A Mindful Plant Sit
Connecting with our aromatic plant allies allows us to receive their amazing gifts and endless messages! Sitting with a plant (or even its essential oil) is like sitting silently with another person. When we sit with the plant, we’re listening as the plant whispers subtle messages into our minds. In a comfortable and quiet space, try sitting with a plant and ask, “What do I need to learn from you today?” Given time, your plant will share its simple—or sometimes complex—message.
