1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast am on 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and. 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 2: Welcome back to Coast to Coast George Nori with you. 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 2: Emma Fitchett, back with us after a couple of years. 5 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 2: She has written a book called Journeys with Plant Spirits. 6 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 2: She's a plant spirit healer, shamanic teacher and author. Her 7 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 2: lifelong pursuit of self mastery and inner transformation is fueled 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 2: by an incredible fascination with the nature of reality. Emma, 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: welcome back. Have you been hi, George? 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 3: Thank you? I's been great. How are you all? 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: Is good? It's been a while. What you been doing 12 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 2: over the last few years? 13 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, gosh, yeah, because time moves so quickly nowadays, doesn't it. 14 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 4: I wasn't sure whether it was because I was getting older, 15 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 4: but no, everybody seems to think that time is just 16 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 4: speeding up. And yeah, I have. Since I was on 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 4: the show, I've launched an open to news school here 18 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 4: in the UK, and so I've been just working on 19 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 4: that really and helping people to connect, to communicate with 20 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 4: and heal with plant spirits. 21 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: How did you get involved with plants in the first place? 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 4: Oh gosh, it was a long time ago. I was 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 4: studying my master's degree in Italy and I met somebody 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 4: who worked with teacher plants, and so he worked with 25 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 4: an African plant called Eboga, and it's a route that 26 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 4: comes from from Gabon and it's psychoactives, but they usually 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 4: use it to help people with addictions. That they were 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 4: looking at people who are on a spirit spiritual path and. 29 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 3: What the effects of this would be. 30 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 4: And so I went to one of their ceremonies and 31 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 4: it just completely opened my psychic channels into the spirit world. 32 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 4: And so all of the concepts that I was learning 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 4: in my master's degree, or the tip that I was 34 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 4: studying Tibetan Budhism, all of these concepts were just much 35 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: more easier for me to understand. And I was having 36 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 4: direct experiences of what I was being taught, and yeah, 37 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 4: it just opened me up to a whole new world. 38 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 4: And I wanted to find out then what my own 39 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 4: plants from my own country had to say to me. 40 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 4: So then I just went into a big exploration of 41 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 4: that for many years. 42 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: What fascinates me about plants is it seems that there 43 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: seems to be remedies if we can find them of 44 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: almost every kind of ailment on this planet through plants. 45 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: It's truly remarkable, isn't that. 46 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they do say that there's a plant 47 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 4: for everything. Yeah, that's a kind of. 48 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 3: A cliche, but it's true. 49 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 4: And that could be whether it's physical, emotional, or psychological. 50 00:02:53,919 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 4: So every aspect offers is supported somewhere in nature because nature. 51 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 4: We are nature, and so we're part of it, we're 52 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 4: not separate from it, and so nature in its natural 53 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 4: state just wants to always come back to balance, even 54 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 4: when we've got invasive species in the garden. Actually those 55 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 4: invasive species are doing something to bring balance on some level. 56 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 4: They fill the gap that's actually been created by our 57 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 4: disruption of the biodiversity or whatever it is. 58 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 3: But nature always. 59 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 4: Wants to come back to balance, and so yeah, there 60 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 4: will be a remedy for anything in nature, but we 61 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 4: have to be careful not to use plants like allopathic medicines. 62 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 4: So you know, they do so much more than just 63 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 4: than just kind of suppressing or getting rid of our symptoms. 64 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 4: They actually heal and cure at an origin level. And 65 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 4: you know, I'm sure your listeners are well aware that 66 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: you know, our physical ailments are not just physical you know, 67 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 4: quite often there's an emotional drive underneath them, and so 68 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 4: plants are really good at getting down. 69 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: To that level. 70 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: Back in the sixties and an incredible individual by the 71 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: name of Cleeve Baxter started doing experiments with plants and 72 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 2: he came up with all kinds of theories that they 73 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: have emotion, that they're self aware. Truly remarkable individual. 74 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 4: You've studied him, Yeah, of course, you know, you know, 75 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 4: in our western Western world and our Western mindset, this 76 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 4: concept that plants have sentiens. 77 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: Is relatively new. You know. 78 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 4: I'm sure that our ancestors way back when, and especially 79 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 4: here in the British Isles, we have lineages of witches 80 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 4: and druids, et cetera, and they were very aware of 81 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 4: the sentience and of plants. But in our modern era, yeah, 82 00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: Cleieve Baxter, he did, an American guy. He did a 83 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 4: lot of experiments to show that individual plants have memory. 