Welcome to the Plant Wisdom Circle. This is a
space to share the wisdom of the plants, letting
their voices ripple outward into ever -widening
circles. Together, we honor the plants as medicine
guides and living beings of healing consciousness.
I'm your host, Amy Tarepka. Okay, welcome, welcome
back. I have Lavender here with me today and
I'm going to be sharing all about her amazing
range of medicine. She's just been such a gift
ever since the Plant Wisdom Circle. She's been
with me. I've really felt her stay with me, linger
with me a little longer maybe than most. of the
plants. She's come into my bodywork sessions
and in my dreams and it's just been really sweet
to have her steadying presence with me and I'm
really excited to have her with me to share more
about her medicine. But as usual before we begin
I want to remind local folks that These Plant
Wisdom Circles happen the second Friday of every
month here in Portland, Oregon, and we'd love
to have you come join in this experience of so
much community magic. And one other exciting
thing is that my six -month immersion program
through the Golden Stone Wisdom School is open
for applications. And this is my most in -depth
program that I offer that runs from fall equinox
to spring equinox. And I created this very specific
initiation for the sensitives, for the empaths,
the soul seekers, the plant people, the ones
who really feel and who know that deep inside
they have a magical soul, but something is in
the way. of you stepping forth into your magic,
into your soul's language and lived relationship
with the earth body. So what we do over the six
months is a lot of slowing down and being present
with ourselves and listening to how we communicate
with our bodies and the wider soul of the earth,
the wider spiritual planes. There's a lot of
deep rooted connection with the body. You explore
what's long been held inside your body, what
stories and programming you've been carrying
that you're ready to transform. You get more
clear and masterful in working with your energy
body. You start to really trust your intuition,
how it works, the pathways in which both your
body and the external world are communicating
with you. You really feel how the medicine of
the elements, the seasons, the plant spirits,
the stones, how they live through you, how your
body relates to them, your own personal relationship
to them. and you awaken your inner witch, your
inner priestess, your empowered magical self.
I feel so passionate about helping the sensitive
-hearted folks right now really empower themselves
because I believe it is us sensitives who are
the leaders, who will be shaping this new way
forward in a way that's deeply rooted in relationship
with the earth, with compassion, with sensitivity
for all beings, not just humans. And there are
four plants that help guide us over the six months.
They are red cedar, rose, hawthorn, and yarrow.
and I have podcast episodes about each of them
except Hawthorne, who I'm planning to share about
in November. If this Goldenstone immersion calls
to you, if you're wanting to be guided by the
plants and your spirit guides and your inner
self this fall and winter, you can find more
details in the show notes below. All right, well,
let's get into today's episode with Lavender.
This is the Lavangela genus, and I work mostly
with the English Lavender, the Lavangela angustifolia,
but I do know there's over 40 species of Lavender,
and I'm guessing they have varying degrees of
medicinal constituents. I don't know enough about
it all to say. that every lavender species is
the same, but my guess is each one will vary
slightly, but also contain a similar spiritual
vibe and a similar energetic blueprint. With
lavender we work with the flower and you can
throw some of the little leaves in as well. I
make my tincture from the flower. And the experiences
I share here from the plant wisdom circles are
when we sit in ceremony with just a single drop
or a couple drops of the tincture that I make
and have the experience of feeling the medicine
in our bodies and receiving the messages that
lavender has to share with us. But you also don't
need to ingest any of the medicine or have a
special tincture. You can go nibble on one of
the flowers or just sit by a plant and connect
with them that way. So I'll share a little bit
about Lavender's physical medicine and then go
into the general spiritual and energetic themes
of Lavender, what we find time and time again
with people's experiences and my own experiences
and other people's experiences from the plant
wisdom circles. Lavender is drying and cooling
to the system. So she's an anti -inflammatory,
antiseptic, anti -fungal, antibacterial. She
does a great job in keeping spaces clean and
clear of odors and bacteria and really great
to add to skincare products and skin salves because
of this. Lavender is also a bitter and bitters
are generally helpful with the digestion, all
bitters. They help move along sluggish digestion
and they prepare the digestive system for food.
