Spiritual Healing with Plants~ Plants Have Spirit and So Do You

Did you know that plants have a spirit and spirit is the strongest medicine?

Many of you have found me through your interest in Feng Shui.  I’d like to share with you that I also practice spiritual healing through Plant Spirit Medicine.  I offer both because of my personal experience benefiting from both. I have been receiving Plant Spirit Medicine treatments in 2005 and I find that even all these years later I still benefit from the healing wisdom of the plants. In Feng Shui we work on your house to ignite balance and harmony in your life.  In Plant Spirit Medicine we do the same thing but we do it by going right to your core, your spirit, with the generous help of the plant spirits.  To learn more about Plant Spirit Medicine treatments click here.

The Updated New Edition of Plant Spirit Medicine by Eliot Cowan is available!

Plant Spirit Medicine by Eliot Cowan is my favorite book and the updated edition is even better than the first! I first read this book in 1999 while studying herbal medicine and it was a big ah ha moment for me, I knew that Plant Spirit Medicine(PSM) was how I wanted to work with the plants and help people. I had a strong feeling that PSM would help me with my personal healing in a profound way.  No one practiced anywhere near where I lived so it took awhile for me to actually receive PSM. In the meantime I felt such a longing for the connection I experienced reading the book that every year for 5 years I would re-read the book, reigniting my longing to connect with this healing work. 

Finally I had my house Feng Shui’d in 2003 for the first time and everything changed! Less than a year later I moved across the country to Asheville, North Carolina.  Little did I know that Asheville is a hub of PSM healers.  After moving in and implementing Feng Shui to my new living space I searched for a Holistic MD to work with.  I made an appointment with a Dr. who looked like a great fit and she was only a 10 minute walk from my house.  They sent me a brochure and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read that this Dr. practiced Plant Spirit Medicine and was trained by Eliot Cowan.  I have been receiving PSM ever since and my life has never been the same!  Eventually I trained with Eliot Cowan to become a Plant Spirit Medicine Healer.

You can purchase the Plant Spirit Medicine book locally or online at Bookshop Santa Cruz http://www.bookshopsantacruz.com/.

Plant Spirit Medicine Opportunity~

Are you interested in receiving Plant Spirit Medicine treatments? Would you like to benefit from the wisdom of a Master?  

My teacher, Eliot Cowan, will be in Santa Cruz teaching a Clinic Class for PSM healers on January 7-9, 2015. In this class myself and other PSM healers will present and treat our clients under Eliot's guidance. This is a great opportunity for our clients to benefit from Eliot's many years of experience as a healer and teacher of PSM. 

Would you like to be my client in this PSM Clinic Class with Eliot Cowan?

The main difference in the treatment process is the first treatment is done in front of the class (5-8 students) and begins with an intake between Eliot and the client and then I will give the treatment following Eliot's guidance and treatment plan. 

Requirements:

~A willingness to speak openly with Eliot in front of the class and receive a treatment in front of the class.

~A Commitment to a series of follow up PSM treatments. 

If you are interested to learn more about this opportunity to work with Eliot and myself please contact me for more details.  (831) 588-5424 or at megan@windandwaterblessings.com

Your Bedroom is the Most Important Room!

Sleep is meant to be a restorative time for our body and mind to relax deeply and to recharge our batteries. Did you know your bedroom is having a big impact on your body, mind and spirit while you are busy sleeping? We spend a lot of our life in our beds asleep.  This is why the Feng Shui of our bedroom is so important. The important features to consider are the position of your bed, what you keep in your bedroom and the bed itself.

The bed position that will ensure the best quality sleep and the most success in your life is when you have a commanding view of the door to the bedroom and a commanding view of the entire room from the bed.  This position will give you an assertive position in life and help you see your opportunities. When you cannot see the door, you will know on a subconscious level that an intruder would have the advantage and a part of you could be on guard all night long. You will sleep better and the room will feel and look better when your bed has this commanding view.

Ideally keep your bed out of the pathway of any doors (closets are okay).  Doorways bring in the flow of energy to a room and it can negatively impact your vital energy to sleep in this direct flow. The best place for a bed is against a solid wall with no window behind it, positioned so that you can see the main door to the room with out being in the path of a door.  It is not always easy to follow all of these guidelines because most architects did not design bedrooms with Feng Shui in mind!

The strongest bed has a solid wood headboard securely attached to the bed frame.  I do not recommend a foot board because people usually end up bumping into them and find them annoying. Having your bed directly on the floor can contribute to feeling "stepped on” in life.  The strongest bed is up off the floor, with nothing underneath it, so that the chi can flow.  If you have drawers under the bed as part of the frame then keep neutral items there like sheets and blankets.

The bedroom is the most private room in the house and because of this sometimes people neglect it or overcrowd it with stuff.  If this is you, then take a few steps to improve the most important room in the house:

·      Clear out the clutter, and make space for the chi to flow. 

·      Take out stuff that has nothing to do with sleep, relaxation, intimacy and dressing, making your bedroom your sanctuary.

·      If you cannot move a workspace, use a screen or curtain to hide it at night. 

·      Create for yourself a nourishing place to retire to at the end of the day.

·      Sleep well!
