Recently, my friend Carda Carqueca ,
asked me what my heart feeling/ knowing about how plants heal is. Please find my answer below. Also, the whole series with other healers is up on her Instagram page @lafarmaciavegetal.A question of many layers, but also very simple. My heart feeling/knowing is that plants cannot possibly heal only physically because nothing is only physical. To reduce everything to the physical, tangible layer is exactly part of the difficulty.
However, we do certainly have a body and are having a physical experience. This is another difficulty, no? The idea that the physical body is somehow less relevant than the spiritual/ etheric bodies. So much depends on us releasing the densities( the programs/overlays) and inhabiting our physical Being completely. To remember that we are of the Earth, that we belong on the Earth and are more closely related to trees than most people are aware of.
So many have been habituated to the idea that things must have a name, a category, a neat little box in which to compartmentalize. This is not the way of nature. Nature is flow and synergy. Perhaps seemingly chaotic to the forced linear mind but actually in perfect order.
This is all to say that my heart knowing about how plants heal is through their light and consciousness- their frequency. Their innate wisdom, which they share with the practitioner as well as the person who needs assistance. To work on the level most needed, be it physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.
I also feel that a plant’s capability to facilitate healing does also depend on the practitioner. Did they listen to the plant? Did the plant choose to be used in this manner? How was it prepared? Where was it grown- wildcrafted, cultivated, etc…
As a perfumer, I primarily work on the subtle bodies. Less so the physical. But, of course, shifting at those levels creates a shift in the physical. And I feel this is the true healing capacity of essential oils, absolutes and incense- that opening and clearing that happens in the subtle bodies via the sense of smell. This does not apply to conventional/commercial perfumery which uses synthetic scent chemicals- those have a deleterious effect.
And then, after all of that, I wonder if just sitting and absorbing in a field of sun and lavender would heal everything.
