Partner Earth: A Spiritual Ecology (Original)

SPIRITUALITY A great split between the physical and the spiritual exists in our lives, and our bodies reflect this through fatigue, depression, and chronic illness. To become whole beings again, we must reclaim our birthright as partners with all of creation. We achieve this by opening ourselves to the spirits of plants, animals, the elements, and Earth, making them our allies. These allies, known as devas, are energy beings through whom we can bridge the gap between the physical body and the energetic patterns that support all life. Partner Earth teaches that we don’t need any special psychic abilities to communicate with these beings of the natural world; we simply match frequencies with them, which means relaxing the mind and expanding the heart to receive more subtle signals.Through a process of remembering, our relationship with Earth can evolve into one of equal partnership. Partner Earth provides a wide range of practical exercises based on traditional wisdom, visualizations, and the author’s long experience as an herbalist that enables one to learn this process, create sacred space, find plant and animal allies, and create flower essences that can help heal the rift between the individual and Nature.
