News — Vibrational Nutrition

St. Teresa of Avila (1515 - 1582) was a remarkable woman and after a near death experience, a spiritual awakening began, in which she cultivated a system of meditation,  that sought quieting the mind to such an extent that God could be heard speaking. She had a great desire for learning and when the Inquisition, in 1559, forbade women to read, Teresa turned to God and asked Him to teach her soul about divine love. She then began to write from her own experience verses dogma. Most of what we see from her writing today is probably reigned way back, as her writing fell into the hands of those who opposed her work through out her life.

She uses nature in all of it's complexity, often to help us understand the human experience. Deepak Chopra has a quote that expands on this. "The force fields of Nature are the force fields of Consciousness. They are force fields of Knowledge". 

Working with our collective nourishment - the food we eat - with grace filled intent, ‘a new language you will learn,’ giving you ‘more generous eyes’ to ‘see auras around different foods’ and 'hear the ‘songs of light’ and ‘know everything can sing’ (frequency/vibrations).

This is a fantastic study into one of the simplest forms of Natural Magic. Getting to know the foods we eat intimately.  Today we will explore Radish Leaf Salad Dressing and the gifts so freely given. 

Writing this book has been a labor of love. I have always been enchanted with plants in their many glorious forms, although I primarily interacted with them through story, archetypes, myth, scent, and vibration. I have been a certified aromatherapist and practicing flower essence practitioner for many years, so I primarily  experienced the plant kingdoms vibrancy in little bottles and potions.   

As nature is won't to do, she nudged me along along to a different path. She was ready for me to experience her in a new way. A very hands on way. She opened the gate to a charming farmette in Oregon. I answered the call with enthusiasm! And I was able to get my hands dirty for the first time. I fell in love with gardening, foraging, and wild crafting. I am able to keep ducks and a goose (I only keep one) as she is my faithful companion and partner in farm shenanigans.   

This became my moving meditation: taking care of my plant family and learning from them; walking with their wild cousins looking for nettle, mushrooms and fiddle head ferns. As I did so they started to whisper in my ear and heart and soon this book started to unfold for me. 

I cannot not take credit for this wonderful synopsis. Inner Traditions incredible editorial staff did a bang up job of summing up my work! 

From the bottom of my heart I am happy to share this work with you. 

With love,
