Summary

Whether you live in a mountain cabin or a city loft, plant spirits present themselves to us everywhere. Since its first edition in 1995, Plant Spirit Medicine has passed among countless audiences drawn to indigenous spirituality and all things alive and green. In this updated edition, Eliot Cowan invites us to discover the healing power of plants - not merely their physical medicinal properties, but the deeper wisdom and gifts that they offer. 

Enriched by many new insights, this guide unfolds as a series of chapters on how plant spirit medicine helped Cowan resolve specific challenges in his own healing journey and in his work with others. In the telling, we learn how plant spirits can directly communicate with and aid all of us, including: 

  • Plant spirit medicine's five-element view of healing 
  • Ways to assess our own states of health and balance 
  • Receiving guidance from plants, including those found within herbal preparations 
  • New passages on community and sacred plants such as peyote, marijuana, and tobacco 
  • Additional interviews with plant shamans across diverse traditions, and more

Outstanding!

I am not a healer, but at this point in time my intuition tells me that this is the wisdom so desperately needed for our time. I loved this book - everything about it!

Nonsense

Tried to keep an open mind, but the entire book is built on false logic. It would have been interesting to learn more about indigenous wisdom, rather than the authors opinions and anecdotes.

it's OK,

i enjoyed the narration, there are some good little stories, although slightly repetitive, I had a few moments of ah ha! which made me stop and consider but on the whole (for me) it was too much, and way beyond reality.