And lavender works as a bile stimulant and a
liver support and is also a carminative, which
means that she helps relieve gas and bloating
in the intestines. So really great to have a
little drop or two of the tincture before and
or after the meal. Lavender is a nervine which
many of you I'm sure have assumed and probably
her most notable quality because she's so calming
to the nervous system. She can help with anxiety,
stress, constriction in the nerves, any of that
like inflammatory nervous system feeling because
she's cooling. and also helps really uplift the
system. So she's not one that is going to make
you fall asleep. There's this uplifting quality
to the spirit and really supportive of that depressed
feeling when things just feel heavy. She comes
in and just like helps uplift and make things
feel a little lighter and a little more steady
and clear. She's also been used to clear headaches
and due to Lavender's prevalence in our world,
you can really assume that Lavender has been
one of the primary healing helpers across the
globe for thousands and thousands and thousands
of years. We can understand and know that humans
and Lavender have had a very ancient relationship.
There's always so much with these plants and
I'm just gonna leave it there for now because
I really want to spend most of the time in the
psycho spiritual realm and the themes that we
find with her medicine. So first and foremost,
again, we find Lavender brings her calming presence.
So her invitation for us is to downshift, to
start to come back into a more steady, neutral
experience, not this hyper, fast -paced way that
we have about our lives so much of the time.
And she's really helpful when our nervous systems
have been activated. I think she's one of the
best supports for the highly sensitive nervous
system. It feels to me like she's almost like
corralling all of the scattered energy into coherence.
and brings us into that present calm steadiness.
Steady is a word I frequently use to describe
her. So if you're feeling unsteady emotionally,
mentally, spiritually, lavender is a really great
one to call on. When I take her medicine, I often
can feel all the ways in which my energy is kind
of scattering or pulling in different directions.
And then I can feel her sort of steadying it
right into the center. And then at some point,
I'm just very clear, steady, grounded in center.
As I mentioned earlier, lavender has continued
to stay with me maybe longer than other plants
that we've sat with in the Plant Wisdom Circle
and I had this experience one morning. It was
maybe a couple days after the circle. I occasionally
wake up with a subtle level of anxiety before
I'm fully awake and oriented to the day. And
when this happens, I try to linger there as long
as I can to touch into what's going on underneath
so I can just be present with with it so I can
hold it. But what was interesting was I could
feel lavender there. I hadn't taken any of her
that morning because it was early morning. And
with her presence, she was helping me kind of
hold this frequency that felt wide and Strong
like I felt held and when my body would dip into
that sense of anxiety It was like the anxiety
was just held and I could expand around it and
I didn't contract into it And I didn't even need
to know what was underneath it I was just held
in this really incredibly healing frequency where
all was okay, and it felt very godlike this very
spiritual Field of energy, but I knew that it
was lavender and I was really impressed with
her With her frequency with that healing frequency,
and I'll talk a little bit more about that later
but something else I was sensing as Lavender
stayed with me over the days and weeks after
the circle was that she was acting as a bridge
between the conscious and the unconscious mind
Similar to how it feels when I do cranial sacral
sessions, there's this subtle yet very clear
field that becomes available when that space
is held. And there's so much possibility that
opens when that bridge between conscious and
unconscious is opened. It's kind of a between
the worlds type feeling, yet all can be accessed.
And that's why I thought it was interesting that
that's where Lavender met me that morning. And
in this way, I feel like she works with the element
of water. I also feel very strongly associated
with the element of air and earth, which I'll
touch on in a minute. But this. Water quality
this liminal space between conscious and unconscious
mind it feels like very watery like I mentioned
with the cranial sacral rhythm and that fluid
and the the depth that lavender can access and
Allow us to align that depth with the conscious
mind or with the the mental level like she's
Bridging the feeling and the mental level to
some degree And she was highlighting this anxiety
there in the experience that I was sharing earlier.
So she was highlighting this anxiety there and
holding it and just creating this container of
healing. And I honestly don't know if I've woken
up with anxiety since then, now that I'm thinking
about it. So a beautiful ally to help support
those deeper healing spaces and bringing to the
conscious mind what might be stirring under the
surface that may be hard to access sometimes.
I would say she has the archetype of the healer.
