Plant Immersions
“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
*Due to COVID-19, I am not currently offering bodywork of any kind. Please subscribe to my newsletter to stay updated on changes.
A gift from the plant spirits, these ceremonies offer a five element healing immersion with a specific plant. A combination of massage and bodywork with plant-infused oils, as well as smoke smudging, infused water blessing and anointing, the laying on of plant bundles, and energetic healing with flower essences. Experience the plant through a cordial or elixir, if you so choose. I will also use prayer and song to invite the spirit of the plant into the ritual to tend to your healing intentions.
Each ceremony lasts approximately 120 minutes.
Each plant spirit has offered insight into some of the healing blessings that it wishes to bring forward in ceremony with you at this time.
Rose: “I bring the power of the heart so that it can be open and protected. You can be open and safe. Release grief. Return to the love that is omnipresent in the places beyond your egoic awareness. Insight comes with safety to open to life's experiences and trust in the divine order of all things. I bring the safe space for your heart to open and behold these truths.”
Pine: “I bring the transmutation of blame and judgment. I bring healing solutions. I remove intrusions and invasions to restore sovereign experience. I cleanse the parasites that deplete your energy stores, and create powerful, impermeable boundaries against uninvited forces.”
Violet: “I am the heart of the Earth. I cleanse the heart. I nurture. I restore the heart to it's true essence. I dissolve what has hardened into obstacles. I open up the flowering of life's pathways through your whole existence. I soften fear and anxiety. I hold your heart in gratitude and support the receptivity of your heart and spirit.”
Sage: “I cleanse the spirit of impurities. I bless all of creation. I bring the consecration of the holy and divine truth for each individual being. I bring the opening to your higher consciousness of self and holy mysteries. I expand awareness of truth. I cleanse the palate and make space for new endeavors—freeing from past tethers and bindings.”
Nettle: “I open and clear pathways. I transform obstacles. I transform pain and wounding. I stimulate healing, breathing new life into areas grown stagnant from pain, fear, or hopelessness. The power of the earth to provide for your needs is remembered. A reconnecting into generous growth that feeds the layers of your being. I bring the foundational components of your healing process to help you stabilize and gain strength where you need it most in a given moment.”
Lilac: “I elevate. I inspire creativity and creation. I bless through beautification. I connect to the ephemeral, the sacred moment of Now. I open the doorways to the muses—behold, your own beauty and powers of creation. Healing to all modes of expression, including the voice through spoken word or song. A soothing golden honey, a spiritual balm for the heart-throat-mind's eye connection”
Devil's Club: “I am fortifying of boundaries, large or small. I bring courage and self-protection. I remind you of your right to safely claim your space to exist and grow. I bring the joy of courage—to be a warrior and a healer. I support healers. I teach healers the deeper truths of their crafts, so that they may be strong in their walk as healing warriors in this world. I also support those going through profound healing processes to call on their strength and perseverance, and fortify them throughout the remainder of their healing journey.”
Bleeding Heart: “The wounded healer is restored to full power. I bring understanding of past strife and the completion of cycles of suffering through regained wisdom and claimed initiations of experience. Trust in the self's ability to persevere brings release of anxiety and fear. To see the present blessings in the pain of the past. Grief released as an exhale of the soul, allowing new life to flow into long-lost spaces.”
