A MicroGreens Shaman's Question

I was thinking today about what a MicroGreens Shaman really is.  Is it merely someone who knows everything these might be to know about growing and marketing microgreens?  Some might ask is it really more than that?  Maybe it's being in pursuit the spirit of the plants and what they have to tell us about matters of interest to humanity ... to sustainability.  Maybe it's about how microgreens relate to the health of body and of our spirit when we grow them and eat them.  Maybe about our intentions and how they influence plants.

Searching I pulled from the shelves Stephen Harrod Buhner's book Sacred Plant Medicine - The Wisdom of Native American Herbalism  After all MicroGreens are herbs right?  If you have read any of  Stephen's multiple works, you will know he is a truly gifted healer and a shaman in the truest sense of the word.

Not surprisingly, he quotes another favorite author and healer of mine:  Joan Halifax.  she writes:

"Shaman song, therefore, represents a profound relationship between spirit and matter.  The spirit of breath, emerging from within the human organism in the form of a song, can be likened to the illumined soul shining through human eyes."

More will be coming on the subject of MicroGreens and their spirit, their healing properties, how to use them in food, teas, and herbal preparations and much more.  Please check back.  Watch this video playlist and learn like I did.  Namaste
