Plant Spirit Healing:working with Plant Consciousness

Rosemary Gladstar, Herbalist and Founder of United Plant Savers

"This is a profound work%u2026Written with a clarity and depth of understanding that only someone deeply attuned to their subject could master. Pam Montgomery, Herbalist and Plant Spirit practitioner, weaves together indigenous wisdom, modern research, science and quantum physics into a vibrant testament of the sacred and powerful nature inherent in plant medicine. One of the finest books written on the subject, PLANT SPIRIT HEALING challenges the limited perceptions we have of modern herbal and medical practices. But it does far more than that; it teaches one how to open the channels of the sacred that is so important in plant medicine, but that is too often forgotten in our modern healing rituals/practices. The powerful message transmitted through every page of this amazing book is bound to change our perception of herbal healing ~ and of medicine in general. Written with a fiery heart and tons of experience, Pam calls forth the soul of herbal medicine and rekindles the spirit inherent in the practice of herbal medicine.This book is a great book destined to become a classic."

"PLANT SPIRIT HEALING is a book about communicating with the spirits of plants, and enlisting plant spirits to heal. These are subjects of increasing importance and relevance in today's world, where ancient shamanism and modern spirituality are expanding our worldview. However, author Pam Montgomery goes beyond these remarkable themes, presenting a portrait or journal of what it is like to live immersed in a Natural World where plants, stones, and locations talk, signal, sing, educate, and heal. PLANT SPIRIT HEALING is an antidote to the modern world, which has been stripped of meaning, spirit, and relationship. Words like love, joy, spirit, and life can be abstractions, but here they are real."

"Pam's new book, PLANT SPIRIT HEALING, gets to the root of this profound way to wholeness - from modern physics to native tradition - then takes us through a growing process of learning and deepening our trust in connections with the loving power of the green world, and ultimately helps us create a flowering of this wonderful way of healing in our own lives and with our clients. In my mind, it is already a classic."

When I was a child, I spent my summers on my grandparents' farm in the eastern mountains of Kentucky. My Granny was a plant lover. Every afternoon, when her work was done, she would go out to her prolific gardens, where she picked and pruned, talking and muttering the whole time. One day I asked her who she was talking to and she said, "Plants are just like people, they need friends too, and when you talk to your flowers they grow better." This was the secret to her green thumb; she talked to her plants. I loved my Granny very much, and she made talking to plants seem natural so, of course, I accepted this reality wholeheartedly.

The greatest gift my Granny gave me was that of never having to question my birthright of communication with the natural world. I didn't have to unlearn some false paradigm imposed on me from powers that be. It was natural for me to think of plants having heart, soul and spirit because I was never taught anything else.

What I have learned over the years is that plants are vastly intelligent, multidimensional beings with tremendous capacity for healing at the source level.

My experience with plant spirits is evolutionary in nature; therefore, I am always learning something new. This ancient knowledge of the plant spirits is emerging within a new context appropriate for our times. The wisdom being shared by the plant spirits is both old and brand new - new stories, new paradigms and new ways of living on Gaia, our beautiful home.