And I know all medicinal plants are extremely
healing, but not all of their spirits. quite
embody that archetype, if that makes sense. There's
just something about her frequency that immediately
invokes the field of healing, the frequency of
healing. And there's this force field that I
feel that comes in with this power accompanied
by that frequency. And I'm guessing that's why
she's found in so many healing spaces. It's why
so many healing modalities and healers work with
her. with her essential oils and bring her scent
into sessions. Aside from that calming aroma,
I think there's another layer here and she really
wants to be worked within healing spaces. There's
also a theme of clarity, clarification, the third
eye, the head, the brain, brain activation. There's
an uplifting quality that accompanies the calmness
of the body, like the body gets to downshift
and the mind doesn't slow down with it, it clarifies.
Lavender feels very tied to the mental realm
for me and in this way it works with the element
of air, clarifying the mind, helping support
mental astuteness, clearing headaches, etc. In
our Plant Wisdom Circle in 2024, she brought
me into a very clear and steady state after clearing
some agitation in my system and told me that
our attention is our most precious resource that
we have and we have to cultivate it. And she
asked me to sit in silent meditation more often
to hone my attention. I often do visualizations
or check in with my chakras or tend to my energy
field and she was saying it's really important
to just sit and do nothing in order to hone that
skill of focused presence the way that when our
mind drifts off we corral it back in that practice
over and over again is something that really
hones our attention and hones our ability to
focus and the more we cultivate that the more
we're building this precious resource of attention
that holds so much possibility for power. And
then she went on to show me the importance of
clearing the agitation and healing parts of myself
that keep me reactive in situations so I can
be a steady presence and not engage in like the
energy of fight or drama. And that itself is
reflective and helps the other person. But I
have to build that resilience in my own system.
And part of how to do that is by honing my attention,
my focus and my presence. So again, this idea
of clearing the agitation in order to bring steadiness
and presence and attention and that clarity is
a mirror for other people, but also helps diffuse
situations. Like when you can really be steady
in your own energy, there's something that it
just cuts through noise and is very powerful.
I also remember from our Plant Wisdom Circle
in 2024 that there is a big theme of air and
communication. Someone mentioned that lavender
must be a Gemini. Dispersing information, spreading
love and the frequency of healing all across
the world. There are themes of playfulness combined
with power, encompassing duality. There is a
big theme of bees and fairies. Someone saw Lavender
sprinkling fairy dust all over the dead earth
and returning life back to those areas. In that
2024 circle, she told me that she loves pollinators.
She loves sharing and spreading her medicine
all over. So that would kind of align with the
Gemini theme. And this year in my online membership
when we sat with Lavender, She brought me into
this really peaceful and beautiful scene where
I was feeling myself in a huge field amongst
the lavender stalks, gently blowing in the wind,
being caressed by the wind. It was a wide open
blue sky. The bees were flying everywhere and
it was such a joy and a pleasure to feel the
bees flying around and caressing the flowers.
It felt like soft and expansive and light and
She said this is where life happens the buzzing
of the pollinators making love to the flowers
and how open and free it all felt and she was
really harping on this moment being where all
life happens again this importance of really
being present, but also this moment of pleasure
and joy with the bees and the flying and the
meeting of the flowers and literally creating
life with this act of love and pollination. And
then she wanted me to hone my vision into imagining
a world with waters running free and clear and
humans able to drink out of the wild waters again.
and a council of grandmothers guiding us and
leading the world, and technology allowing us
to create in eco -friendly ways, and everyone
having access to basic needs, housing, food,
water. And this visioning is something she's
done with me before, and I feel like she's a
very powerful ally. for manifestation and visualizing
the change we want to see. And I think that's
really a big part of why she's saying your attention
is your biggest resource, such a powerful resource
when you can hone your attention and your presence.
