TABACO - Power Plants of America

POWER PLANTS OF AMERICA

Good day to all and welcome to the series of Power Plants of America, I wanted to start this work of writing and sharing my mission in the world of natural healing, honoring and sharing information about Plants of Power, because it is in the spirit of this kingdom of nature where we find as humans a great part of our healing and harmony, and in a practical way we all have access to these plants for our day-to-day ceremony.

In our deep interconnection with Mother Earth, it is simple to feel the power that comes from the source of all that is alive, this same power that moves the waters, the earth, creates and changes in natural disasters and sustains all life since immemorial times. It is my personal feeling that Mother Nature does not need our help to heal, but we do need her and from this vision of life I write these series of Power Plants, giving all the power to Nature and recognizing that in this reconnection we return to our own power.

Power Plants of America

The exhibition presented here has two main approaches because although all the plants in my vision have power, in the ancestral traditions of America where my knowledge of curanderismo has come, there are some plants that are recognized by most of the indigenous nations; This is derived from its power to connect us with the spiritual world, to open portals, to center, clean energies, to heal .. Another approach and I think that the most profound is the work of these plants in ancestral ceremonies and rituals, where since ancient times the power of these plants was invoked to ask for help in ceremonies, to connect with the spiritual world and to remember our own nature and thus to heal.

then in this order of ideas we started our series of power plants of America with the Sacred Tobacco Plant!
