Fay Johnstone is a \\u2018plant whisperer\\u2019 and shamanic herbalist. Fay combines 20 years of reiki practice with herbal and shamanic training to connect us with nature for personal transformation. Following an awakening to the spirit of plants while running a flower farm in Nova Scotia, Fay wrote her first book, Plants that Speak Souls that Sing, and now offers training on reiki, plant spirit connection and shamanism online and from her home in Scotland. Fay is also the founder of Plant Spirit Reiki, a therapy which connects Reiki healing to the power of plants, as detailed in her second book, Plant Spirit Reiki. It's Fay's mission to help people find their unique way to connect with the natural world and come into alignment with their true nature.\\xa0 Find her at https://fayjohnstone.com/\\xa0

In our conversation, Fay describes how:

• In her former career she felt stressed and disconnected: \\u201cI was going through life wobbly, not very grounded or rooted in a sense of who I am and my belonging. I found my sense of belonging through this connection with nature.\\u201d \\xa0
• Moving out of the head space and into \\u201cthe heart space which feels its way\\u201d was her major turning point.
• Knowing she is part of the sacred natural web reminds her we are not alone. This is \\u201ca more collaborative way of life. It\\u2019s not just about me and what I thought success meant.\\u201d
• Globally we are trying to work out the question of life pace and inner inspiration vs. conventional decisions. Fay recommends: \\u201cinvite nature into your heart and it will do its own growing\\u2026we all find our own unique way that nature flows through us.\\u201d She suggests starting with local food, intuitive nature walks (she describes how), and sharing breath with plants.
• She developed Plant Spirit Reiki as a collaboration with plants. She talks about the power of bringing plants into our learning, healing or living spaces for \\u201ca healing exchange with the natural world\\u201d
• A practice for connecting with plants even during cold weather when you may be indoors: plant prayers. And how she now experiences winter with welcome, as a time for relaxation and quiet.