And also in the the 2024 Plant Wisdom Circle,
she had showed me this really powerful ceremony
to lead involving clear courts. And ever since
then, I've felt the crystalline energies really
present with her medicine. So the element of
earth being really strong in her too. And the
ceremony had to do with us cultivating that focused
presence I was talking about. And in my vision,
I was in a large circle of people and we all
had these lavender antenna sprouting from our
heads and they were pointing towards the center
of the circle like dipped towards the center
where a giant clear quartz crystal was hovering
above us in the center and we were infusing prayers
and attention and intentions. with laser focus
into the clear quartz for peace, for love, for
justice, for unity consciousness to prevail on
earth, for the wisdom of the feminine to return,
for the healing of the planet. And we are going
to plant that crystal into the earth. This giant
energetic clear quartz crystal to be infused
with all of this beauty. and prayer and energy
and she showed me how to lead this ceremony and
to bring a bunch of smaller physical clear quartz
crystals to infuse at the ceremony and then plant
them in the earth all over the city and through
the the wild lands when we were done. So I ended
up leading that ceremony a few months later which
was really potent and I had all these quartz
crystals I went around planting in the earth
wherever I felt called to and I really encourage
you to do this too. So whether it's just on your
own visualizing and planting seeds of harmony
and beauty and peace into that clear quartz in
your mind and then energetically planting it
deep deep deep down into the earth or holding
a clear quartz while you do this and planting
it physically into the earth, or doing that ceremony
with a group of people. I would love that, and
Lavender would love that, for more circles of
people with their Lavender antenna programming
these energetic quartz crystals and planting
them deep down into the earth so that we're literally
programming the frequency of the earth. clear
quartz is a crystal that holds potential. It's
like a blank slate for receiving prayer. And
so when you program them with the frequencies
that you intend and plant them down into the
earth, it helps cultivate and spread that frequency
all through the earth. So just honor where the
ceremony came from. Give people the link to this
podcast, but do it. Spread the word. Lavender
wants this happening all over. So again, she's
showing us the power of our thoughts, the power
of our focused attention, and how when we can
utilize that power, we can bring that to life
on earth. She shows us how to bridge the realms
of air and earth. The focused mind and thought
and bringing that down into the frequency of
the earth grounding it into reality again that
pathway of manifestation from thought into form
and again that bridge between the conscious and
the unconscious the formless and form this unseen
and seen realms another theme we often find with
lavender is maternal lineage and the divine feminine,
the frequencies of the divine feminine, the resilience
and the power of the feminine. She was telling
me all about her resilience and hardiness one
time, how she can withstand drought and overwintering.
And then someone else in a circle two years ago
also received that message of of overwintering
and the importance of embracing the fullness
of the cycle. This is the part of the cycle that's
more often associated with the feminine, the
dark half of the year, the time when we can go
inward, the depths of the power of the darkness,
and she's really talking about her resilience
and hardiness because of that overwintering.
process and the way that she can just be with
that and withstand that and the heartiness that
comes from that. She's also told me before that
she's so much more powerful and strong than people
give her credit for. Like the power of the feminine,
that's only perceived often in one way, in like
a soft gentle way. But that's not her, even though
she's also that. She told me that her medicine
is so multifaceted. again a very Gemini theme
there, that she basically does everything. Not
in a bragging way, but just the truth of showing
me all that she does and the power of her medicine
and how most people don't honor her for the multi
-dimensionality of the power because she's so
common and often pigeonholed into, oh yeah, lavender
is just a calming herb, something like that.
And one person in that 2024 circle heard her
say, I may be popular, but I am not common. So
she's really stepping forward and showing us
her breadth, her depth, her vastness, not just
this one way that we have learned to work with
Lavender. She's so much more than that. And I
feel like that is coinciding with this. expansion
of the feminine and reawakening all of the dimensionality
of what that means. And finally, I just want
to name again that element of earth and how lavender
very much connects us to the deep earth, to the
stone beings, the crystal beings, to the caves
and caverns, to the deeper aspects of the earth
body. to that slow time, that ancient time, that
ancestral time. She reminds us of that longer
timeline that stones remind us of, that the element
of earth reminds us of, bringing back the teachings
of the ancient world and the way of the feminine
that's rising, being resurrected right now. I
often see images of an elderly woman or a grandmother
so rooted in her wisdom with a hat of lavender
flowers, so old, so timeless, so wise, so playful
and empowered and also laughing. So again, that
duality of playful and powerful and laughter
and seriousness. All right, so that's it for
the general themes. I'm gonna start sharing some
experiences from folks at this past year's Plant
Wisdom Circle and then my own experience from
this year as well. All right, so the first person
was told that play is a form of rest. It is a
way to get us out of the hyper thinking mind
and She had a lot of visuals of children at play
and the teaching to surrender in order to fly.
