Plants can 'talk' and scientists have recorded the sound they make as they die of thirst Plants make sounds outside human earshot in response to stress - from being cut or a lack of water - that can be heard up to five metres away. Are they talking to each other?

I am seeking volunteers that smoke full time, casually smoke, smoke OP's on the odd occasion, ex-smokers and closet smokers.🙈😆 I see you!!!

This is not a conversation about getting you to quit, its about exploring the core issues at hand that got you hooked and creating awareness around the addiction for you and myself.

However, if you are interested, I do have processes that may help you if you have been trying to give them up.

Please DM me if you are interested and I can send you a booking link. Thanks in advance.

John knew the play.

I found these questions and thought I'd share. How do you see the difference between knowledge and wisdom?

How do you relate to knowledge? Do you collect information like some people collect items? Do you regard knowledge as a avenue to wisdom? Or do you consider wisdom something radically different from knowledge?

What is a mushroom essence?

Mushroom essences are a vibrational energetic preparation produced under lunar influence, from various parts of the fruiting bodies and or mycellium.

All living things express energetic fields, these energetic fields hold information. By harnessing this energetic information and using water as the medium to hold this energy we can the experience the wisdom the mushroom kingdom has to share, when taken as an essence as drops under the tongue.

As a mushroom essence practitioner I make the dose remedies from stock essences created by Robert Rogers the creator of mushroom essences and author of the book - Vibrational healing from the kingdom of fungi, Mushroom essences. Robert has spent over 26 years researching and immersing himself in the world of fungi to birth these essences.
I now have the honour of sharing the mushroom essences and wisdom of the fungi kingdom.

How to take a mushroom essence.

The mushroom essences are taken as drops under the tongue or in a glass of water.
Take 4 drops at night time before sleep for 28 days, a lunar cycle.
The essences can be commenced at any stage of the lunar cycle.
If the journey is too intense the dose can be adjusted to taking 1 or 2 drops during the day.
No more than 3 essences should be combined and taken together at one time.

Been busy foraging cranberries and rose hips. I'm going to dry the rose hips out and use them in teas through winter and we have made cranberry jam out of the millions of cranberries we picked 🍀

This is one reason why buying cheap multi vitamins (or really cheap vitamins) is a bad idea.

Centrum contains Titanium Dioxide which is the same ingredient in skittles. Skittles has a lawsuit against them at the moment due to having this ingredient in them. It's illegal in Europe to have Titanium dioxide in food.

Titanium dioxide also can store in the body for long periods of time.

Forest Bathing even mentions grounding yourself in nature

"..when your bare feet touch the ground, you are receiving a dose of the earths powerful healing electrons."

"... we know exactly what we mean when we describe someone as grounded: solid, strong, balanced and centered.... when we bring our bodies into contact with the electrical charge of the earth... when we are electrically grounded we are in harmony with nature."

We are so disconnected wearing shoes with rubber soles and being in offices/houses all day.

Forest Bathing

The next book I've been reading is Forest Bathing.

It does strike me as odd that we need a book to tell us to get into nature and that' it's good for us 😂 it's pretty interesting he goes into the studies of his research over the years.

In the section "The Power of Trees" he speaks about what exactly makes us change mental states in the forest? How are the trees doing this?
He concludes that it's the phytoncides, which is a chemical that they produce, a bit like natural aromatherapy coming from the trees. The natural oils in the plants are released into the air and that's what we are breathing in and smelling while near them. If it is warmer the trees produce more. I remember learning about the Blue Mountains in NSW, Australia and how they appear blue but it's just because it's the eucalyptus fragrance in the air.

Evergreens like pine trees, cedars and spruces are the biggest producers of the phytoncides.

He actually went on to test these on Natural kills cells and these increased in activity.

Wild Chamomile

This guy grows like a w**d in Alaska. Funny, it's nickname is PinappleWeed, and the flower does have a pineapple flavor, not the after taste, that's definitely a w**dy taste but the first taste is.

According to The Boreal Herbal if you squeeze the head it releases a pineapple scent...(runs off to check) ok yes it does.

