Alexander & Murgatroyd

I was once told in a psychic reading a hundred years ago that if I tuned into flowers, and breathed in their fragrance, I could understand them and speak to them.

OK, so it was 1983 … Elwood Babbitt was channeling, and at the time, I didn’t really understand what he meant. I’ve always loved flowers and plants, always had houseplants, and in the last dozen years have come to an awareness of that which he speaks.

I remember the first time that I was walking in the woods and found this beautiful, big tree. I stopped and hugged it, and channeled some Love energy into it, for at least a minute or so, sharing my gratitude with it. Then, I stopped channeling, but stayed there, and was blown away when the tree energetically, hugged me back. It just sent this wave of energy to me, and I knew it was both saying Thank you, and sharing itself with me, on the energy level.

So I’ve been communicating with my houseplants in that way for years now. I have a lot of them—in the picture of my dining room I posted in my “summer” blog, that is one of my two Tart Dates taking up all that space in the window—meet Natasha. And here are Murgatroyd and Alexander. I did not name them. I did a meditation on one on the plants, and it occurred to me to ask its name. It came to me, very clearly. So I went around to all of the bigger plants and did the same thing. Alexander is the big tall one, a fig. Like his pendant? Murgatroyd is the other one—I actually don’t even know what that type is. They both love me so much!

I had read “The Secret Life of Plants” years ago, and recently read “The Secret Life of Your Cells.” Both fascinating, I recommend them. It’s an eye-opener if this is new to you.

Last November, when I got home from having blood transfusions in the hospital (due to severe hemorrhaging), I was in rough shape. I was so weak, lifting my head off the pillow was a formidable task. For someone who is used to running and channeling a lot of energy, it was a huge adjustment. That first day, I lay on the couch, facing Murgatroyd and Alexander at the opposite end. I gazed at them. I was feeling, tuning in, to my physical body, and realized again how there was nothing left. All my life force had drained out of me. I processed this, and the question arose for me, “Where will I get my energy now?” It felt like I had received this blood, which was saving my physical body, but what about the energy to keep it going? And no sooner had I asked that question, but both of these beautiful plants beamed their energy at me. They just bathed me in this tidal wave of love and healing, and I recognized and saw it immediately. It was so profound … I just surrendered to it, received it, smiled and said Thank you. I was graced by their green plant love, and it was so beautiful.

It made me aware, much more deeply, how our environment can support us if given the chance. Earlier today, I was channeling energies through crystals, and I sent it to these two green friends. When I stopped, I sat and watched, and right away they beamed me back, sending a wave of love and connection. We are all one. There’s only One of us here. We—everything—It is all connected. So go ahead, tune in. Smile at your plants. Love them. Can you feel them smiling back at you? ;-)