She was first pulled down and very grounded and
then felt like she was being lifted up and was
flying. So again, that dual experience of that
very grounding, calming energy combined with
that mental uplifting, that mental clarity. She
was also invited to lay on the earth and roll
down a hill in her vision It was this sense of
surrender where she was just allowing The roll
down the hill to take her where she was needing
to go where she was ready to go she wasn't trying
to control it and she could feel waves of energy
moving through her body and then Lavender told
her that She's healing her alongside the other
plants that this person has been working with
as well. And Lavender said, we are an interprofessional
team and to remember rest and healing and play.
So she can step more fully into this honoring
of her gifts and who she is and into this kind
of queen -like archetype. And this image of her
meditating on top of a lighthouse for people
to find as she embodies more of this archetype
of the healer that she's being called to step
forward into and more fully into herself as she
does this. And again, rest, healing and play
were these qualities of what would help lead
her there. This next person felt deep relaxation
washing over her. She felt very heavy and succumbing
to the heaviness in the best possible way. She
said it felt really good and she was becoming
one with and sinking into the earth and feeling
the sense of strength in that. When you are one
with earth you have all the strength of earth
and all the resource of earth. So these themes
of surrender and strength and to rest. And she
had this interesting experience where she could
feel really strong with her eyes closed. Lavender
was inviting her to look up with her eyes closed,
and she's never tried that before or had the
experience of looking up with her eyes closed,
and it felt really empowering. And she had this
sense of, wow, what would it be like? and feel
like in my body if I could meet the world in
this way and how different it would feel to meet
the world in both this restful and strong empowered
place. And she could feel the light of lavender
washing over her and the words rest, root, illuminate.
She also described the experience as being heavenly.
and subterranean at the same time, and also felt
amethyst very present, so another crystalline
being. This next person said she immediately
felt so calm and a very potent, very deep, very
rooted energy, but then simultaneously felt the
sense of being uplifted. Like the smell and the
scent was the rising energy, but then it was
coupled with the calming energy in her body and
understanding that lavender is very hearty and
she's not showy, but she's very potent medicine.
And in her vision, she was walking through a
misty field of lavender and laid down and Lavender
created a cocoon around her and tucked her in
and her whole nervous system settled and she
was just resting and rejuvenating herself and
then she saw one of the flowers on the stalk
pop open and it became an oxygen mask and she
felt it was deeply resuscitating and rejuvenating
with this oxygen flowing into her. And in her
journey, the altar at the center of our circle
became a beautiful purple flame. And then she
felt called to make art with Lavender and received
so many ideas for how to make art with Lavender.
Lavender really wanted to partner with her in
this, and she felt the connection to the fairy
world. And at the end, Lavender wanted to show
her that the lavender essential oil she uses
and many of the essential oils in general are
not made lovingly like the plants are not harvested
lovingly when making these essential oils and
lavender invited her to seek out mindfully made
essential oils and I just want to say a little
aside here that if you work with essential oils
just know that it takes So many plants, hundreds,
sometimes thousands of plants in order to make
one little bottle of essential oil. So use them
so sparingly, like in very special sacred moments,
because there's just so many living plants that
go into one drop of the oil. I encourage everyone
to go out and seek mindfully made essential oils.
This next person was being rocked, like being
rocked on the ocean or in a cradle or a hammock
and she heard Nora Jones's voice and was brought
into that kind of frequency of how Nora Jones's
voice makes her feel that same kind of energy
and brought into the subterranean landscape as
well. into a cave and she was watching a drop
of water flow down a stalactite and slowly drop
off. And Lavender was standing next to her as
a wise guide telling her to just wait and watch
and how slow it was to watch that water flowing
down and slowly dropping off. And this person
could feel the urgency in her body as it was
waiting. And Lavender was encouraging her to
drop into that slow time, that Earth time, that
ancient time, like I was talking about before.
And this person was aware of the parts of her
that felt anxious or in that urgency. And these
parts of her in that anxious or urgent state
were invited to come into the cradle into the
hammock with them. So this feeling of gathering
all the parts of herself to be just rocked in
this gentle cradle and it felt so good. And then
she was thinking about and showing the Chinese
finger trap and this idea of moving toward and
softening into something instead of pulling away
and the tension that it creates. It's like this
idea that when we're resisting against something,
it creates tension. And when we find acceptance
with what is, then we can soften. And that softening
of acceptance and presence then creates the change.
and that image of the finger trap and the experience
of softening towards, so a coming together, a
unification, less of that resistance or battling
of the self or life. And that same energy of
the finger trap was moving through her body.