84 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 4: They are they feel emotions, or they at least express 85 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 4: resonances that we could interpret as emotions. But they certainly 86 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 4: seem to have memory. And yeah, I mean that's been 87 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,679 Speaker 4: my experience as well. 88 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 3: Although what Cleved. 89 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 4: Was doing there was working with the individual plants. When 90 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 4: I work with the sentience of plants. There's different levels 91 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 4: of consciousness that you can actually tune into, or communicate 92 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 4: with or connect to. So he was working at that 93 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 4: individual plant level, which is absolutely amazing. They study that 94 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,239 Speaker 4: through music of the plants at Damana University in Italy. 95 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 4: But then we've got this the consciousness of the species 96 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 4: of the plant as well, which is kind of like 97 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 4: a bigger level of their consciousness. So just like us, 98 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: we've got individual consciousness, but we're also aware that there's 99 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 4: a collective of human consciousness as well, and so it's 100 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 4: the same in the plant world. 101 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: Does it make you think twice about eating a character 102 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: or something like that? 103 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 4: I get this question in a lot from my vegetarian 104 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 4: and vegan friends. However, plants, even though they express their 105 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 4: you know, their kind of they express when, as clear 106 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 4: Baxter pointed out, they express their. 107 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: Memory of people who have done them harm. You know, 108 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: because he measured. 109 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 4: Somebody coming in and cutting off a leaf, and then 110 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 4: the plant actually recognized that person, showed that when that 111 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 4: person walked into the room again, that there was this, 112 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 4: you know, a spike in the polygraph. However, plants don't 113 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 4: necessarily have the same sense of self that we do, 114 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, knows it's a carrod, and it knows 115 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 4: it's going to be eaten, that it has done for 116 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 4: so long, and you know, and so it doesn't have 117 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 4: attachment to an individuality like we do. So it's not 118 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 4: kind of scared of being eaten. 119 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: It doesn't have pain when somebody chumps into it, right. 120 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 4: No, No, I mean I think I think with vegetables, 121 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 4: they know they're a vegetable, so it's not going to No, 122 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: I don't have any kind of feeling of that when 123 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 4: I'm eating my veggies. 124 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: No, No, where am I in the plant? Because it 125 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: doesn't have a brain. Where is the emotion, where is 126 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: the memory? Where is the self awareness come from? 127 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 128 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 4: So you know, if we think of ourselves, you know, 129 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 4: because we're very similar to plants actually, and there are 130 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 4: theories that we've evolved from plants. But when we think 131 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: of ourselves, you know, our consciousness is not in our head. Okay, 132 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 4: it might feel like it's centralized in our head and 133 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 4: concentrated because that's where mainly our censers are. But actually 134 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 4: we can put our consciousness in our toe, we can 135 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 4: put it in the end of our finger, and then 136 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: for those of us with more kind of psychic awareness, 137 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 4: we can be very aware of our energy field, and 138 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 4: we can be very aware of the astral planes, and 139 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 4: we can actually for healers Sharmans, et cetera. We can 140 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 4: project our consciousness for soul retrieval and journeying, et cetera. 141 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 4: And so consciousness is not necessarily restricted to the body. 142 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 3: And so. 143 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 4: Even though the brain is like this receptor for consciousness, 144 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 4: actually our consciousness is very fluid. We're very attached to 145 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 4: our physical bodies, of course, but our and of course 146 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 4: emotions get trapped in our bodies. That's why we need 147 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 4: to do the healing. But actually consciousness is much more 148 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 4: fluid than we've been led to believe. And so around plants, 149 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 4: they have an energy field like we do, but they've 150 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: also got a morphogenic field. If you've studied or anybody's 151 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 4: heard of Rupert sheldbreak, he's really worth looking into. Yeah, 152 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 4: he's really got done a lot of work on the 153 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: idea of this morphogenic field, this kind of field of 154 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 4: information that exists around everything. And of course, over time 155 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 4: that field of information gets imbued with when a plant's 156 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 4: being used for particular remedies et cetera, or was used 157 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 4: by the witches. That energy is imbued into the morphogenic 158 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 4: field of the plant, and so it becomes a memory 159 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 4: that's accessible that's not necessarily within the plant, although of 160 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 4: course you can ingest a plant to access that morphogenic 161 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 4: field as well. So we've just got to kind of 162 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 4: get over this idea that everything's separate because the body, 163 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 4: the mind, the energy field, it's actually all one. But 164 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 4: we've just separated things out to make it easier to 165 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 4: work understand. But actually, I think we're all kind of 166 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 4: in this great consciousness shift. We're moving to a deeper 167 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 4: understanding of more unity consciousness, a more interconnectedness between things. 