Happy Valentine’s Day dear People and Plants, My dream, my quiet excitement increases each time a person takes another step of connection with their beloved plant cousins. It occurred to me that you might not be aware fo what is possible, so here is your very own “My Plant Valentine” Checklist. It’s a gift from the hearts of the plants this Valentine’s Day. From where I stood a few decades ago, this was mostly a list of impossibilities, or even absurdities. But slowly, step by small unravelling step, shared from many adventuring and wise people (and plants), I began to have a garden of wondrous possibilities. Each date idea can be a singular adventure. You can mark each connection as you journey into the life-changing and sublimely supportive kingdom of plants. With plants you are never alone. Again, Happy Valentine’s Day. Much love, Regina and the Plants 

Are you using your plant music instrument? Or is it staying in a cupboard? Would you like to sell it to someone who is keen? Or would you enjoy being prompted and re-inspired to again connect with plant beings via their music? Recently I've had requests for second hand instruments, so please contact me with the price, and a few details about how much it has been used, and I will happily advertise it for you, currently for no fee. At a market two weeks ago., I enjoyed a conversation with a man who had bought his Bamboo M from the manufacturers at Damanhur community in northern Italy. Like many of us, he was inspired! He had begun with a host of ideas to experiment with the sounds of a wide variety of plants of all shapes, sizes and ages. However, also like many of us, his Bamboo has been out of use for ages, while other facets of life forced it to the background. As we exchanged thoughts and experiences. And he said his initial hopes and plans, I saw his energy rise, and I wonder if that sparked plant music to be heard this week at his home. What might prompt you to return to this magical music connection? Does the sunny weather call you to be outside in the Bush or your garden? Do newly washed windows, open to the warm air, and feeding your plants to support their summer growth, have you rekindling vegetal friendships? How about me reminding you that plants cannot only hear their music and ours, but the cells in their leaves can see you? They can sense, hear and see your presence! They tune into and respond to you, your family and clients, to each person’s individual energies, and give you sound healing to bring you back to your natural balance. We have run 25 monthly sound baths. With Trish the sound healer playing with four or five experienced plant musicians at each session. These are powerful, with each person feeling satisfied that their personal intention for the sound healing has been met. How's that for surprising? And the music from the plants varies widely each month - sometimes gentle, harmonious and flowing. Sometimes one plant may dominate. Or all of them will seem at times to lead at the same time., and after taking us on a journey., ending gently. Let me share 2 short stories with you from this week as I was sitting at an outdoor market. The first: a tall, tanned and healthy looking, white haired man came close to the tent and stopped still., looking surprised. He said he had goosebumps all over his body. And wanted to know what was causing this. (Of course, it was plant music.) He was so stunned and delighted it was affecting him so strongly. Second: Another man was encouraged by a woman friend to sit beside and interact with our well known Priscilla the prayer plant. What amazed him was the change in the music when he stood up and began to walk away. It became deeper, and the few of us listening all felt it was calling him back. When his friend sat and replaced him, Priscilla's music was clearly different. The next day, the two men were both still very affected by those experiences and by how it had relaxed them. One made a plant music download from our website, and the other was gathering details and plans to buy a bamboo. It definitely sounds like some recordings will be done by this very tech able soul. I hope this has prompted a few of you to smile with a Plant as you dust off and hook up your Bamboo or Ginkgo instrument. May you both relax and feel into this precious experience. And if it is time to on sell your Plant Music instrument to a new and excited owner, please let me know.