It was something that she could sense throughout
her body where there was tension and instead
of forcing it or pulling apart there was this
soft melting towards the softening towards the
center and it was loosening all these areas of
her body place by place. So Lavender really showing
her how to find these places of resistance and
tension inside of her body and bringing those
parts that were battling something inside this
finger trap, bringing them together, softening
presence coming into that acceptance with what
is and in that there is a softening and a unification
that can happen. It was very healing and she
felt like she was just being healed by Lavender
and letting her work her slow magic. on her nervous
system. And Lavender told her very specifically,
I'm not here to calm or relax you. I'm here to
just bring you back to baseline. Let me be with
you all the time where your nervous system is
supposed to be. So again, this idea that Lavender
is not gonna make us fall asleep, but bring our
nervous system and the the urgency mindset the
fast pace that we've entered into as a culture
as the new norm and bring us back to baseline
which often feels slow but in that space we're
very clear that's where we have our clarity our
center our home we're rooted back into that baseline
of nervous system vitality this next person really
Got brought into the the coolness of lavender
she was brought into the coolness of the earth
and then the coolness of a sailboat in the water
and the breeze and then she slipped off the sailboat
and into the water and Felt how good it felt
to be with the ocean and Was feeling into the
variability of human connection, how human connection
can feel so good and then it can feel so trying
and hard and painful and scratchy and then loving
and Lavender told her love is an ocean, so liquid,
so vast and she can be held in a big fluid environment.
that it could never be so simple or small. And
she felt herself held in a big fluid environment
and then felt like she herself could be in that
space. She was being invited into that kind of
oceanic fluid space. And then she had a memory,
a rise of watching turtles slowly swimming. floating
through the water and their slowness and that
memory bringing her into the nervous system state
of that slow time that the turtles move in. And
Lavender said, I am the ocean of tenderness.
This next person was showing her the interrelationship
between grief and joy and that the deeper she
goes into her grief the more capacity for joy
she's carving and Lavender is there to help hold
the grief and Lavender told this person to plant
lots of her around and let the wind blow her
seeds everywhere because we need so much holding
of the grief right now and there's a lot more
of that to come. This next person had a vision
of her friends who lost their house in the fire
in 2020 in the Napa Valley and how there's so
much lavender there and she could feel the the
tenderness of the loss. So Lavender brought her
there and then she brought her into the caves
of France. Like she felt like she was time traveling
back in time to these ancient caves of France
and the French coast by the ocean and the rough
seas and felt like there was something really
ancient about her medicine. This next person
saw the many different lavender hues and she
was floating in the ocean and rocking on the
waves and felt like she was in the Mediterranean
and the south of France also and saw all the
giant copper distillery containers that make
perfume there and then she was in Morocco and
North Africa and then Mesopotamia and could feel
lavender all across the earth and how tied she
was to all of these ancient cultures and this
sense that lavender is ancient and she's been
around a really long time and that the wisdom
she brings is ancient but also so needed right
now because it's timeless and transcends time.
This next person started with a little tingling
in the back of her neck and throat and then dropped
down into the ocean and was a whale the whole
time. Like she was living inside a whale's body
and she could feel the slowness of the whale
heartbeat in particular. That was what felt really
potent for her. And then her thoughts would pick
up again in her brain and then the whale nervous
system would take over again and bring her back
into that sense of really deep slowness and the
slowness of that heartbeat and bringing her back
into time. with that slower time. Like the heartbeat
was a slower time keeper, a slower rhythm that
she could orient to. And she could hear whale
song in the water and the splashing and the whale
love and was just in this really beautiful connection
with the whales and that deep time. and every
moment in her experience was so stretched out
and so relaxed and she felt so held and then
towards the end there was a tingling in her third
eye and she heard it's okay to let go. This next
person had Lavender affirm for her that she has
everything that she needs and she could feel
the wisdom of the plants as something ancestral,
deep and old, and that there are so many resources
in the forest. The plants are here that they
provide everything she needs to be able to help
her. And she's about to go on this backpacking
trip, and Lavender was just reminding her that
she has a team of support all around her all
the time. The plants, the angels, the guides,
the ancestors, and packing has felt kind of heavy
for this person. She doesn't want to bring that
heaviness with her. But when that does come up,
she was shown that she can just ask for an ancestor
or a plant or the earth to hold her and to just
enjoy engaging with the medicine from the earth
and the sun, which is providing energy and medicine
for her all the time. So my own experience this
time. I was brought into a crystalline world
that Lavender was showing me is always here.
