In this Podcast Short, John delves into the topic of plant consciousness and intelligence. John talks about how plants are not just passive organisms, but possess significant cognitive abilities and responsiveness. Drawing inspiration from Stephen Herrod Buhner's works, particularly "The Lost Language of Plants," John discusses how plants demonstrate informed decision-making capabilities and can react to human intentions. John also cites additional scientific findings that assert plants have sophisticated neural networks contained within their root systems, similar to human neural systems, which are capable of learning and memory.

One of my purposes in life is to be a bridge for plant and human consciousness. And today I got to have a conversation with a sweet sister on the same mission! Lillian is a plant spirit healer and visual artist, bridging the worlds of human consciousness and the ever-accessible, loving and wise, presence of Nature’s intelligence. Her healing business, Earth Prayer, was birthed from a deep desire to give voice to the Plants, weave Their prayers into writing and art, share flower essences, and serve her local community with plant spirit healing. We hope that this episode will spark your interest in developing personal relationships with these highly evolved sentient botanical beings! WHAT WE COVER: - Lillian's plant path: from ecological restoration, to farming, to herbalism and finally plant spirit healing - the subtle but profound impact of flower essences, and how they helped Lillian on her journey - plants as our ancestors and why every single one is a teacher - today's medicine song: >> Whispers

Join Sarah Holmes and Stephen Buhner as they discuss his book, The Secret Teachings of Plants: The Intelligence of the Heart in the Direct Perception of Nature. Originally aired 2.04.10. Fund drive. The post Interview with Stephen Buhner – September 15, 2016 appeared first on KPFA.
Stephen Harrod Buhner is an Earth poet and the award-winning author often books on nature, indigenous cultures, the environment, and herbal medicine. He comes from a long line of healers including Leroy Burney, Surgeon General of the United States under Eisenhower and Kennedy, and Elizabeth Lusterheide, a midwife and herbalist who worked in rural Indiana in the early nineteenth century. The greatest influence on his work, however, has been his great-grandfather C.G. Harrod who primarily used botanical medicines, also in rural Indiana, when he began his work as a physician in 1911. Stephen’s work has appeared or been profiled in publications throughout North America and Europe including Common Boundary, Apotheosis, Shaman’s Drum, The New York Times, CNN, and Good Morning America. He has spoken at colleges and conference around thw world, including the United Nations. Stephen’s books include: * Herbal Antibiotics: Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-Resistant Bacteria * Healing Lyme: Natural Healing & Prevention of Lyme Borreliosis and its Coinfections * The Lost Language of Plants: The Ecological Importance of Plant Medicines for Life on Earth * Sacred Plant Medicine: The Wisdom in Native America Herbalism * Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers: The Secrets of Ancient Fermentation * The Secret Teachings of Plants: The Intelligence of the Heart in the Direct Perception of Nature * The Natural Testosterone Plant: For Sexual Health and Energy * Herbs for Hepatitis C and the Liver …and more Stephen and I started our conversation around old time doctors and kitchen medicine, exploring herbs like ginger, cayenne, and even honey. Then, as I expected and hoped for, Stephen went in some interesting directions. So, though he talks about the effects of accidentally breathing dust from Western Skunk Cabbage, and ingesting some well known toxic plants such as Poison Hemlock…well, I would ask you stay away from using those plants internally. Stephen does offer some amazing gems of information, and you never know when he is going to drop one of them on you. However, there is gold in the overall message he is trying to say. Try to stay in the space of looking at the larger picture of the conversation. Visit http://www.gaianstudies.org
