“Time for rebalancing natures ways, strengthening our earth connection.”

Just like us humans, Herbs, Plants and Flowers are gifts of the earth, and part of our beautiful eco cycles. Our ancient wisdoms and relationship to herbs and remedies go back to the beginning of time, it is part of our wisdom and health that is not possible to be owned or taken from us.

I was recently talking to a fellow practitioner about the developments over the banning of Medicinal herbs and remedies, as she works with herbs in her acupuncture practice. At the end of the conversation there was mention of it coming down to power, with the large pharmaceutical companies attempt to control a market, people and their health.

But does this really have power over nature and peoples choices? These actions are structured around money control, and underlying that, born from fear, and not led from heart centred awareness. This is the very opposite of empowerment, therefore is not powerful.

My sense, and others in the healing community, feel that over time the herb ban will collapse, as developments born from the misuse of peoples empowerment and natures way, can not sustain themselves. We have choices, many of them, and these turning points are evolving us and the planet.

What we can all do to stimulate empowerment with this situation, is to very simply connect to our trees, plants, flowers, earth, (including the earth within us, our bodies), in a way that resonates to you as individuals or as a group collectively. Some suggestions:

• Spend time sitting with, or meditating with a favorite tree / place in nature.
• With a sense of appreciation, why not harvest the Elderflower this May and enjoy creating your own free medicinal cordial.
• Flower Power, put an image of a favorite herb or flower in your sacred space / home, and spend time enjoying its beauty and vibration.
• As a group, sing a song from your hearts and direct it to a chosen herb.
• Grow your own herbs!

These ways may seem simple, but it’s strengthening our connection, that can not be effected via the ban and the ill-balanced choices surrounding it.

We are all a gift to this earth, and the earth is a gift to us. Acknowledging this wisdom is empowerment, and will support the positive evolution on this issue.
