“Plants bring us the love, the nourishing power of the sun, which is the same energy of all the stars, of all light. These cosmic energies emanated by plants thus nourish, sustain, and make grow our own astral bodies. In this way, the existence of plants is a great offering, a sacrifice. They offer us not only nutritive value but the very light and love from the stars, from the cosmos whose messengers they are. They exist for psychological, as well as physical nourishment. Our feelings, then, are our own inner plants, our own inner flowers. They grow in accordance with our perceptions of the nature of all life”
David Frawley, the Yoga of Herbs
