Building a relationship with plants begins with honouring that all sentient beings have a spirit. This is one of the concepts that underpins animism. Animism is the concept that all things have a spirit. If we allow our intuition to guide us, we are able to communicate with these spirits. When we begin to see the world in this way, we begin to realise and recognise the spirit in all things, and also the spirit within plants.

They communicate with us in their own subtle ways. With their colours, their shades, their textures, their shapes and beauty. Yet if we tune into their spirit, we may be able to receive feelings, visions, sounds or messages from them as well.

This is when a two-way street of communication can really be opened up between two living beings – you and the plant! In this way, the plant may begin to share wisdom with you that might not have been possible by just looking at it. The plants have so much wisdom to share on so many levels. They may share the wisdom of their lives and years on this planet. They may share what emotions or life lessons they are good at supporting with. And they may even share messages and reflections for you on your own life.

We can’t possibly know how or what they will share with us, but the first step in this relationship is to honour the spirit in all things. See them as another being that you are able to communicate with, not just look at or eat. And as you develop
your intuition and connection to the energetic or spiritual realms, it may become easier to tune in to the spirit and energy of plants and their messages for you.

The plants have so much to say, you may not even be able to shut them up once this doorway opens! I find that, like all beings, plants may sometimes also just want some love and connection too. So I encourage you today, to go and connect with a plant that you are drawn to. Then with permission from the plant, see if you can begin to feel their energy. Ask yourself, what feelings are they bringing up within me and my body

Message from the Peppermint Spirit

I am a very chatty plant spirit, that brings in the energy and refreshing wisdom of a fresh perspective. With my fiery, uplifting aroma, I help to shake up old and stagnant energy, patterns and ways of being. Allowing you a fresh perspective on your life and everything within it. When we have a fresh perspective, we are given the wisdom of choice. Do you want to stay where you are? Do you like the beliefs that shape your reality? Do you want something different for your life moving forward? These are a few of the questions I can help to bring in, with my fresh outlook on life.

When you see your life through a fresh set of eyes, it can be the instigator for change, allowing in new energy. I help you to grow towards all that you are, allowing for a life review, a reassessment of priorities, and sometimes a redirection.

It is a time of great change. It is a time to look at the choices available to us and remember that we have the power to choose what is right for us, even though it may not feel like it sometimes. I bring with me the energy of empowerment as I bring fresh energy to the forefront in all the different areas of your life.

I am an instigator of change, yet I also love to uplift and encourage. When energy becomes stagnant it can get stuck at a lower vibration, as the mundane routine begins to set in. I encourage this energy to be shifted, transmuted through my fiery energy, and uplifted to what has been awaiting you. I bring in higher vibrational energies and help to raise the frequency, supporting you with bringing in more love and fresh energy into your heart and being. I can also support the throat chakra and help with communication as I get energy moving. I encourage you to have clear communication and clear boundaries in your life. These boundaries will naturally drop in through this fresh perspective and getting clear on your needs. I help you to communicate those needs to those around you. I encourage you today to look at your life with a fresh set of eyes and really begin to see what needs to change. Change up your routine, do things differently, dance!

Do things that shift stagnant energy while I support you in this endeavour of fresh pastures.

Kinesiology – Acupressure

Apply me to your heart 3 acupoint – located on the inner point of the crease of your elbow (closest to your body when your palm is faced towards the sky). I will help to bring fresh energy into your heart centre, allowing for your heart’s desires to be realised and supporting you with the empowerment needed to create lasting change. This point is the water point for the hearts, allowing in more flow, and this point helps to combat the feelings that come along with being afraid of being unloved. It helps to open the heart up to love and the flow of life.

Ritual

Place peppermint essential oil on your hands and move it all around your energy field as you write a list of all the areas/environments of life you are feeling stagnant in. In those areas of life, write down where you feel stuck and how you want things to change (the outcome). Then place some peppermint oil on or near your heart, (it may burn so if you have sensitive skin then don’t put it directly on the skin), and ask your heart to help guide you to this change, for it to come in with ease and grace, and for you to flow to where you need t o be.
