Plant Spirit Medicine

This book is a journey into the healing wisdom of plants exploring, as Larry Dossey remarks, the intrinsic unity and connectedness of all living things. It is an animistic vision in which plants speak to humans. The original edition of this dates back nearly 20 years, and readers are introduced to many of the author's remarkable experiences. In the second part of the book, the reader engages with the elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood and they're asking questions to explore in relation to each of these, many of which are essentially about how we feel about ourselves and life. The third part records a number of interviews with plant shamans, among whom is Bertha Grove, who presents a simple and profound view of life where she no longer rushes around in a hurry but rather takes each day as it comes, living and enjoying life in a spirit of gratitude.
