Lovely. Thank you.

Tell me more about fern medicine......

I can feel the fiddleheads all over the land starting to stretch out again, in a dance of connection.

Hi Jane, thanks for your excellent question. It sounds like the ferns are calling out to you. Let me know if you receive a message! Pua'aahuehu, fern medicine, is a body of knowledge from the ancient Mū culture regarding emotional intelligence as a path to data collapse.

Pua'auheuhu regards the experience of aloha (love) as the pinnacle of human existence. Aloha is the experience of all the emotions combined and is an experience we might know as enlightenment. The codes for 103 human emotions, qualities and traits have been preserved by the ferns for millennia and has been kept hidden by the descendants of the Mū Hawaiians still living to this day in the Hawaiian islands. In 2013, the kapu against revealing this teachings was lifted and my mentor Ke'oni Hanalei began sharing them. I recommend going directly to his site: www.pohala.net to learn more about fern medicine and the Mū, and if you are an Instagram user following him at @pohala_hawaiian-botanicals. He shares teachings from the ferns in a daily ferncast.

In the heartland of southern Ontario, in the riotous display which is now my mother's yard, the ferns have unfurled and risen high, in just days. I can feel the Oxygen energy pouring out as the Carbon gets breathed into the leaves. "We are fountains of dancing oxygen", I can hear them reclassifying themselves. "This is one of our gifts to you on this hot and humid day." Ferns the world over.....

Thank you for the reference to pohala.
