plant wisdom

Now is the time to take charge and turn inward, to resist the urge to seek external stimulation and instead learn from our own inner wisdom and observe our emotional patterning for insights. I share the importance of staying neutral, being a leader and nourishing ourselves. I also provide a new list of flower essences for different types of needs that are arising this week and offer my favorite meditation program as a gift -- with 16-audio recordings designed to help you experience more calm, clarity and focus within minutes.

In this episode I talk to Sayer Ji about his new book calledRegenerate.We talk about how we as humans are essentially walking crystals - that we’re made of a liquid crystalline water with an infinite potential access to energy and nourishment available to us through sunlight, plants, herbs and healing practices. He describes the miraculous resilience within the body to be vibrant and healthy, even in today’s wild world.

In a country where one of the leading causes of death is properly prescribed medications, the fact that there are 200 years of recorded safe use (zero harm) of homeopathic medicine is incredibly meaningful.

Taylor and I set up the microphones in the Da'an Park in Taipei to do a special recording about what it’s like in to be in Taiwan. We answer questions submitted on social media about our travels, from food to flower collecting to what it feels like to be in the jungle and in another culture where we don't speak the language. We marvel at all the ways we love Taiwan, and reveal some of the craziness.

Taylor and I share stories from the magical and inspiring, to crazy and creepy, of what happens during our flower essence collection trips! Above all, the motivation behind all that we do, is not to see the world, it's to collect the transformative + healing essences from exotic flowers and all that Mother Nature has to offer ~ for the soul purpose of sharing something that is profoundly meaningful, sacred, and life changing!

We have with us the founder of Juniper Ridge: Hall Newbegin, who crawls around in mountain meadows and hits the forest trails, capturing the magic of special places around the United States.

Even though I work with flowers, in my heart of hearts, I’m really a girl of the forest. The aromas that Juniper Ridge collect bring me right back into the woods.
