Living Life from the Great Inside

I have been studying a lot over the years.  Bundles of glorious information on the vast capacity of being, as well as botanical medicine.  In the process I often devalue my innate knowing.  There is a place for knowledge passed down and shared, and a place for asking within for direction.  

Since the beginning we have asked for guidance.  When we have been at a loss, thrown, overwhelmed, we have asked Spirit, Goddess, God to show us the way.  We have laid our heads down and asked our dream world to offer us wisdom.  Nothing has changed.  This path of inner wisdom is eternally ours.

Since the beginning we have asked our plant world for guidance.  We have asked what is needed to bring back wholeness to ourselves or someone in our nation.  We have communicated from our soul to that same soul within the plant kingdom.  The deep inner to the deep inner.  Plants communicate through chemicals, light wavelenths and contact - putting out and receiving information from their environment.  From what we understand, they emit sounds waves through audio acoustic emissions.  And there is a world of plant communication, the mystical, the unknown that we cannot conceptualize. Yet our intuition recognizes that the universe of greenery works in subtle and powerful ways.  Many believe that when we step into the woods with a yearning for medicine, our clear intentions communicated can change a plants chemical compounds to make the perfect remedy requested.  I do trust this is possible, as plants shift their chemical make up for survival all of the time.

I am remembering this relationship.  The days when I am bewildered by my life decisions, bewildered by an imbalance in my system, I am remembering to ask the Great One to show me the way.  I am holding both the books of knowledge at hand as equally important as this inner world of knowing ~ connected across all beings:  land, human, animal, flora, bacterial and so on.

We often know what we need more than we allow ourselves to believe.

Now let us remember.
Let us step back in tuit
Asking spirit to guide the way.
Let us live life from the inside
Where the root and heart reside.
