Sound, Plants
Meditation
SPM is a unique project born from a deep connection to the natural world, co-created by musician Juan Dell'Erba and myself, Beatriz Santiago, Chi Kung instructor. Using a special device developed by Music of the Plants, we are able to extract music from plants by capturing the natural vibrations they emit and transforming them into melodies. This groundbreaking technique allows us to communicate with plants in a profound and innovative way.
The SPM sessions are a fusion of music created by plants and humans, along with Chi Kung practices that guide participants into deep meditative states. This combination promotes a powerful connection with nature. The music generated by the plants is accompanied by Chi Kung movements, creating a transformative experience that immerses participants in the natural rhythms and energy of the Earth.
The main goal of SPM is to invite participants to reconnect with the natural world and expand their perception of life beyond the human experience. We aim to break free from the illusion of separation that often causes disconnection from the environment and all forms of life. Through this project, we invite you to understand and feel the unity of all creation.
In our sessions the Chi Kung practices and the music created by plants help participants learn to harness their vital energy, and invites them to reconnect with their source. By exploring new ways to understand that we are part of the natural world, we believe this project can have a profound impact on the crises we face today. Recognizing that the Earth is alive, and that we are an integral part of it, can lead us to a new level of consciousness where all living beings play an essential role.
Connecting with plants leads us into a state of natural meditation. Plants bring us peace, serenity, relax us, and calm our minds. Nowadays, most humans are born, grow, and live in urban environments, surrounded by concrete blocks. This is not natural, and it disconnects us from our true, primal needs.
BENEFITS:
Establishing a connection with the natural world through plants can bring many benefits, such as improving: concentration, creativity, observation, self-esteem. This practice offers incredible benefits for the nervous system, helping participants forge a deeper connection with nature, which ultimately leads to a deeper connection with themselves. We are one with the natural world. It allows individuals to transcend words and experience new, transformative ways of perceiving and feeling, tapping into a deeper sense of unity and understanding.
CONNECTING WITH PLANTS AND OUR INTUITION:
In the SPM practice, we use sensory meditations to also work on our intuition. Intuition is an incredibly powerful tool that can help us in all aspects of our lives. We connect with our inherent knowledge of medicinal plants through observation, intuition, and interpretation, while we observe, taste, and touch. Tools like meditation, creative writing, and music help us decipher the language of plants. When working intuitively with a plant, we connect with the memories that arise during the process. Emotions, words, and images may come to us as we work with the plant.
SPM sessions are group-based, typically lasting between 1.5 to 2 hours. Each session is designed around specific plants, working with their unique energy and the messages they convey. We focus on familiar plants from our surroundings, reinforcing the idea that this work can be done with any plant. By interacting with their language through music and sensory meditative practices, we demonstrate that profound connections can be made not only with exotic or psychedelic plants, but even with those we encounter in our daily lives, such as culinary herbs.
