Transform Health: Plant Spirit Medicine #2

Plant Spirit Medicine #2

Nov 19, 2021

What is Plant Spirit Medicine? Join speaker Diana Sproul as she describes plant spirit medicine as explained in Eliot Cowan's book of the same name. Plants, trees, rain, lightning and the Chinese elements (like water, metal, earth) are each represented by a consciousness. These may appear through meditation or dreaming in human, animal, insect or other form. Healing an imbalance or lack of a certain element in a person’s spiritual make-up and life can help a person become well and whole again without addressing the illness itself. The book is highly recommended.

The author says that is ordinary, and that all of us can learn to do what he does. Author Eliot Cowan trains students at the Blue Deer Center in New York state (http://www.BlueDeer.org). On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bluedeercenter