168 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 2: Are there some plants that are a little more receptive 169 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: than others to this? 170 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely so if there are plants that are trees 171 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 4: that has been worked with a lot over the years 172 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 4: by humans, you know, like there's a wonderful plant called 173 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 4: Artemisia vulgaris which you have in the States, and there 174 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 4: are many types of Artemusians around the world, and these 175 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 4: are very healing plants. So the spirit of that plant 176 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 4: is very accessible because it's really used to working with. 177 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 3: Humans a lot. 178 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:53,359 Speaker 4: It's the witch's first herb. It's been used in artemedias, 179 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 4: are used in the Native American tradition a lot, and 180 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 4: so those types of spirits are very easy to understand, 181 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 4: to access and communicate with. But then you've got your 182 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 4: kind of plants that are a little bit more shy 183 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 4: because they haven't necessarily had that human interaction so much, 184 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 4: and so it might be a little bit more difficult 185 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: to connect to the spirit of it. 186 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, what about. 187 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 2: Like vegetables, em I mean, would you consider them thinking 188 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 2: plants like stalks of corn or something like that. 189 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 4: Well, to be honest, I don't necessarily work with vegetables, 190 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: but I do know that, you know, garlic, that's an 191 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 4: extremely powerful plant spirit, and that is used in African 192 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 4: traditional medicine, and it's used and worked with for cleansing, purification, 193 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: and on a physical level, we know that it cleanses 194 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 4: the blood, but on an energetic level, it also cleanses 195 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 4: the body of any kind of unhelpful energies or toxic energies, 196 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 4: particularly from other people. 197 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 3: And so. 198 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 4: In this country, garlic's not necessarily native, although we're very 199 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 4: used to working with it. But in terms of the fruit, 200 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 4: I certainly work with the apple tree and that's a 201 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 4: very powerful plant spirit again on that kind of purification 202 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 4: level of working. So yeah, I've worked with some, but 203 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 4: not that many. 204 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: How do we know which plants are more receptive than 205 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: the other. 206 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 4: I suppose it's just working with it, meditating with the plant. 207 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 4: You know, when I have people come to my retreat center, 208 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 4: they come to for three days and we fast for 209 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 4: three days, and we only consume or we only communicate 210 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 4: with one plant for the three days. We don't have 211 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 4: any other interference from any coffee or any food or anything. 212 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 4: So we just really clear ourselves out and communicate with 213 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 4: the plant. 214 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 3: And so. 215 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 4: Only through actually trying to communicate with or or meditating 216 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 4: with your journeying with or taking the essence of or 217 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 4: the t of a plant. It's certainly really through participation 218 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,599 Speaker 4: and co creation. Can you understand whether a plant is 219 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 4: going to be receptive to you or not? 220 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: Are there certain plants that you would sprinkle around your 221 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: house to make you feel better? 222 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? 223 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:38,119 Speaker 4: Absolutely. I work in different ways. So I have a diffuser, 224 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 4: So I work with essential oils, and so I will 225 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 4: diffuse certain plants around the house, such as mug water. 226 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 4: Actually that makes a beautiful essential oil. And I'll put 227 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 4: that in the diffusive and that purifies my space and 228 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 4: cleanses my space of any unhelpful energies. You know, because 229 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 4: when we go into town or when we were around 230 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 4: a lot of other people, we bring toxic psychic debris 231 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: back into the house. That's why it's really important to 232 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 4: leave all of your outdoor clothes and shoes in one space. 