as for skin and body care. She's also included a section of
plant profiles so you can learn more about our herbal allies
as you try the recipes. Makes a great gift too!

The Secret Teachings of Plants
by Stephen Buhner
This is a wonderful book that presents inspiration for
using the heart as a tool of perception. In this book Stephen
walks you through ways of learning to communicate with the
plant world by dropping out of your conscious mind and into
the deeper realms of your being. He combines informative writing
with prose and poetry and presents the information using the
systole and diastole aspects of heart function. He paints
a picture of how the physical and energetic movements of heart
can relate to your communication with the world around you.
A wonderful book for anyone interested in learning another
dimension of the plant world!
