Based on firsthand practical experiences of communicating with natural spirits through meditation, this eye-opening guide to healing the earth teaches how to work with elemental beings by describing each in detail while defining their roles within the web of life. As a result of tuning in to plants, trees and animals and illustrating the disrupted flow of energies within the landscape, the true impact of human culture upon the harmony of the natural world is evocatively revealed. Insight into related topics, such as how the long-suppressed Goddess culture embraces these energies to make strides toward healing the earth, can set anyone with earth and landscape concerns - gardeners, growers, designers and builders - one step closer toward becoming environmental warriors. Although a lot has been written in recent years about nature spirits, NATURE SPIRITS & ELEMENTAL BEINGS is remarkable in that almost everything described in the book is based on the author's own practical experiences in communicating with these beings through meditation and tuning in to plants, trees, animals and the landscape. He describes in detail the various elemental beings and their roles in maintaining the web of life and, also, gives insights into related topics, such as the flow of energies within the landscape and the long-suppressed Goddess culture. His evocative images of the nature spirits draw our attention to the lost harmony of the natural world, which has been disrupted by the impact of human culture. It is a tragic situation but one which can be redeemed if we rediscover our long-lost sensitivity to these realms and, as the author demonstrates, learn to heal the disturbed elemental world
