Hey ho creative folk…(which is everyone, in some form) let’s just have a light hearted, non-judgey share of plant impressions with mark making, color movements or some out of doors site specific arrangement.
And if you feel bewildered or overwhelmed but you are curious… maybe we have a prompt or two available? Let me know.
IT is one thing to be cerebral with our relationship with the plants. And of course we are invested with hours of learning with our minds or we couldn’t be in these programs. BUT when we allow a creative response to be expressed regarding our plant relationship, another voice lifts. Maybe more of the heart. Maybe more instinctual from the solar plexus. Maybe simply being of no mind and allowing a listening with some mark making, some color gestures and so on…. With more listening.
If you want a little support in this… just let me know. Let me know here or send me a personal message in the TeaHouse.

Feeling the vibe of Self-Heal… She showed up in my open studio time…
I love the way she sits near people movements so often. I go to an open field park. And there along the path is Self-Heal. So so friendly

Lovely to hear from you Cynthia, well said. Yes, full yes.

And Chad, hey hey… hi, should you have a food or several foods that you want to know the oxalate load they have… just let me know. And I will look it up.
Again keeping your oxalate adjustments to small measures of change is important. And just limiting your chocolate will create a significant fluctuation.
But like with berries… blackberries are high. Blueberries are the lowest. Raspberries are medium high. Strawberries are half to raspberries. In these it is the seeds which hold a host of oxalates on the edges of each seed. They are the defense/protective expression of the plant.
Anyways…. I just wanted to offer looking up something for you if it helps.
OR for anyone else…

OOOoooh Chad, what a plant and I love your description of the plant AND of your relationship. I am all ears if anything else lifts about the plant and you. I want to respect and know the plant better, and often find I can journey with the plant from what another will share.
What planet(s) do you find it speaks of? I find plants teach me as much about planets as any text. Like consider the Dandelion and Jupiter. Just watching the growth of dandelion, and then watching the bloom. She forms that perfect ball of seeds to blow out and about. Soooo Jupiter. And those tap roots. Soooo yin, rooting the growth and maturation of the plant for years. And so as I see Jupiter in my chart I ask: What is expanding? What season are we in? Seasonal blooming? And blooming and blooming. And is there a reseeding off of the blooms? Is there new thoughts lifting? Where is my Jupiter balance yang & yin, of up up and away, along with deep deep rooting. And so on. So what questions would I want to listen for with Cocoa? Anyways I love the richness of what you shared and the creative blends which lifted.
And can you separate the cocoa butter out? There is so much I do not know. Cocoa butter is my FAVorite.
In regards to oxalates I would also make sure you have B1 & B6, along with Biotin as supplements. These are crucial for the body addressing oxalates. Be careful to not have too much Vitamin C. I am away from my books, out of town, but that lifted as I read your thoughtful reply.
Cheers to our happy smooth filtering kidneys!

I also feel gaining insights on Mars and Aries in their yin balance is on my plate. I really appreciate what you offered. I will be rereading that a few times to take it in more fully.
Cultivating, flowering, exercising yin (which sounds like double talk, my exercising yin is very passive and in rooting) — really diving into yin has been called up with my attention to my kidneys. Where our body’s are rooted.

Here here sister-mother. What worthy challenges… as mother. I am ever grateful for the privilege of being mom. I started life mothering my sister, which she did thank me for ONCE in her adult life. Mostly a generous mocking a child would appropriately do. But I feel I have had many expressions of mom come through me in this life. And I am grateful. Recently I found my daughter, a mother of a ten-ager and a teenager herself mothering me in her “free range style” telling me to dust it off (I had softly carefully fallen with my bike) and get on with it! She was right. I was fine. It was a great role reversal. We laughed and welcomed the changes. So I took the mom rod going down my spine out. Various elders of our lineage have recently past. And so we liberated me to elder. And this is a surprisingly fresh journey as well.
I would love to hear about your boys. And you as mom. Such worthy worthy worthy expressions. And we all mom uniquely. That too is crucial, know thyself, love they self and in that parent.

Oh wow home grown chocolate… that sounds sooo good. I appreciate hearing from you. And I so empathize. There is lots for all of us to learn here.
My mind has a hard time accepting the oxalate picture. But my body has responded so clearly.
I am sitting in my regular foot soak. I find Dead Sea minerals, baking soda and a pinch of borax is a big help. I could not figure out these rashes I had on my wrists and ankles. My skin is a talker, so I am good at ready the type of skin condition. I pulled out Marie Flints book to figure. It was my kidneys. They were so overloaded they were using my skin as a second kidney. My skin break out was severe and bizarre. Tending to oxalates is the ONLY thing that has begun to clear it up – s l o w l y. Margi’s book is so accurate.
May your work learning pitch be doable. And I really appreciate your presence.

THAT! His sunflower is amazing. OOooh what delights you must have with him. Coolio. So fun to hear. My son is a Taurus moon (9house), Leo rising and Aries sun. He is salt of the earth, and throughout life, those around him enjoy his humorous and compassionate feet on the ground expressions of love. He owns and runs a feed store. Helping folk with animal husbandry/plants/home fixings. Just up his alley. With a keen business acumen. It is remarkable to be a mom, yes? And keep sharing I will enjoy it all.
It is curious that the sharp seed head comes in the later stages of echinacea. Is it like the sharp edges of our aged? ; )
As Saturn moves into Aries, I keep considering the over stated notion of Aries/Mars?Warrior? (That is my pov, point of view.) Might we have our sharp protections/protectors come with one’s full ripening. As it does with echinacea. And in that, rarely would warrior’ness be called up. Protection would abound. The fluidity of boundaries seen, with yet a maintaining of one’s life force.
I sense if we applied sharp protection as in the ripening of echinacea our understanding of Mars / Aries we would enfold elderly wisdom and be referenced accordingly.
How would that look? What would protection be?
-
Right on. Thank you Douglas. I have already passed on the book link. I look forward to this addition.
-
A plant of protection… I felt the same. I placed myself dealing with the death of elders in my family under the echinacea cap. I found it curious that she lifts her petals first to plunge them downward as she ripens in her bloom. Dropping down has a very yin quality. As I consider what your son offered, and the full downward drop of the petals… I would surmise echinacea is a female warrior. What do you feel?
-
Douglas, what a rich reference. I was delighted to read last, knowing the link sat below my eyes gaze that the book is offered online… yes I will be jumping on that. Right on. Thank you.

Oh such generous offering Katerina… yes yes full yes!

Ah so lovely to have a sister, being so close in age, in this life of health wellness and discoveries. Here Here to moving from where we are. How ever that looks. Lovely that we have found the sources of Evolutionary Herbalism as such aids… even in our later years of living.
I did feel I went in strong on my reply. I am a little taken back that few are oxalate aware. I feel a steady headwind with the subject. Thank you for your grace on your response.
Tending to my oxalates has aided me steadily. And I was looking to swap out information and understand how to fine tune it even more, with wise medicine making. All in good time….
How do you approach a swarm of new information? What are your discoveries on how to approach and engage?
I enjoyed your voice. Thank you.

I appreciate what you are offering. Thank you.
The question which lifts for me is the volume that can be handled by healthy bacteria. When a daily normal is up to 160-220mg and my midday snack might be chocolate bites (95-120mg), with yet some almond milk (66 mg -160mg -homemade is higher) in my cup of black tea (25-30 mg). I have blown out my daily total in one sitting.
If I have whole grain bread and a mixed green salad with spinach I am in extreme overload.
I really appreciate your engagement. I find plants are such great teachers. How do I take them medicinally and not overdo my oxalate load?
