Spirit of Plants & Animals with Mary Newstrom

Dr. Mary Newstrom, a shamanic teacher, discusses connecting with the spirit of plants and trees on the "Call IT In with Dar" podcast. She emphasizes shamanism's nature-based spirituality, direct revelation, and the importance of free will and sovereignty. Mary guides listeners through a grounding meditation, visualizing a mountain scene and a waterfall to balance their energy. She explains shamanic healing, which addresses spiritual imbalances contributing to physical and emotional illnesses. Mary also introduces the concept of plant medicine, focusing on the spirit of plants rather than ingesting them. She encourages listeners to explore nature and connect with plant spirits for healing and guidance. 

Mary leads listeners through a guided meditation, starting in a blessing field and moving to an enchanted forest. She encourages listeners to connect with the spirit of a lily and a tree, asking for messages and healing properties. The meditation continues with a journey to the lower world, where listeners interact with different plants and trees, and possibly their spirit animals. 

Mary emphasizes the importance of direct revelation and personal experiences in shamanic practices, and the role of spirit guides in communication.
