When your plants die from neglect, you never realize that herbs are your thing. I'm not ashamed to share this; I was so disconnected from my body and from nature that I didn't know what I was capable of.
So how did I go from herbalist to herbalist? I got sick. I've told this story several times before (myoma, cysts, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines, and a long list of other symptoms), but what I haven't shared with you until today is that it was thanks to herbal medicine that I also recovered.
It wasn't just the diet. Although I could have taken a longer route, I still would have gotten there. However, after months on a raw diet, I only then added several formulas, on the recommendation of a Detox Specialist who was with me at the time. Boom! My health went to the next level.
This remarkable change from the improvements I'd already received inspired me to study herbal medicine and use Dr. Robert Morse's formulas. I was able to access them in Mexico, since they're only available in the U.S. Today, they're part of my life and the lives of the people I guide.
The connection with the earth and plants was so strong that it led me to leave the city for the countryside, where I live today. I have my own herb garden, and I harvest herbs from the mountains. It has changed me profoundly; it's the call of nature. I often feel that there is wisdom that goes beyond me; it simply exists or appears. Sometimes through a grandmother who shares her family secrets about healing, my mother, who has inspired me greatly, or other teachers and healers.
You never stop learning about herbal medicine, but the rewards are great, knowing that each contribution is beneficial to someone, helping to improve a symptom, or to ease an emotion. And perhaps they also affect our energy field.
All of this, combined with the practice of Alchemy, a process by which the energy of plants is transmuted, imprinting them with the desired properties, has made it a super tool in my own process and those I accompany. 🌿 💚 A labor of love. I don't talk about much of this, but this year it's part of my intention for 2023: to open up and share more of what's coming.