And it's like this world that overlays this world.
And she was showing me that we are a conductor
of that crystalline energy and also a program
of that crystalline power. And there is a very
steady, clear, strong presence that I was brought
into. and a profound stillness and clarity and
this is again after moving a little bit in the
earlier part like I mentioned before kind of
when she helps clear the agitation like you're
aware of the agitation you're moving a little
bit and then all of a sudden you're just in that
clear place of aligned center and she showed
me that she acts as a portal to that deep earth
dimension that crystalline dimension and that
through our connection here we encode the world
so this kind of feels like an extension of my
experience last time and she's just going deeper
into it with me and the energy in my hands was
so strong and so palpable it was like there was
this buzzing in my hands and all around my body
like i'm a vibrating Energy like i am a crystal
vibrating and i was thinking about how crystals
are often drawn with lines emitting from their
body like their sparkling. And that's kind of
how i felt like i was sparkling like a crystal
and energy was emitting from me. And then she
said i am a receiver and i receive information
from the field. I am also a field of information
I can always tap into and that my field of information
is always linked to this wider field of information
and I can receive the information from that field
into mine and that I can always tap into it that
I carry it in me and with me that we all do and
she told me this new earth crystalline matrix
that is so deeply ancient is coming and she She
told me that we are all a transmitter of direct
gnosis, that we all have access to this mystical
gnosis that we can perceive and receive from
the field, from this crystalline matrix, this
crystalline field of the Earth body and of life.
And she told me that she carries the archetype
of the mystic and helps us anchor into our own
mystical nature, our own direct spiritual embodied
knowing, and to really trust this and to become
channels and to do that to hone our attention,
our presence. And then we can literally be the
channels to manifest this energy on the earth.
And I felt this call to action, this inspired
action that comes from being embodied and clear.
So when we embody this clear channel, when we're
in full presence and connected to the spiritual
quality of life, it allows our power and the
power of earth and the power of life to move
through us. And then the song by Ayla Nereo called
From the Ground Up came into my head. If you
don't know that song, I highly recommend you
listen to it for some powerful motivation and
inspiration. And it felt like Lavender was calling
us into action. She is calling the spiritual
warriors to help hone their skills for these
times, skills for the quote unquote fight. which
she said in jest, showing me that the fight involves
things like programming giant quartz crystals
and burying them. And she also told me that she
links us to the fairy world and I could see and
feel and hear the fairy bells and twinkles and
fairy sounds and instruments being played all
around the group during our time together and
it felt very linked to this crystalline world
that we're all connected to and trying to build
again in this harmonious way on earth again.
So she's really calling us very strongly into
claiming our responsibility as co -creators here,
helping us steady our presence, our focus, our
attention, so we can have clear access to our
field of information, so we can gather insight
from the field of consciousness. not from the
programs that have been implanted in us from
society, from growing up, from that urgency mindset,
that unworthiness mindset, needing to prove ourselves
or all the ways in which we've all been taught
that we are separate from God, that we can't
trust our deeply intuitive nature, that things
have to be rational or proven in order to be
real, that our bodies betray us and really reminding
us that those programs are false and that we
can gather that pure connection with source,
with spirit, with God, with goddess, with nature,
with great mystery, that we are that, that we
carry the ancient crystal and earth within us.
and she helps us communicate between those realms
of form and formless. We are embodied and yet
we are consciousness. We are the emergence of
the two aspects of the world, the masculine and
the feminine, bringing us into that sense of
wholeness where we can manifest form from formless
when we embody this power. It really is so amazing.
When we think about it when we allow ourselves
to Open up to all that we contain and all that
we are So there you have it Lavender's weavings
