Welcome to Plant Spirit Medicine
Carole creates a safe space in which to experience your healing process. Plant Spirit Medicine is a deep healing modality based upon two ancient healing traditions: Classical Chinese Medicine and shamanism. Using Five Element Methodology, a plant spirit medicine practitioner learns to look to the underlying factor that is a source of a patient's dis-ease as well as their wholeness.
A Plant Spirit Medicine practitioner calls upon the extraordinary healing power of the plant spirits. Plant Spirit Medicine differs from many forms of herbalism in the central importance it places on the relationships between the plants, the practitioner and the patient before, during and after treatment. Both patient and practitioner alike are deeply connected to the plants that are called upon for healing. For the patient, relationship is established by introducing plants that have revealed their affinity for the constitutional elements in which the patient has lost balance. For the practitioner, this relationship is developed through shamanic journeying and ongoing friendship. The result is a deeply effective and elegant form of healing.
With Plant Spirit Medicine, we enter the dream of nature in order to restore ourselves to harmony and balance. Our ancestors lived their lives in this dream of nature - an existence in which there is no illusion of separation from nature. Plant Spirit Medicine restores us to this state of grace, which is our birthright.
For first hand accounts and more about the reality behind this transformational, yet gentle healing, see the book Plant Spirit Medicine by Eliot Cowan (1995, Swan Raven & Co) or to order a copy contact your local Plant Spirit Medicine Practitioner.
How Can Elemental Medicine Help You?
What to expect from a session?
The initial consultation lasts approximately 1 1/2 and 2 hours. In total confidence we will cover your family and medical history, Your current state of health, your reason for coming and your needs. This first session follows the traditional diagnosis system used in ancient Chinese 5 Element medicine, and gives the practitioner an opportunity to get an insight into the way that you may be best treated. as well allowing time for a healing relationship to begin to develop between you. There will also be some basic physical examination, such as pulse taking, and checking the alignment of your spine. The treatment normally begins on the second visit which is usually planned for a time within the next week, this session is shorter, usually between ¾ of an hour and 1 hour. During the treatment the practitioner will take your pulse frequently to assess how you respond to each part of the treatment. The treatment takes place on a couch, you do not need to remove any clothing.
We will work out a session plan which may cover a number of visits, aims of the sessions and the methods Carole may choose to use, etc.
How will I feel after a session?
After a session it is usual to feel quite relaxed and it is best if you can organize yourself to have a quiet time for the rest of the day following the treatment. Carole will always be available to talk to you as the effects of a session may be felt immediately or later on in the day, she will be able to explain the reactions and make suggestions. She can assess your pulses between sessions if it is necessary.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The following treatments are usually timed weekly at first and then will become more spread out, depending on individual needs.
As Carole's Elemental Medicine is a shared process of healing involving you, the Plants/Crystals etc. and your practitioner, it is something which needs to be honored with the appropriate amount of time for changes to occur. It is always difficult to predict how long this may be, but it is important that you are prepared to make the necessary commitment to enable your own process of healing to occur. It is not a treatment which is given as a one-off session. Please wear loose clothing.
