On a self care day I sunbake naked and steam to connect to my womb.

I used to think connecting to the wombspace was some new age enlightenment shakti goddess stuff. But I was judging it to protect myself from the reality that I was disconnected to my womb. Classic mind trick.

What does that even mean to be a woman disconnected from her womb?

It means I couldn’t feel my sexual energy fully, nor my own pleasure, nor the wisdom that connects me to my mother and grandmother. It means I was in my head and less in my body. And for good reason. As I have connected more through embodiment, there’s been what feels like a never ending void of grief available to me now. Yay.

Transpersonal grief as well as personal. Sometimes I feel the pain of Woman; persecuted, kept dependent, sold for her body to make sons for mankind, shamed, stoned, burnt, gas lighted as a crazy witch demon.

I have realised that Woman is a force to be feared and worshipped. She feels all, she deeply and intimately knows love and pain. She shape shifts. She lives inside a pleasure body. She speaks to the earth.

I think the ancient man feared her power, and created ways to keep her uneducated and of his husbandry. As we are coming home again, there is a lot of pain to feel. And I thank this modern man who holds her through it and adores her for it.

These plants will ask you to come into a different

These plants will ask you to come into a different mode of perception.

The answers you are seeking in your healing will not come from the top down. They will not trickle down from experts or from your mind. They are rising up in a truly shamanic way from the bottom up, from within each of us.

We are not the spiders in the web, we are just strands of the web.

I am asking you to re-imagine what health & sickness is. These plants are capable of moving you, and you are invited to let them move you.

When we are healing we are being asked to let go of something we have falsely identified ourselves with. Let yourself be movable, let your ideas be unfixed.

You are birthing your health every moment. What are you listening to? What are you feeding yourself?

I'm sharing this clip from my presentation on Entheogenic Herbalism at the @entheogenesisaustralis conference December 2022.

I am still feeling the thread of inspiration reach me here, a year or more on. It was an honour to share my way of seeing to many eager listeners and I hope to again one day.

I live a life of plants
They carry me through the dance
Awaken to the trance
The miracles never cease
The lessons don’t stack neat
The growth is real and messy
The pain weighs on us heavy
The love that rises through
Carries me back to you

As I’ve been reflecting on healing, of course I’ve been going through my own. If you ever think you’ve got it - you’re at the moment before you lose it.

Health to me is my baseline, my centre point, my true beingness. I’m constantly oscillating with it & through it. Sometimes I rest at the centre for a while, before another constellation around the sphere of myself returns me to motion. Call it the stars, the moon, the seasons or the Gods; this is actually the journey of Love.

This is what love feels like. At times it’s being held in the gaze of the sacred with such a gravity that one is rooted unmovable as if we were the Earth itself. More often than not it’s a river flowing through all the parts of us that we have abandoned along the way.

Those moments of shame & loneliness that we collect along the way are then refelt, and more than that they are reimagined into the present with new perpetrators, protagonists & usually the same victim (ourselves). It’s hard to digest; love. It bathes all of us, asks all of us, it does not discriminate. And when we are broken it becomes the golden joinery of the Kintsugi pottery, mosaics of shattered clay sealed with gold in the cracks of ourselves.

And the way love teaches can be just so awfully annoying and inconvenient. I ask, “Why must I love these parts of myself”, when I am caught in the grips of shame. Love highlights not just the shame but the avoidance, the blame and ultimately if we look long enough, love softly enough, the untruths we tell ourselves. Shame is more than doing something regretful, it’s being someone regrettable. It is the heavy anchor sinking in the middle of my chest preventing me from speaking to how I feel, believing I am the problem rather than facing the problem.

Thankfully with the right amount of Love, we can bit by bit begin to digest who we are & realise what we are made of. It’s important to bathe in the sunlight for those precious moments of stillness & perfection, before continuing on the Long Walk Home, for there will be many pieces we find abandoned along the way.

This is me, walking home, and remembering how very lost I’ve been.

