Introduction to Working with Plant Folk
Burdock
Plants do not only possess a body that has specific compounds.
They also have a soul, and it should be addressed.
This should be used hand in hand with their physical properties.
Recent studies have shown that plants do respond to a person’s emotional state. So, it is important to be in a good state of mind as well as stating your purpose for harvesting the plant up front.
People used to wear plants as protection and healing amulets.
This is an internal method which focuses on the spirit of the plant, as it is not an internal application (tea) nor a topical application (salve).
This was meant to bring harmony to the entire energy field of the sick person.
The plant’s energy is absorbed by the person.
The plant can help the body remember how it feels when it is in balance and harmony with itself.
This encourages the body to achieve and maintain homoeostasis.
