Each plant has a unique energy signature. Not surprisingly, the energy signature of a plant touches us emotionally when we connect with it.
Let me say that a different way. If you are in touch with a particular plant, you will feel its energy in your body.
This feeling is important for many reasons. How a plant is used by humans has much to do with the kinds of feelings it brings up in people.
It’s no accident that a yellow rose signals friendship, or that a red one is given to express love. There’s no surprise in chamomile showing up in a bedtime tea, or finding mint enlivening a julep. You don’t have to think too hard about a willow being weeping, or a prickly pear cactus being prickly.
The idea of this little exercise is to see if you can name the feelings you get from individual plants in your garden, your home, or your neighborhood park.
Get in touch with each plant through your senses. Then see if you can connect even deeper. Try to feel its energy. Notice what’s showing up in your body. Be with that a moment and experience it fully.
The energy signature of a plant touches us emotionally. It may take some practice, but it’s well worth the effort. You’ll be developing your relationship with Nature. That way, when you ask for guidance about a certain plant – what you can do for it or what it can do for you – at least you’ll know who you’re talking with!
