Communicating With Plants

In order to communicate with plants (or people), you have to be able to regard them as your equals. If you are afraid (ashamed) to talk with homeless people, beggars, crazy people, etc. then you�ll also find it difficult to talk with plants. However, it�s actually easier to communicate with plants than it is to communicate with people because plants don�t have defenses and self-importance agendas in place which engage our own defenses and self-importance agendas. To feel with plants (or people) doesn�t mean to gush all over them; all it means is to recognize them as beings whose feelings are as important to them as your feelings are to you.

When first learning to communicate with plants, it helps to be in contact with the same individual plants on a daily basis. Ideally you should go out, preferably alone, to the same tree or meadow for at least a few minutes every day. If you can�t do this, cultivating garden or house plants will work just as well, although it�s easiest to communicate with large trees. This is because from a feeling (light fiber) point of view, humans and trees are very much alike � the light fiber (auric glow) configurations of both humans and trees are quite similar, whereas that of insects, for example, is very different from either. It is easier for humans and trees to communicate with each other than it is for either to communicate with insects.

Now even the least psychic person, going up to a large tree, should be able to pick up something of the personality (mood) of that tree. How does the tree make you feel � happy, sad, loving, jolly, heavy? Can you pick up its sex: sense a male or female presence � or its age: young and vigorous or old and mellow?

Hello Bob
Welcome to Bellaonline. Just as guidance, the forum isn't for the posting of articles, it is for discussion. I've shortened the piece you've posted accordingly. We'd be very interested to discuss plant communication with you if you'd like to do this, it is a topic I'm very interested in.
You can put the links to your site, newsletter and so on in the signature space rather than in the discussion topic.

I was interested in Bob's take on communicating with plants. Some people have an aura that would show them to be particularly good with animals or growing things... not me. Just don't have it. Inside plants never do well in my care even if I am doing exactly what their primary caregiver does. There's got to be some reason some plants just bloom under the love and care of their special someone. I once had a ficus tree given to me. It started dropping leaves as soon as it was in my presence (I know, not to take this too personally, they are notorious shedders) but I babied this plant. I fed it as instructed- didn't feed it as advised- moved it- didn't move it- sang to it - prayed to it- all to no avail - and kept faith even until the last leaf fell. It turned its back on me and kept the grudge. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ah Trishh...you're 'over-caring'- I just forget about my plants til they shout for water. You kill plants with kindness sometimes. Mind you what my plants would say about the first class neglect they get from me is another matter <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
