Kate Watts  |  Good Rising Cacao


"Our experience of it all was quite profound and we both felt ourselves enter into a trance like state very quickly. Tuning in to each plant and the sound being transmitted through the devices was unique and also very familiar. Moments of pure symphony and then..."


Kate I feel the same as you, as a lifetime "Jack of all trades" and find that now "EVERYTHING - that we have learnt was gearing us up for the experience we are having right now."

TEDx Talk: Expanding the Boundaries of Communication with Regina Orchard and Music of the Plants

Time to Sell Your Plant Music Instrument? Or Not?

By Regina Orchard • December 4, 2024
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.

2023 Is Our Time! Creating New Ways Together

By Admin • March 27, 2023
It is our time! 2023 has begun with a rush of forward energy and many sensitive visionaries I know are on the move. Dreams are quickly manifesting, bringing more light to our beautiful world. Those of us drawn to plants and plant music tend to hold inner-strength – we’ve persisted in our beliefs, visions and missions. We’ve known it’s important. However, we are also quite sensitive. For a moment let’s look back. Like me, over many years, has life often felt hostile to you? More meanness or violence than you’d like? Too much pain inflicted on too many? If you’re wounded or defeated, this is normal, but there is good news and I’m going to share it with you. We are entering into a unique time in history. How is this time different? Thousands of people all around the world are accelerating the pace of their missions. And not only the people. The energies, the plants, the spirits. We are all entering into a uniquely exhilarating time to be alive. It may not feel that way, since there are so many critical problems in this world. However, things are changing. I witness so many people co-creating new ways to live and thrive, keen CommUnity participation and Knowing We Are All One. It’s so delicious. And although you may feel separate from this movement, the truth is that we are united by our key values. You are not alone. There are communities around the world that are available to support you. But if you don’t have immediate access to a community of humans, the community of plants exists world-wide, right in your backyard, your local park and even your house plants! Plants bring their own special flavour of patient, compassionate support to help us strong, creative souls. To my utter amazement the plant music I’ve heard has been endlessly loving. Despite our culture’s disconnection and slashing and burning of the natural environment, the plants give us specific healing if we request it. They show love to us, their long lost brothers and sisters. My intuitive guess, mixed with some quantum understandings, is that the plants live in a higher dimension, perhaps the fifth. Their actions are on their own level and they don’t usually allow themselves to come lower than love. It’s wonderful for us that plants are master healers. Plant music is a way for us to easily tune into the rebalancing bio-resonances, almost anywhere or any time. And there are even really tiny, light weight plants! My friend and I listened to her small air plant Eric that she brought on holiday with her, carried in a glass bubble. It’s the first time I’ve heard one. His music delighted us and sent her off to sleep happily at night. Plant music has many documented health benefits as it supports our nervous and immune systems, so you don’t have to trust me on this.

