In this guide to sacred plant initiations, medical herbalist and shamanic practitioner Carole Guyett explains how to commune with plants and their spirits through the traditional shamanic method of "plant dieting." A plant diet involves ingesting a particular plant over a period of time so you regularly receive the plant's vibratory energy as well as its medicinal actions. Adding a ceremonial element to plant dieting offers a sacred initiation by the plant world, allowing you to connect deeply with all aspects of a plant, receive its sacred teachings, and forge a relationship for guidance and healing, benefitting both yourself and others. Each of the eight ceremonial plant initiations detailed in the book was personally developed by the author through extensive work with her ceremonial groups. They each center on an easily recognized plant or tree such as primrose, dandelion, oak, and dog rose. These common plants have powerful teachings and healing guidance to share with those who communicate with and honor them. The initiations, for both individuals and groups, work with the Wheel of the Year, honoring each plant's sacred timing and connecting with one of the eight Celtic and Pre-Celtic Fire Festivals--the solstices, equinoxes, and the holy days of Beltane, Lughnasadh, Samhain, and Imbolc. Offering practical instructions so you can develop your own sacred plant initiations, the author also include access to 4 audio journeys to facilitate the initiations in the book. She also explains how to make plant elixirs for use in plant diets and for healing. She shows how connecting with plants allows us to deepen our relationship with Nature, access higher levels of consciousness and spiritual realms, and facilitate the full flowering of human potential.

A step-by-step guide to Plant communication. Everyone has an innate ability to consciously communicate with Plants. As Jen Frey reveals in depth, if we are willing to listen, we can hear the Plants speaking to our Hearts and teaching us how to heal. With the support of our Plant allies, we can be our truest selves and remember our intrinsic wholeness. Presenting a step-by-step guide, Frey shows how to awaken your ability to directly receive the unique wisdom and healing gifts that the Plants want to offer you. Exploring how communicating with Plants is more like a communion than an exchange of words, she describes how the primary language we share with Plants is through the Heart, and she shows how Plant communication brings an expansion of Heart intelligence and emotional growth. She explains the synergistic process of moving into intimacy with a Plant Spirit and shares how the Plants help us overcome anxiety, grief, fears, and limiting beliefs and teach us to trust, forgive, embrace self-love, and enjoy the sweetness of life. Sharing teachings she has received from a variety of Plants such as Yarrow, Mugwort, Maple, Dandelion, Poison Ivy, and Japanese Hops, Frey follows each Plant ally’s wisdom with a step-by-step activity or practice that allows you to actualize the teaching in an immediate way. She includes both native and invasive Plants because the concept of “invasive” is alien in the context of Plant Spirits and each of them has valuable lessons to share. She concludes with Tulsi, showing how this Plant is essential to helping us recover our sacred nature, especially in a time of great Earth changes. Through the skills taught in this guide, we each can connect our Hearts with the wisdom of Plant Spirits, have support and guidance whenever we need it, and learn new ways of living in a co-creative partnership with Nature.
