Answers all around us

As you become more aware of your inner guidance, you will become more attuned to gifts from the earth – and vice versa.

There are signs all around us, and some of the healing signs come from herbs and foods Mother Nature gives us.

It’s called the Doctrine of Signatures. It’s the premise that the characteristics of earth’s natural bounty such as shape, color, and scent give us clues as to how we can use them for healing.

For instance, a sliced carrot looks like an eye. Carrots are known for improving vision.

Is your brain a little foggy? You want to improve your memory or focus? Try eating more walnuts.

Concerned about cervical health or balancing your hormones? You ever noticed how avocados look like the womb?

Colors are signs, too. Plants with a reddish hue often help heal blood issues. For example, red clover is used as a blood purifier.

Think about how many gifts we’re offered, and we’re too oblivious to receive them. The teachings of the natural world from parent to child or from community elders are lost in this time.

We can reclaim this practice. And it all flows from intuition. You really do know what’s right for you, underneath it all.

And the more harmonious you can be with the earth and yourself, the more your inner voice will be super clear and sharp.

Now, all you have to do is follow that voice. That can be the hardest part.
