Isolation amplifies suffering. When we feel separate, other, and disconnected, we lose our ability to heal, grow, and thrive. Amaranth guides us to plug back into the cosmic matrix, which is exponentially bigger than the sum of its parts. While we might still be dealing with our own particular suffering, amaranth helps us acknowledge our pain as a point of connection to others feeling the same, making our hearts grow real big.
So what is a Spirit Medicine? Like a flower essence, a Spirit Medicine is a plant's personality, the energy that is part of a plant's nature. We get clues about a plant's Spirit from the way they grow, as well as from their medicinal properties—similar to the way you can sometimes tell a lot about someone by what career path they choose. Yet sometimes, there are those librarians by day and dominatrix by night Plant Spirits.
