There are three things our culture has forgotten: basic health, healing, and holiness. All three words have the same linguistic root, and the concepts have the same goal: sanity, integrity, completeness, salvation, happiness, liberation, magic.

 Working with the Medicine of the Forest can be useful for anyone wanting to develop a deeper relationship with the Self or as a means of furthering one's connection with the spirit world in general. The many emotional issues that we encounter under various names (e.g. Depression, Childhood Trauma, PTSD, Compulsive Fear, etc.) are really avenues to guide us toward an initiation into our true selves.
By working with the plants in this way, we go beyond merely talking about ourselves and our "problems". We are able to access an energetic experience of our blockages in a way that opens the possibility for more rapid change. By calling on the Spirits of the Forest to help us, we can get out of our own way, and remember who we truly are and for what purpose we've been brought here.
The "healer" can be a conduit for the healing energy of the universe and and a holder of awareness for the person seeking healing, but really he/she does nothing more than create and hold a safe, grounded space for others to do their own healing work. It is important to remember that we are all in the process of unfolding, healing, and becoming whole. We are in a global process of awakening−a grand, alchemical project whose goal is the reconnection of spirit and matter. We need to help each other wake up. We can look to the plants to help. They are waiting.
