Product Description
A hands-on approach to working with the healing powers of plant spirits
• Explores the scientific basis underlying the practices of indigenous healers and shamans
• Illuminates the matrix where plant intelligence and human intelligence join
• Reveals that partnering with plants is an evolutionary imperative
Indigenous healers and shamans have known since antiquity that plants possess a spirit essence that can communicate through light, sound, and vibration. Now scientific studies are verifying this understanding. Plant Spirit Healing reveals the power of plant spirits to join with human intelligence to bring about profound healing. These spirits take us beyond mere symptomatic treatment to aligning us with the vast web of nature. Plants are more than their chemical constituents. They are intelligent beings that have the capacity to raise consciousness to a level where true healing can take place.
In this book, herbalist Pam Montgomery offers an understanding of the origins of disease and the therapeutic use of plant spirits to bring balance and healing. She offers a process engaging heart, soul, and spirit that she calls the triple spiral path. In our modern existence, we are increasingly challenged with broken hearts, souls in exile, and malnourished spirits. By working through the heart, we connect with the soul and gain access to spirit. She explains that the evolution of plants has always preceded their animal counterparts and that plant spirits offer a guide to our spiritual evolution--a stage of growth imperative not only for the healing of humans but also the healing of the earth.

Okay, maybe it's just me but it's been hard to read this book. Not because I do not understand it, I understand what Pam is trying to say just fine. And that's the problem. There is nothing new so far that I have not read in other sources. I went ahead and gave the book three stars, grudgingly.
The problem is boredom. I am well over half way through the book and it is had taken me a long time to get there because I lose interest due to old subject matter being rehashed. She spent the first half of the book pretty much going over information that has been around for awhile now (The Field came out in 2001 and is a good intro into psi subjects. The Field has long been since been superseded by McTaggart's more current books The Intention Experiment and other work). Information on plant consciousness and chakras has also been around for sometime now.
Unless you are young (late teens, early twenties) and/or just starting your studies in psi subjects, eastern practices, etc., or you have never read anything on any of the subjects Pam talks about (a real novice/beginner), you might find this book hard to stay awake through.
What Pam should have done is give a much shorter reference (more like a nod than a full blown talk) to the topics she spends chapters on in the first half of the book and move on to the current application instead. For example say "There are too many references on the subject of plant consciousness but a quick note here .... " or "There is not enough room to cover everything about chakras here but in short...." for example. List some of those references/books in the appendix for those who want to learn more about chakras, plant consciousness, etc. Then move on to what she really seemed to be getting at. Preferably something most readers may not already know or expand on what is currently being done.
Part three should have been the largest section of the book, not the smallest (sadly disappointing). There are so many plants that could have been included (for part three). Instead, everyone is taught, again, how to clear chakras, among other old topics. Shame. There should have been far more original thought to the subject Pam is attempting to share with others.
Maybe part three looks like it might have some interest but so far I can not say I would recommend the book to others.
:: Shrugs:: To bad, it looked like it might be worthy of shelf space. Then I began rereading what I already knew.

This book is so beautiful. Not only are we on the journey with the author, which is a great way of teaching one "how to", but she takes us into another world that we all could find serene delight in. From the lovely flowers to the leaves; we learn their energy and dance.
An outstanding work! June 15, 2009

Well written, the book is accessible to readers unfamiliar with the concepts presented as well as appealing to someone already versed in the practice of communication with plant spirits. Even if no healing is pursued, realizing the wonder of plants and gaining an awareness of their gift of life to us will be a blessing to us all!

A good insight into a persons journey into plant consciousness, the author who works as a healer shares her stories as well as those of her students from their own perspectives.
The main thrust of the book is to let the reader accept spirituality and once that happens you can recognize it everywhere. Excerpts and references to Jeremy Narby and Rick Strassman show the different approaches of each, and Pam's book. This is not a science book, it is a book about spiritual healing of the self and uses the authors and others experiences to illustrate this.. Like Stephen Buhner's 'Lost language of plants' but more hippie!!

This is a must for anyone wondering about whether plants are intelligent and what they can do. In non ordinary reality plant spirits are a very important part of our evolution of consciousness, according to many researchers in the field of shamanism. Did you know that plants proceeded all forms of animals as evolution developed on this planet. And there is every indication that they reached high level of intelligence just like animals (including man) but before them. Did you know that plants make up 99% of the biomass of this planet? Have you ever seen a picture of what a plant "spirit" looks like.
Well, these are all things this book brings to the front and if this is of interest to you then this is the book for you. It is well written and combines science and esoteric mysteries and attempts to look at the many facets of plants and how they are and might be able to heal humans even more when attention is put onto their ability to communicate with us. They are waiting, are you up to it?.
