About Melody Harris-

My strong connection to the land started very early in life. As a small child I learned about the miracle of life through working in my parents’ gardens. From preparing the sun-warmed soil in the spring to returning layers of compost to strengthen and fortify the land for future crops, I became intimately engaged in the beauty of the seasons of life as expressed in the world of plants.

 

Throughout the years, my love for plants and the land has drawn my interest to many related fields such as; nutrition, essential oils, herbalism, flower essences, homeopathic remedies and more recently, landscaping and Plant Spirit Medicine. Throughout my two-year course in Plant Spirit Medicine I came to appreciate the wisdom of the plants and the earth through a basic understanding of Five Element medicine, an aspect of Chinese Medicine. Through the wisdom of Five Element medicine I learned about the seasons and cycles of the Earth and how we can gain insight into our own personal season and cycles in life. Most importantly I discovered a deeper level of connecting with plants and with the land that sustains them.

 

During my two year course in Plant Spirit Medicine my work with Five Element Medicine became the catalyst for my upcoming book Soul of the Seasons, where I explore how the seasons of the earth connect every living thing on our planet. I’m so excited about the powerful material in this book, it’s not even finished and it’s already transforming people’s lives! We are all influenced and affected by the flow and transition of the earth through it's cycles . It's the essence of community; that which affects one, affects all. In the book, you’ll learn about the seasons from the ancient Chinese medicine template of the Five Elements and how the seasons of Spring, Summer, Harvest, Fall and Winter create balance and harmony for every living thing on the planet. 

 

  As a Plant Spirit Medicine Lay Spiritual Healer, I'm recognized by the Temple of Sacred Fire Healing and am also is a member of the Plant Spirit Medicine Association. Plant Spirit Medicine (PSM), as taught by Eliot Cowan, draws from the ancient discipline of Traditional Chinese Five Element Medicine and is a form of spiritual healing that calls upon the spirits of plants to restore balance to spirit, mind and body. PSM recognizes that all living beings have a spirit and that by treating the spirit of a person, balance can be restored. PSM neither calls for nor suggests any medical diagnoses, prescription nor treatments but is a hands-on healing approach during which the gifts of the Plant Spirits are transmitted energetically to the client through the hands of the practitioner during prayer.
