How a Plant Can Save Your Life

I just finished Anastasia: Book One of the Ringing Cedars Series. For those unfamiliar with these books, they are written by the Russian author Vladimir Megre and can only be described as a combination of spiritual, environmental and social commentary. A young woman living in the Siberian taiga has imparted Megre with wisdom about how to solve the world's problems. Her solution is simple: bring Man back to Nature. Here is a brief description of the method of planting seeds that Anastasia shares with us. This unorthodox procedure is meant to imbue the seeds with information about the needs of our bodies. Armed with this information, the plant may then bear fruit that gives us the exact nourishment we need to bring our bodies back to balance where there is disease.

1. Put the seed into your mouth and under the tongue for at least 9 minutes.
2. Hold the seed between the palms of your hands for 30 seconds while standing barefoot in the exact location of the garden in which you will plant it
3. Blow on the seed very lightly to warm it with your breath.
4. Hold the seed up to the sky to present it to the stars and planets.
5. Plant the seed but do not water it for 3 days so it can absorb the information from your body as well as the celestial bodies

There you have it! Anastasia also goes on to say that when the seedlings appear and weeds along with it, one should not pull all the weeds but leave one of each kind in place, as each has its purpose to help the seedling grow. This may seem like a strange and whimsical method of planting, but when you think of energy studies done in recent years, it does not seem so far-fetched. These studies have demonstrated the effect of human energy, in the form of interaction and cohabitation, on plants. They truly respond to us! I have not personally tried this method as I am waiting for warmer months to begin my garden (in my apartment balcony, no less - stay tuned for those antics) but many people around the world have. They report a richer taste in these vegetables, and an increase in mental clarity and physical well-being after having consumed them. Anastasia maintains that when we give our natural environment access to this information about our bodies, we surround ourselves with its healing power. All human disease may be cured from this interaction between Man and Nature; furthermore, this connection will cause Man to stop killing the Earth and everything in it.

Whether you believe Anastasia's wisdom or not, it is nevertheless a great benefit to yourself and to the environment when you grow your own food. Home-grown food is devoid of poisons and pesticides. It is fresher than anything you could possibly buy at a store or even a farmer's market, because it goes straight from the plant to your mouth. It minimizes pollution caused by automobile transportation; both that of the truck that shipped the food to the store, and that of your own car during your trip to the grocery store. When your food supply grows so close by, you can imagine the amount of money you will save on gas. And beyond the cost of the initial planting and growing, your food is absolutely free! Now how's THAT for recession-proof? Happy planting and healing!