233 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 4: You know, you're kind of your your outdoor coach shouldn't 234 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 4: come into your bedroom, for example, because it's collected unhelpful 235 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 4: energies that you're going to then sleep in if you 236 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 4: put it on your bed, for example. By yeah, so, 237 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 4: by by burning or diffusing plants such as mugwort or 238 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 4: sent John's wort, or cedar or sat white stage, you know, 239 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 4: by do it by or smudging your house, you can 240 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 4: help to get rid of those energies and really lift 241 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 4: the vibration of your house so that you can think 242 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 4: more clearly. You know, you're kind of in a happier vibe. 243 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: My Clay Baxter was convinced that plants can communicate with 244 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: other life forms. What do you think of that? 245 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 4: Absolutely, cross species communication is a well known phenomenon. You know, 246 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 4: we can there are many animal communicators. I'm personally friends 247 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: with some amazing animal communicators in South Africa and we've 248 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 4: got some great ones here in the UK. 249 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 3: So that the idea of cross. 250 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 4: Species communication is it's not something that's kind of woo 251 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 4: woo at all. It's kind of like it's very well known. 252 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 4: And so in terms of plants, absolutely we can communicate 253 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 4: with plants, So there's the cross species communication. 254 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: But actually if you. 255 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 4: Look into our folklore, especially British folk law, we've got 256 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 4: very rich British folklaw, then you will see that there's 257 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 4: a very strong connection to say, birds and plants, so 258 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 4: particularly birds and trees. So there's a beautiful, beautiful kind 259 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 4: of Celtic understanding that the ash tree, well, it leaves 260 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 4: to unfold in the spring, it needs the support of 261 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 4: the song of the blackbird, which is so beautiful, isn't it. 262 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 4: And I know that in Native American there is definitely 263 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 4: I've met Linda black Elk and she's told me a 264 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 4: story about how the mouth and a certain plant on 265 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 4: the plains on the prairies are very connected and they 266 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 4: communicate with each other to help keep their keep them alive. 267 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 4: So this idea of plants communicating with other species. 268 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 3: Absolutely, yes, for. 269 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 4: Sure, it's it's how they've survived. How Yeah, is it 270 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 4: done telepathectally, Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You know, I wouldn't say 271 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: that plants communicate in words because when a plant perceives, 272 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 4: you know, and I'm sure this was part of Cleve's 273 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 4: Baxter's work at some point, but when a plant perceives, 274 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 4: we tend to kind of divide our sensors up into 275 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 4: our vision, our sense, feeling, what we're feeling like through 276 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 4: our skin, what we're tasting in our mouth, and so 277 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 4: we kind of divide our senses up. Whereas the plants, 278 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 4: when they're perceiving the world and they're sensing their environment, 279 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 4: it's more of a g salt, it's more of one picture, 280 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 4: so they don't divide into different senses, and so there's this, Yeah, 281 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 4: they just perceive in a different way, and so then 282 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 4: when they communicate with us, it's not necessarily through words, 283 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 4: although we can translate it into words. 284 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 3: It's through feeling. So you get a. 285 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 4: Feeling from a plant or when we feel and we're 286 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 4: kind of aligning our energy field with the energy field 287 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 4: of a plant, and we're kind of picking up on 288 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 4: its resonance and on its morphogenic field, we then interpret 289 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,719 Speaker 4: through images in our head or through our kind of 290 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 4: past experience, or through our cultural filter, what that plant 291 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 4: bio resonance is all about. And so we can get 292 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 4: to know the plant by just being in its energy field. 293 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 2: It is truly remarkable, isn't it, Emma, I mean, it 294 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 2: really is. 295 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 4: Oh, you know, It's changed my life. 296 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 3: You know. 297 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 4: That's all I've done since I communicated with that Iboga 298 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 4: plant spirit Mayny many years ago. All I've done is 299 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 4: communicated with plants and to understand them and to get 300 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 4: to know them on a really deep level. 301 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 3: And absolutely it's. 302 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 4: It's brought such magic into my life, a deep, deep, 303 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 4: deep sense of healing. 304 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 3: I've worked through a lot of my stuff in my life, 305 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 3: you know, or my. 306 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 4: Childhood traumas and things like that and kind of past 307 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 4: life stuff. And cause a natural byproduct of working with 308 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 4: plants is that when you do all that inner healing, 309 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 4: all that cleansing, etc. That just happens when you're working 310 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 4: with plants, and when you're taking and being with plants, 311 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 4: your psychic sensor is just it's a byproduct that you 312 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 4: just naturally become. 313 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: Psyche listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight 314 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: at one a m.
