Plant Spirit Medicine
Plant Spirit Medicine is an elegant healing modality that is gentle yet effective for balancing dis-eases of Spirit, Mind and Body.
There are many different types of Plant Spirit Medicine. Clare and Jean studied with Eliot Cowan, author of Plant Spirit Medicine, and have found the method that they learned to be profoundly life changing. This is the method that they embrace when working with their clients and that will be taught in the Healer Training.
Engaging with the principles of Chinese 5 Element theory, drawing on Indigenous wisdom, and in relationship with Plant Spirits, the cycle of the seasons and understanding clients' needs, you will learn the skill of offering treatments that meet clients on the deepest spiritual level of healing.
What is a Plant Spirit Medicine Treatment like?
By Jean Bergstrom
Healing is an individual process and the course it takes can surprise us. You may come to me for a bad case of asthma and eczema and in the healing process you may realize that you are no longer stuck in grief over the loss of a dear friend and that your spiritual practice is deepening. Alignment with your true nature can touch spirit, mind and body, usually in that order. It can be deep.
How can Plant Spirit Medicine help me?
You may receive relief from a wide range of complaints with help from the plant spirits.
The physical – acne, asthma, eczema, digestive issues, crohn’s disease, GERD, sleep issues, low energy, compromised immune system, illness, disease, etc.
The emotional – anxiety, panic attacks, temper tantrums, disharmony,
sadness, grief, triggers, etc.
The spiritual – depression, unresolved grief, feeling lost, not feeling like yourself, past trauma, wanting to align with your true calling, etc.
What’s a treatment like?
Let’s meet for an intake. I want to learn about your life, what makes you tick and what brings you to this medicine. I work up a treatment plan and then we start our process. Each treatment usually begins with a chat, with deep listening on my end, and then I use the techniques of Five Element Acupuncture, one of which is pulse taking to assess what’s going on with your energy. I want you to feel safe in my practice and, so for many, it can be pretty relaxing when you climb up on the table for a treatment and when I channel the energy of the plants to help you.
As I get to know you better and the plants do their healing, I see that you too are a plant, a flower, blossoming. In this way I can refine my treatments to meet your needs. For this reason, I don’t recommend just one treatment, but rather that you commit to eight or ten treatments so that you can get the maximum benefit from this work.
Is Plant Spirit Medicine for you?
For twenty four years, I have been deepening my practice and learning from my teachers, colleagues, the plants and my clients. As a recipient of the medicine, I see how profoundly it has guided me in my life, it has helped me to be a better parent, partner, friend, teacher, mentor and healer. My work on this beautiful Earth is to walk upon it with care, compassion and purpose.