4 Reasons to Get to Know Morning Glories as Your Helpers

By Admin • March 27, 2023
Do you know that indigenous people used to sit amongst a plant to receive its healing energies and specific qualities? Or drink the dew from their flowers or leaves? And now we make and bottle flower essences because water is shown to hold the shape of the frequencies – see video explaining work of Masaru Emoto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qQUFvufXp4 The healing vibrations of plants are available to us in many ways – through our eyes, hearing them as sound through plant music, touching, sensing, smelling and when its safe they can be tasted. This morning I was walking with a friend in one of our favourite spots, a gully that looks like we're well away from the suburbs. We hike up the steps beside the creek and feel enlivened. Right from the beginning the mauve/blue morning glories were wide open, a colourful and cheery carpet up a steep slope. As we walked they trailed over trees, railings and the gully until we reached a place where evidently the local Friends group had cleared them away. I know this is understandably a pest weed plant as it covers everything. As we paused to survey that beauty in front of us and listen to the birds, I wondered what the benefits of the morning glory flower essence might be, having learned that all the plants that grow around us are helpful for us in various ways, even and perhaps especially the weeds, as they are the bossy intruders. I recalled unexpected physical benefit of blue-green algae many years ago when it first seemed to be a massive problem. Severe water pollution in lakes and rivers fed the algae so it grew in overwhelming numbers. After a while it turned out the algae wasn’t a problem, it was the clean-up team to restore health to the waterways. I tuned in and wondered at the beautiful backdrop these vigorous Morning Glories would make for a celebratory photo shoot. Why would there be so many here? “Because it’s a weed that’s why” is what most people would respond, but from much experience I know there’s more. I was chatting with my friend, so didn’t connect too deeply with the plants right then, but still It felt to me that perhaps it was for depression or similar thoughts, bringing joy and life to us, inviting us to wake up and feel. Back home I soon googled “benefits of morning glory flower essences”. Here are the 4 headings that popped up and caught my eye. “Awakens the spirit bringing vitality, fresh energy and radiance.” Also “Relieves exhaustion, assists in intuition and shining your light.” From www.sacredflower.com.au “Releasing addictive patterns. Helps shift patterns that may have been part of your upbringing, or your family history, and are controlling your life and seem impossible to shift. It helps unravel unwanted behaviours and let go of past situations.” www.saskiasfloweressences.com www.fesflowers.com “Re-setting the body clock to the refreshing, health-giving forces of the morning.” And as if that isn’t enough, here’s a final gem, “❀ Morning Glory helps us accept and find the light and absorb it into the body and soul. With this said, it combats chaos, darkness, and refreshes the body and soul from habits and activities (drinking, late-night eating, lack of sleep, etc.) that do not give health to it.” www.livingtheenchantedlife.com My initial feelings or intuition about the morning glory plants were pretty close to the mark, and there was more to discover. It will make my future visits with the morning glory more meaningful as I breathe deeply and tune into their gifts.  I invite you to consider or to research the plants that are around you, and how they may be there to help you.

Are Plant Wisdom and Music part of our genetic lines?

By admin • February 15, 2023
I was sobbing deeply and quietly as I sat in meditation with 100 other women under a tent roof, in the welcoming Australian bush. My heart was crying out, grieving for the beauty of long ago memories of an experience. It seemed hundreds of years ago, deep in a European forest. We women were in a ceremony with ancient trees, connecting our energies and receiving their plant wisdom. One ritual was running along a stretch of trees and lovingly touching the majestic trunks while singing to them. Since that time about 8 years ago I have felt strong urges to spend more time with big trees. Does that come from a long genetic line which has lived as family with the plant kingdom? Recalling that meditation, I realise that my strong connection to plant music was inevitable. The day, four years ago, that I first heard about Music of the Plants, at the Elements of Happiness in Seaford, was the same day that I first heard plant music. The two Damanhur teachers connected my mint plant to their instrument and my heart opened deeply as I experienced the mint’s music. Months followed where hour after hour I felt my body was being fed and healed by the plants’ music – I had many plants that would play for hours. We learned a lot that first day, and later went to a grove of trees and learned more about having a conversation with a tree. It’s a similar process to what I’d learned decades before when working with making and using flower essences. After meditation each person would allow themselves to be drawn to a plant, and to feel the beneficial effects it would cause as an essence – or indeed simply from being with it. It seemed amazing the transfer of knowledge or understanding. It is my pleasure and honour to share what I have learned with others. There is so much to receive from trees and plants. Here is a brief list of what we cover in our workshops as experientially as possible, so that you know it for yourself: How plant music is created Examples of plant music situations that help us see plant wisdom and consciousness even though they have a different structure to animals. Plant Music is very healing and can be specific to each person, matched to their physical, mental, spiritual and emotional needs. The plant kingdom wishes to return to the ways/times when people and plants had strong bonds and interplay. They miss us and are calling us back. Trees are antennas which connect with other trees around the world. They attract and ground light frequencies into mother earth. Communication and conversations with plants and their age old wisdom is assisted by slowing down to a plant speed, using intuition and all of the bodily senses. These are skills that we are all developing at this time to connect with plants, animals and people using extra sensory perception or telepathy.
