| What is Plant Spirit Medicine? |
This is a wonderful healing modality that uses the Chinese Five Element Theory. The foundation of this theory is that the elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood correspond to respective organ systems. The practitioner determines the element in most need of balance, and then brings in the spirit of a plant or plants to assist in the healing process. Healing at the spirit level is the deepest kind of healing possible.
The goal is for balance and harmony to be restored in the body over the course of a treatment plan. Similar to the analogy of planting a garden, the healing process can take time for the seeds to be planted, germinated, and to burst forth from the earth in their full glory.
A wonderful resource for more information is the book " Plant Spirit Medicine" by Eliot Cowan. |
