Plant Whisperer

All things are made of shifting energy particles, even our thoughts and emotions. The coffee cup on your desk looks and feels solid, but it is not solid. You and I are not solid. Everything in the universe is made of energy and everything is moving.

There are people so sensitive to the energy of other living beings that they can place their hands on a plant and detect not only the nuances of the plant's energy field, but also the various natural chemicals inside the plant that make up its living system. Images of the inner physical structure of the plant may appear in their mind. These people are able to sense the plant's physical and emotional state and communicate with it.

I call this group of people "Plant Whisperers" and claim proud membership in the group.

Many successful gardeners are Plant Whisperers and are not even aware of it. They are so in tune with the vibratory energy of their plants they can sense when something is wrong or about to go wrong in their garden much the same way plants communicate with each other. The successful gardener becomes a member of the plants' community.

Science has proven plants live in communities. When danger threatens, a caterpillar infestation for example, a warning speeds through the plant's network of roots or underground runners to the other plants to beef up their chemical and energy production to discourage the pests. Science has also proven that after an insect chews on a plant leaf, the plant raises the level of chemical in the leaf to try to ruin its taste. When given the choice more often than not the insect will move on to a new leaf.

How does a Plant Whisperer receive communication from a plant, though?

I can only speak for myself. When communicating with a plant I first sense its aura energy, the energy that flows through everything in the universe, as I do with a person or animal.

By meditating on the plant's energy, I gradually move deeper into its energy until I begin to sense the plant's awareness. Plant awareness is especially strong with trees.

Once I have contacted the plant's awareness, I silently and with respect introduce myself and offer Reiki energy, an energy healing therapy, to the plant. A plant will reply with the faintest voice imaginable heard in the back of my mind and carried on a specific feeling, warmth, curiosity, gratefulness, or, in the case of a certain scarred oak tree, suspicion (It has endured years of people carving their initials into its trunk.)

I often receive mental images of the inner workings of the plant at this point. In my mind's eye, I follow the Reiki energy down into the roots and through the layers of veins in the stem or trunk to the many leaves.
After the Reiki session, which can last quite a while because plants love to wallow in Reiki energy, I silently wish the plant a polite goodbye and promise to visit later. I then feel the energy cords fall away from between us instead of having to cut them myself.

A truly remarkable communication I experienced happened between a potted Heliotrope I saved from the garbage bin at a local garden nursery and me.

When I found the Heliotrope, it was a pitiable sight with its single stem and few leaves. I took it home, transplanted it into a larger pot, watered it well, and then soaked it with Reiki energy. After that, I set its pot on a windowsill and turned my attention to my laptop.
