The most common mistake people make is that they don’t see their interaction with nature as a relationship. When reconnecting with the magic of nature, it is essential that it is a two-way street and to see it like a friendship
Consider this: even when there is an instant “clicking” between two people, the friendship itself takes time and energy to develop. You wouldn’t meet someone and immediately start demanding favors of him or her, nor would a good relationship form if all you thought about was what was in it for you.
In this same way, a relationship with nature takes time and energy. It is true that nature is naturally giving. For example, trees and plants are known in the indigenous world as “givers.”
That being said, a tree or a plant is much more likely to gift its medicine if you, or the plant medicine practitioner you’re working with, has a working relationship with it.
Try this approach and see what happens!
