Healing Plant Connections - Pine

Imagine you are in a Pine forest.

Take a deep breath in, and out.

Aahhh!

How do you feel?

Maybe your heart feels lighter, your lungs clearer.

Maybe your perception has shifted.

If you are able to get out and spend time with a Pine tree in person, you may experience these effects and more.

Pine helps us connect in with our hearts, and deepen our inner peace. And Pine helps us to understand how – no matter what is happening personally or in the world – that everything is okay and unfolding just as it is meant to. This isn’t to say that we should bypass or ignore the difficult realities of the world. And it doesn’t mean we should not take action or initiate change. It is, rather, an infusion of deep acceptance, as a means to restore peace within, so that one has the power to step up and lead in the ways they are called to do in this lifetime.

In this video, I’ll share a bit about the medicine of Pine and then we will journey to restore peace within. Enjoy, and if you’d like to share your experience you can do so in the comments below or on YouTube.

Healing Plant Connections - Oak

Each month, I walk with one healing plant.

What does that mean? To walk with a plant?

It means connecting with the spirit of the plant, and getting to know this plant from many angles. It’s becoming familiar with the medicine of the plant through direct experience, spending time with the plant, meditating with them, ingesting them, and doing research on them.

Whether I already know this plant or not, it is always the same. In putting my attention on this one plant I deepen my awareness of them and strengthen my connection with them.

Like developing intimacy with a very good friend.

I share what I discover in all of the courses that I lead, from the Dream Circle to INFUSE.

I also share the wisdom of these plants in the MINKA Self-care Portal, which I highly recommend!

By joining you’ll get exclusive access to workshops and first looks at content that MINKA practitioners share – and there are a lot of great offerings on there, including Breathwork, Yoga, Reiki, Meditation, and more from amazing practitioners.

Last month on the platform, I shared about Oak medicine.

In the following video, you’ll learn about Oak’s connection with:

• doorways and portals

• thunder gods

• druids

• healing wounds

• and much more

You’ll also get to journey with the spirit of Oak, the warrior tree of the primeval forest.

I’d love to know how it lands for you. Please share your experience in the comments below or on YouTube.