A good reminder would be to remember what this looks like because if you get a stinging nettle sting it can help relive it.

Just like Chamomile Officinalis it can be used for calming the body and falling asleep.

You can eat this raw or dry it out. How do you dry it? Very simply just get some string and hang it upside down (roots up)

What a beautiful reminder.... we aren't created the same and we can each offer so many different things.

This is from the book Instagram Power

Sounds are back in Ulladulla!

Check out Katie work 🎶

Next book 📚 anyone else read this book yet? I've started to read this and it's inspiring me to write my own 🤔

So far this is pretty good book. What are you reading latley?

Oh this is a saver! I'm not sure of who created this but thank you!

Out hiking the other day and I was trying to remember if a plant I came across was poisonous or not.

Dandelions

We have thousands of dandelions spreading around the yard and Alaska looks taken over with yellow dots

I’m taking it as a sign and going to harvest those in the yard.

(For safety make sure they haven’t had pesticides sprayed on them or close to a highway )

Eating the roots of the dandelion is great for the liver, you can dig up your dandelions and dry out the roots.

You can add the leaves to your salads. The leaves are good for your kidneys.

Then you can also eat the flowers, add them to your salad.

And we call it a w**d 🤷🏽‍♀️

Here are some interesting facts about the dandelion flower:

The dandelion is the only flower that represents the 3 celestial bodies of the sun, moon and stars. ☀️ 🌙 ⭐️. The yellow flower resembles the sun, the puff ball resembles the moon and the dispersing seeds resemble the stars.

The dandelion flower opens to greet the morning and closes in the evening to go to sleep. 😴

Every part of the dandelion is useful: root, leaves, flower. It can be used for food, medicine and dye for coloring.

Up until the 1800s people would pull grass out of their lawns to make room for dandelions and other useful “w**ds” like chickw**d, malva, and chamomile.

The name dandelion is taken from the French word “dent de lion” meaning lion’s tooth, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves. 🦁

Dandelions have one of the longest flowering seasons of any plant.

Dandelion seeds are often transported away by a gust of wind and they travel like tiny parachutes. Seeds are often carried as many as 5 miles from their origin!

Animals such as birds, insects and butterflies consume nectar or seed of dandelion.🐦 🐛 🐜 🦋 🐝.

Dandelion flowers do not need to be pollinated to form seed.

Dandelion can be used in the production of wine and root beer. Root of dandelion can be used as a substitute for coffee. 🍷 🍺

Dandelions have sunk their roots deep into history. They were well known to ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, and have been used in Chinese traditional medicine for over a thousand years.

Dandelion is used in folk medicine to treat infections and liver disorders. Tea made of dandelion act as diuretic.

If you mow dandelions, they’ll grow shorter stalks to spite you.

Dandelions are, quite possibly, the most successful plants that exist, masters of survival worldwide. 💪

A not so fun fact: Every year countries spend millions on lawn pesticides to have uniform lawns of non-native grasses, and we use 30% of the country’s water supply to keep them green.

Birch trees

These guys are pretty amazing.

You can rip the bark off, because it’s paper thin and use it to start a fire. Now this isn’t recommended because it can kill the tree, but if your desperate to start a fire, that stuff goes it as fast as fuel

The natives of Alaska used to use the bark to make baskets to put the berries in that they pick. The bark has anti bacterial properties to so this kept the berries fresher for longer 🍒

If you dry the leaves you can use them for urinary issues and to help with high cholesterol. Just need to put them into hot water and drink like a tea 🫖

The inner bark (after you peel back the white bark) can be brewed to help with diarrhea.

The leaves and branches are anti inflammatory (salicin) is in it. So it can throw it in the bath to help with muscles or brew it in a tea for headaches, gout, sprains.

Sinus infection? Steam up the leaves and breathe it in or put the birch water through a Neti pot.

My next little project is a little simpler than Birch Water/Birch Syrup

I’ve collected some of the fresh leaves from the Birch trees and going to turn it into a tonic (to drink).

Adding some Apple Cider Vinegar in it, it will slowly draw out the vitamins and minerals from the Birch Leaves and in around a months time we can use this as a supplement.
