And yes, this was just from holding the herbs! As I'm going back through the info from lab, Paul Kalnin's class last year, a six month workshop I took with Matthew Wood, and a plant meditation group I've been involved in for over a year - I now see the commone thread. As scholars we must study our traditions to become proficient (and not to kill people!) , as practioners we must go deeper (meditiations, ect) to get into relationship with our medicine. Thanks for making Herbs Lab fun. This was a fun exercise and even though we are just 2nd year students I think we get excited “knowing” what we don’t know.

Does other factors help like the smell or odor of the herb being held? So, you get all of these information just from touching or holding the herbs?

So few of us can sit still long enough to really 'feel' what we are touching and seeing. I heard somewhere that it takes a tree 24 hours to take one breath; not sure if this is true, however, it gives an example of the intrinsic intricacies in nature. Thanks for your insightful perspective. I'm of the belief that people do need to slow down. However, our society in general does not encourage are allow the majority of us to do so. Greed keeps most of us running as fast as we can just to get by! This is such wonderful information. So few of us can sit still long enough to really ‘feel’ what we are touching and seeing.
