My belief is that all plants have incredible healing properties if we utilise what nature is offering us. Each card is designed to provide Insight and to aid in recognising an issue and facilitating its release or simply in using a particular plant for personal support. I’ve included tinctures, decoctions, flower essences, essential oils and herbal teas as part of the Insight as they can assist in the healing process.
Many of the Insights in the book embrace spiritual practices for personal growth and balance, including yoga, meditation and fire ceremony. Yogic philosophy teaches us to look at all perspectives with an open heart and mind…then ultimately decide what is best for ourselves as individuals. One of the main philosophies of yoga is to find our own truth as myriad philosophies on spiritual growth exist today. The Insights in the book suggest specific practices…many of them evolving from yogic philosophy. This is just one way to approach a situation. I have found through my life experience that different spiritual practices and philosophies have similar beliefs and outcomes, although individual in their approach.

Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
