Plant Spirit Medicine as a Path to Wellness and Balance

I have never encountered a healing modality more powerful, more effective and more subtle for lifting off pathology and for helping to heal others by bringing their body, mind and spirit into better balance. It isn’t a woo-woo thing. Plant Spirit Medicine is a well-grounded, real, serious healing practice. It is a profound yet simple path to wellness. One day, like Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, Osteopaths we will be recognized by the mainstream. Until then, I wanted to do my small part at recognizing and celebrating this medicine and the people who share it with others, transforming many lives in the process.

3 Things I Learned from Brilliant, Authentic Communicators

After a recent trip to San Diego, I started to read “Happy for No Reason.” In it, Marci Shimoff states that she was 13 when she decided to be a motivational speaker. She had just heard Zig Ziglar and she wanted to “do that!” I could relate to her story, though not quite as certainly.
