Over the years of working with the nuances of my own intuition and practicing my specific form of plant spirit communication, a name came to me for my body of work. It wanted to be called Feminine Form Herbalism. There are many different core principles that make up this work – one of them being working with *frequency* over force.

This means many things, including that I'm accrediting the direct wisdom experiences I have with plants rather than relying solely on previous research and studies. Not because I don't believe in science... but because our culture prioritizes it over everything. In order to create balance, it's necessary to bring the information received in the subtle realms to the same place of reverence that we do information in a textbook.

I realized quite some time ago that a part of my gift is the ability to steep in the energy of something, someone, or some-being like a tea in order to receive intuitive insights. For many years, this caused me a lot of stress, because, un-harnessed, I was steeping in everything like a tea (which was unhelpful). I was left overwhelmed, confused, and unsure of what was my own energy.

However, once I learned energetic boundaries and how to work with this ability to merge as a tool rather than a default state, it became critical for understanding, emitting, and attuning to frequency with intention.

Maybe frequency communication could be considered the original form of technology (as Rhayni and I spoke about when she had me on her podcast). Fern, one of the oldest plants on Earth, helps us remember.

When we hone in our frequency and find safety in ourselves to emit it freely, we're highly protected, because we (typically) attract and align with beings who are ready to meet us where we are.

I don't say this to mean that we attract the negative experiences that happen to us... but when we're attuned, we have a much easier time finding the heterogeneous networks we're meant to create to thrive.

Ferns are one of the most diverse species on the planet, and by reminding us how connected we actually are, they also teach us how to celebrate our differences from a place of authenticity.

In a time of attempted erasure and ostracism, I can't think of any thing more beneficial than the reminder that we are all made of the same breath.
