*Space and Sound*
What is the sound that first sounds in a space? What words or song do we first share after silence?
When we gather together as a group of people, there is a powerful potential arising from just us coming together with the same intention. The words we share matter. The sounds we make matter. The receiving ears matter. Our voices and images. They are the first to express in matter our thoughts and dreams. They are the spell. The start of creation.
It is through this channel that Plants communicate with us. When we make silence in ourselves, we are able to hear them, their vibration. This is how we can find the plants we need, and create potent medicines, not only with their active ingredients, but also with their most delicate blueprint.
Whats more, in South America, maestros sing the "icaros", singing the vibrations of the plants through singing prayers. These songs activate the medicine of plants in our bodies. They are part of the medicine.
When I make herbal medicine, I love to say a few words to the plants, I sometime sing. I pray the beauty of the plant, I say out loud her beauty. Because naming the beauty of a plant opens our heart and allows us to already receive her medicine.
In my upcoming Herbal Medicine Retreat, we'll be getting into the fabulous world of plant communication, to make vibrant herbal medicine. With my dear friend and musician Matthew Pike on board, we'll also be exploring how sound and vibration activate the medicine of plants in us, opening to deeper healing.