THE SAP ::: I have wisdom within The sap/resin of

THE SAP ::: I have wisdom within

The sap/resin of a plant is the water canals that run through the entire organism, a force deep within the body that permeates all. These solid feeling structures that make up our bodies are animated by water. Without it we become dry & lifeless.

Water can put out fire, move earth, uproot wood, & wear metal. It has lunar qualities, embraces darkness, can sit in stillness like an ocean cave or motionless lake, can roar like a raging rapid or crash like a tsunami. It has a way of finding the deepest channel to run through whilst moving as one body that can segment into infinite bodies. It can take the form of solid, vapour or liquid. The water is a shapeshifter; the most mysterious of all.

The quality of water available will dictate our health. Like the sap of a tree or the blood of a body, if the water is clean, health will follow as water delivers nutrients to where it needs to go. Water also delivers toxicity to the organisms & landscapes that purify such as the ocean’s bottom feeders or the kidneys & bladder. In this way, water is a vessel of receptivity to be filled with life.

When life split from the origin of source the Monad became the Dyad. Yang is a primal & original expression of Fire, whereas Yin is Water, 2 elements forever entangled in a balancing act. Water is the container & river of blood itself, fire is the heat & warmth of energy pumping through that blood from the heart. Fire is the attraction of the sexual organs & the yearning for life to create, Water is the container of the womb that life grows in, the inherited Jing or genetic life force buried within our DNA.

In the I-Ching Water is the inverse of Fire, with hollow edges and a solid centre, called ‘The Abysmal’, characterised by the drawing of energy inward & downward.

There is a holographic aspect to the Water - it holds the vibration of the entirety within it. The health of the river IS that of the ecosystem. The health of the ocean IS that of the planet. The egg & sperm of a human hold these qualities as well.

When I look at the surface of the Water I see a reflection, but when I dive below the surface there is another story of whale song below.

M A P A C H O

The jungle tobacco - not to be breathed in just to be breathed through. The roots are so deep and grounding. The rich brown leaves ages and cured. When worked with as smoke the space clears, the mind clears, the path forward presents and can be read like a book of knowing. Offerings are made to the elder trees and at the places we meet and sit for ceremony.

And everywhere we go, the tobacco smoke has been whisping through the airs. At which point were we human separate to our relationship with plants? It is not a thing.

Out breathe, I let go of there
In breathe, I arrive here

THE FLOWER ::: I am abundant A flower is a self c

THE FLOWER ::: I am abundant

A flower is a self contained collection of reproductive material able to seed the future. It’s role is to attract. It does this from an ancient primal place where the origins of beauty live. The dance of creation is an expression of Fire, where life is sparked from within, and birth created out of an incantation.

The primordial fire is the light that reaches back to the birth of the universe. Spirit cast into motion. It expresses, it moves, it enchants, it desires, it loves. This is the function of a flower, and it can be likened to our own sexual organs, but even more so to our hearts and the seat of consciousness within us. When life split from the origin of source, the Monad became the Dyad and yin & yang birthed. Yang is the primal and original expression of fire, whereas Yin is water.

The fire dances and enchants, it beats our very hearts. It is through this warmth that our bodies are animated with spirit, blood and rich redness. The fire is our culture and expression - the very act of engaging in it creates more of itself. It is the songs we lose ourself to and the dance that dances us. Without it, I wonder why we are here at all? What’s it all about if not for the pure expression of our creative life force bubbling out of us? Fire wakes us up in the morning. It is the child yearning to grow up & discover. It is the initiatory rituals that burn lessons into us & make us who we are.

In the I-Ching, the Fire trigram is also called The Clinging, and represented by solid outside lines, and a hollow centre for the air current to fuel the fire that must cling to the wood. For Fire to thrive, like a flower, it needs others. It needs to resource itself from the bees & insects, from the wind & wood, and requires an attractive quality to summon its needs.

Flowers are pure beauty & attraction that ignite feelings inside our hearts. They motivate healing. They encourage loving. And through this outward expression volcanoes erupt & the genetic information of life itself recreates and re-experiences itself. Life wants to live another day, & through a flower a plant will invest everything it has left to enchant us with the spell of life.
