Welcome to Module 8 of your healing journey: healing for liberation. This is our last energetic stop before closing our container! And still, this is only the beginning of our healing spiral. We reach the cosmic realms only to sweep back into the energetic centers below to continue the flow of healing. We are in a continuous spiral of healing, in part because we are earth-bound, and in part because creator made it this way. Healing is a process, not an outcome. Healing for liberation is too a process, and not an outcome. During this module we release to the best of our abilities to become one with spirit, one with ourselves, and live in surrender to our soul's journey. We surrender, integrate lessons, release fear, revisit lessons, and spiral whole all at once. Welcome to the energetic center where the medicine of our liberation lives.

Self-healing practice #3
PLANT CONNECTIONS
All healthy relationships grow from self-reflection and open communication. Before our next gathering:
Ask your NOURISHING HERB
Ask your BLESSING HERB
Ask your DIGESTIVE HERBS
Ask your HEART HERBS
Ask your THROAT HERBS
Ask your NERVOUS SYSTEM HERBS
Ask your HEART
if you would like to continue the journey working with them.
Allow tension to exist. Some times we need to work with the emotions, energies, plant ancestors that bring us the most discomfort, for here lies the medicine of our psychic surrender and deep physiological realignment.
If you have a clear INVITE AN ANOTHER plant ancestor to nourish your journey welcome the change. You will have the opportunity to do this at the end of each month. The intention is to commit to building an intimate relationship with at least 1 nourishing herb and bless herb. Nourishing herbs can only do their work through long-term commitment, our physical body takes a bit to acclimate, purge, and then assimilate nutrients
FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE SOME FURTHER GUIDANCE.
Some times the plants share tons and tons of info or many want to journey with us at a time. Remember I am here to sort through the messages with you.

Allow your body to rest the best you can.
Meditate asking, Ancestor what practices have we worked with to connect to SPIRIT aka sacred ONENESS? I ask you to show one with clarity. May my hands and heart know what to do when it's time for me to remember.
