PLANT MEDICINE CEREMONIES

 Until you make the unconscious conscious, 

 it will rule your life and you will call it fate

• Carl Jung

Plant medicines, what is there value and why would they be linked to the subconscious mind?  It all has to do with the critical factor.  That is what separates our conscious and our subconscious mind from communicating.  Most of all the problems we constantly battle in life are hidden from us in our subconscious mind.  Those things we have had trauma from that were too overwhelming to look at were eventually separated by the critical factor.  The outcome unfortunately limits the pathways and connections from our subconscious to our conscious mind.  Our subconscious is running the show whether we believe it or not.  If we are unaware of what is hiding in our subconscious we will never move forward in life.  

Consciousness - The having of perceptions, thoughts and feelings;awareness.

This is one definition of a word that simply cannot be clearly defined.  And with that I will ask the question?  Are plants conscious?  Are mushrooms conscious?  I personally believe they are.  I believe they can heal trauma and help gain insight.  One of the reasons for this is that when we are under the influence the critical factor is open.  This means that needed communication can be made between the subconscious and the conscious mind.  New pathways can be established the and the process of healing can begin.

Plant medicine ceremonies can be profound tools for healing and transformation - but they require respect,preparation and integration.  They are not for everyone, but for the right person at the right time with the right guidance, they can change your life.
