Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness

I like this book. The reviews I like mention similar books, so I do that here.  There Are No Incurable Diseases: Dr. Schulze's 30-Day Cleansing & Detoxification Program , School of Natural HealingHerbal Home Health Care , Herbal Healing for Women , Complete Medicinal Herbal (Natural care)  can round this out, on the herbal side. For the Shamanic side,  The Physics of Miracles: Tapping in to the Field of Consciousness Potential , Redneck Shaman , The Future Is Yours: Do Something About It!  are useful. There is a Sufi story about moths, and the only moth that really understands the candle is the one who gives himself totally to the light, and the light gives itself to him. This applies to shamanic work. Shamanic techniques work from the larger self, especially in service to others. Shamanism means working with the subconscious, and at times superconscious minds. It cannot be apprehended by the conscious mind, the ego. Without service, many things just don't work, or work only slightly.  Whispers of the Ancients: Native Tales for Teaching and Healing in Our Time  gives you some idea of how very different native storytelling is, and stories shape the Universe. Indigenous life, for which these techniques go hand in glove, can be approximated from  Journey to the Ancestral Self: The Native Lifeway Guide to Living in Harmony With Earth Mother, Book 1 (Bk.1)  These are very good basic books, to getting out of the box of Western culture, into the much more fascinating 7 worlds of the spiritual traveller. Wong Kiew Kit's books on Chi Kung show how ideas like this survive in Chinese culture, and Chinese Herbal medicine has aspects very similar to these. Wisdom of the Earth, by Barry Kapp, goes into similar ideas. Amazon doesn't have it in stock, though.

Pam Montgomery's book, Plant Spirit Healing is a beckoning portal, welcoming readers to embark on an infinite journey to restore our bonds to that which is natural, whole and healing. Montgomery takes the reader well beyond "using" plants - or their spirits - as medicine, and into a realm where we enter into relationships with plants' amazing sentience, uniting with their healing capacities on a body, soul and spirit level. We learn that as we do, we can go beyond an herbal protocol, and merge into becoming healing itself.The information in this book is age-old and timeless, but Pam presents the accumulated wisdom in a way that can still the skeptic in our minds, broaden our perception, and nourish our confidence in our intuitive prowess. Pam teaches us that it is all people's natural birthright to be in relationship with nature, and that through developing kinship with plants - the very beings which sustain all other life forms on our globe - we in turn blossom into an existence that restores our ability to walk a sustainable, healthy, and soulful life path which we were meant to walk.As a student of the plants for two decades, I've encountered a number of remarkable teachers and authors who share inspiring knowledge and personal experiences. Pam is the brightest blossom among my human teachers. I believe this is a direct reflection of her own close affinity with the plant spirits with whom she co-exists on a daily basis. Her approach is infectious. Pam's teachings are like a Holy Trinity of truths, a Triple Goddess treasure trove, a healing balm for our wounded hearts, souls and spirits. With a contagious exuberance of a young maiden gathering flowers in a summer meadow, Pam entices others to open their own child-like hearts so we can delight in life's nectar. Like a dedicated mother, with a spirit of compassion and driven by an inherent ambition to help humans raise their consciousness on behalf of all life, Pam's mature and practical approach satisfies our adult demand for practicality and groundedness. Like an ancestral grandmother, Pam's words engulf us in an embrace of ancient wisdom that reach into the parts of our souls that have remained connected to source energy.I recommend reading this book, and more so, recommend living this book.

This is a must for anyone wondering about whether plants are intelligent and what they can do. In non ordinary reality plant spirits are a very important part of our evolution of consciousness, according to many researchers in the field of shamanism. Did you know that plants proceeded all forms of animals as evolution developed on this planet. And there is every indication that they reached high level of intelligence just like animals (including man) but before them. Did you know that plants make up 99% of the biomass of this planet? Have you ever seen a picture of what a plant "spirit" looks like.Well, these are all things this book brings to the front and if this is of interest to you then this is the book for you. It is well written and combines science and esoteric mysteries and attempts to look at the many facets of plants and how they are and might be able to heal humans even more when attention is put onto their ability to communicate with us. They are waiting, are you up to it?.

This author was recommended to me by a well known plant healer who lives in my hometown in Florida. While Pam brought me to tears as I read of her deep love and appreciation, I was left wondering what my next steps would be. Do these plants even grow in Florida? I'd never heard of a Hawthorne tree. Perhaps Pam could have offered something that would help lead the reader towards a discovery of regional plant lore, even a book recommended for such purpose.As a beginner I would say the photos were helpful and her depth of knowledge was overwhelming. A book I can go back to many times I hope.

Now on my third read of this book. If you are at all interested in plant spirit healing and want insight as to what it entails, meditations, how to begin your journey, this is a an awesome book. It has given me hope for the human race that people are reading books like this, interested in being a part of the world and not just manipulating it. I wish this book was taught to children as soon as they could read. I am forever grateful for books like these.

Maravilhoso

This book contains wisdom that, if you read it with an open heart, is undeniable. The perfect start to a journey toward the healing potential of the plant/human partnership.

Excellent. Take your time & enjoy.♡This book may assist you in deepening your relationships with plants. It is essential to understand that being a plant spirit healer is different than being a Shaman. I have studied with Pam and she is humble. She offers needed guidance in our modern world.Eliot Cowan's book is complementary to this one. Do read both. Talk to the plants all around you. They are listening.

brilliant pictures, challenges your world view

I loved this book.It was full of beautiful wisdom and practical advice for working with the plant spirit realm
