Yay for plants and all their gifts to us! Our every need; food, clothing, shelter, fuel, and medicine are all unconditional offerings from plants. Plant Spirit Medicine (PSM) is one of these gifts. PSM is both, Plant SPIRIT MEDICINE and PLANT SPIRIT Medicine. In other words the PSM practitioner uses the spirit of plants to the spirit of a person back to complete balance. When out of balance at this level, people report such symptoms as an underlying sense of incompleteness, inertia, dissatisfaction, unhappiness and emptiness.
In this day and age the highest percentage of dis-ease is not dis-ease of the body or the mind but dis-ease of the spirit. Plant Spirit Medicine is a union of Classical Chinese 5 Element Medicine and Shamanism. The practitioner does a full Chinese medical diagnosis and, using their deep shamanistic relationship with plants, assists the patient to come into full balance and harmony on all levels. James duke…. A Taste of Plant Spirit Medicine An experiential Adventure!!!!!!! Tools: Wildflower Field Guide Colored Pencils Drawing Pad Tabacco or Corn Meal Towel or something to sit on. Go for a walk in nature. Find a plant that peaks your interest.
Approach the plant and introduce yourself, out loud, as if you were meeting a person for the first time. ( hello my name is Lance) Tell the plant you have come to develop a relationship with it and offer it some tabacco as an exchange. Then sit with the plant, observe it with every sense. Look at the plant, draw all the details, include the root the stem, leaves, flowers, etc. Smell the plant, feel and taste the plant (as long as it is not toxic.) give yourself as much time as you need. When you are finished, thank the plant. After the excersise sit quietly and reflect on your experience. What did you learn, how do you feel? Record your experience.
