About this listen
All ancient and indigenous peoples insisted their knowledge of plant medicines came from the plants themselves and not through trial-and-error experimentation. Less well known is that many Western peoples made this same assertion. There are, in fact, two modes of cognition available to all human beings - the brain-based linear and the heart-based holistic. The heart-centered mode of perception can be exceptionally accurate and detailed in its information gathering capacities if, as indigenous and ancient peoples asserted, the heart's ability as an organ of perception is developed.
Author Stephen Harrod Buhner explores this second mode of perception in great detail through the work of numerous remarkable people, from Luther Burbank, who cultivated the majority of food plants we now take for granted, to the great German poet and scientist Goethe and his studies of the metamorphosis of plants. Buhner explores the commonalities among these individuals in their approach to learning from the plant world and outlines the specific steps involved. Listeners will gain the tools necessary to gather information directly from the heart of Nature, to directly learn the medicinal uses of plants, to engage in diagnosis of disease, and to understand the soul-making process that such deep connection with the world engenders.

Quite possibly the best book I ever 'ingested'
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Secret Teachings of Plants?
Section Two: The Heart; amazing lesser-known facts about the heart including its measurable magnetic field and how the heart acts as a sensory organ. Also how to develop our hearts so we can communicate with plants to gain wisdom about our own, or other peoples, bodies in the pursuit of harmony.
Any additional comments?
Can't wait for more Buhner books to come out in audio format!!!

Redescovering life
Brilliant! Best book ever 🙇
I understood it right away, or better to say i felt the words like I already knew them. The one of those books you listen few times in a row, and wish you had more time.

The hours have flown by listening to this.
A really engaging listen for anyone who whats to deepen there understanding of working with plants and the like and their energetic offerings. Lots of tips on how to open oneself up to communicating.
The hours flew by listening to this and I wouldn’t mind listening to it again as I really enjoyed the language.

Absolutely horrible narration
I can’t even think what else to say. The narration is so off-putting as to make the content very hard to engage with.

do not waste your money, credit or time
this is a terrible audio; it's alot of words with no substance, describing nothing. i managed to get to chapter 5 thinking this has got to improve, I can assure you it does not, its completely random.

Couldn't follow the narration
There's zero context to the structure of the audiobook. The preface advice is to dip into different chapters at will, but I couldn't make sense of what was being shared or the point being made.
There are a lot of quotes from various people that I have no clue who they are or why they are quoted and these quotations don't allow any flow of the book.
I got so lost I gave in.
