eyes to see, ears to hear

2015 . heart rhythm meditation came into my life, and my focus was caring for the plants on the land here. learning more about them and the wild ones. i was called to discontinue my use of commercially produced tobacco, and in that same year, mullein showed up all along the pathway leading to my front door – it is a medicine for the lungs. there is an old folk medicine saying, “the medicine you need grows near you.” well, i believe that saying holds truth. my dear soul dog lost her vision, and i almost lost her too. thankfully, i had the plants on hand, and the guidance of a beloved soul sister to help see her through. Ember gave me eyes to see, and ears to hear. my relationship with the plants was evolving.

the wise woman way

2016 . i spent much of the year helping others, and neglected to do so for myself. i ignored the signs i was given, and eventually it caught up with me. (apparently, i am human after all.) there was a need for nourishment and strengthening. finding balance. i returned to my self care practices and incorporated new ones. i found the Wise Woman Way. through this healing journey, my relationship with the plants deepened, and i returned to nature. this was my lesson, to heal my self with the medicine of the earth.

journey home

2017 . a year of deep soul healing through working with Rose Alchemy to heal ancestral patterns and core wounds on a path to self mastery. all the while there was another aspect to this journey – searching for a new home. after the go around we had, it seems as though where we are is exactly where we need to be for the time being. the path of healing lead me home to self. heart is where the home is. i also began my studies with the School of Evolutionary Herbalism. i resonate so deeply with the teachings, and their bridging of knowledge in a language my heart understands.

seeing the pattern . healing the heart . mother earth

Present . two months ago i lost my soul dog. i realize now that through each experience of loss, a part of my self experienced a sense of death as well. pieces of my soul had to experience death in order to be reborn on the plant path. the path of light. this is what my soul needed to experience in order for me to arrive here in this moment. to go deep within and heal my heart. to rise from the ashes and do my part. working with plant medicine and mother earth.

blessings be.

healing way

herbs & nutrition, spiritual connection

i have become familiar in ways of working with plant medicine preventatively and in healing from exposure to environmental toxins – creating plant essences, natural remedies, and herbal medicine. i also work with food as medicine to heal and support the body system. although, there is another aspect of working with the earth in healing spiritually and emotionally – this is where my relationship came to be prior to working with her physically. water is one of my first memories of a connection to nature, from there i followed a path of working with mother earth.

self taught. hands + heart

mostly i have learned through experience, and self study from those who are in the healing community, including the plants. i learn by working with my hands, and my heart. i learn through experience, inner knowledge and intuition, guided by wisdom and trust. creating essences and natural healing medicines, energywork, preparing nourishing foods or simply being in nature to calm the spirit and realign to a higher vibration have become my ways of healing. i am always learning. i am forever a student of nature.

foundational healing

as we come to the end of a cycle, i am feeling this on a much deeper level, for in the last year i have been on a path of conscious healing. it seems as though the layers that have released energetically, have come to the surface to be released physically. i have been reminded just how important it is to nourish the mind, body and spirit. fortunately, i have the foundation, and tools that are needed for this journey of physical healing. this experience also gifted me with the opportunity to learn more about my self and the medicines. taking it one day at a time, incorporating one thing at a time, and being aware of the bodies natural response and cycle in the healing process. taking it slow, nurturing and gently caring for my self, allowing for everything to happen in its own time. in gratitude.

circle of light

everything i have learned up until this point in time has come full circle in helping to guide me back to a balanced state of health and well being – emotionally, physically and spiritually. thankful for mother nature and traditional healing. a home to take the time to heal, come back to center in. its all relative. namaste.
