Your dream journey experiences always contain transformational energy and power that will open and expand you. The Plant People don’t give advice, suggestions, information, platitudes, or “shoulds.” None of which have any depth or real power.
If you receive what seems like advice from a plant such as, “You need to lighten up and play more,“ it is good advice if taken at face value but it has as much depth and transformational power in it as the statement, “Wear rain boots when it’s raining to keep your feet dry.” The plants do not abandon you to figure it out all on your own. “Great, I know I need to have more fun and lighten up, but now what? What am I supposed to do about it?”
What plants give is medicine – i.e., something that is transformational and healing. It is always useful and can be put into practice. They show you the ‘what’ and provide you with the ‘how’ and will guide and support you to utilize what you have received. When they tell you something like, “You need to lighten up and play more,” what they are really conveying is the medicine of lightness of being and joy because you need it. It is tangible, real medicine – like drinking peppermint tea to ease indigestion. They are letting you know that you can call on them when you are feeling heavy and dark in your spirit and they will transform that heaviness into light and joy.
