Ep.77 When to Grow Towards the Dark

1

00:00:01.910 –> 00:00:10.159

Hello, Hello, everyone! Welcome back to another episode of reconnect with plant wisdom. It’s me Tigrilla Gardenia.

2

00:00:10.690 –> 00:00:12.619

So last week

3

00:00:12.710 –> 00:00:20.789

I traveled to Padova for a conference called plant Facts, a matter of communication.

4

00:00:20.820 –> 00:00:27.709

This is an international conference or kind of scientific meeting that was to look at plants

5

00:00:27.740 –> 00:00:33.060

with the aim of unveiling a more comprehensive, let’s say, comprehensive meaning

6

00:00:33.140 –> 00:00:57.120

of their way of communicating, and padubas only about well, only only about 5 h away, when you count the driving and the train. So when I saw the list of speakers, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. I was so excited to have a conference of this type in my own backyard, I mean literally. It was a 2 day conference, and I went for 2 days. I left at 4 o’clock in the morning

7

00:00:57.160 –> 00:01:24.959

on a Wednesday, and I came back by like 8 Pm. On a Thursday. It was very, very quick, but there was researchers like Frantisek, Balushka and Elizabeth van Volkenburg and James Cahill, who are all people that I have been studying and commenting about for years, so you can’t even imagine my excitement when I saw the entire lineup, the topic, the fact that it was so close and

8

00:01:25.010 –> 00:01:50.119

interestingly enough, it was in the department of Psychology which was probably another piece that was completely intriguing me. I mean, why is a plant conference in the department of psychology? If not because we’re starting to get away from the idea of just the physiological aspects of plants, and we’re starting to finally get to the true heart of who a plant is.

9

00:01:50.380 –> 00:01:57.989

Some of the topics that they covered were, for example, self and society plants communicate to organize and coordinate behavior.

10

00:01:58.160 –> 00:02:09.260

plant communication, diversity of alarm calls, and their effectiveness underground whispers, understanding how and why plants communicate in the rhizosphere. I mean seriously.

11

00:02:09.300 –> 00:02:31.610

these are just the topics that I’m completely enthralled with, and one of the unexpected topics that caught my attention was a topic of Scototropism which is literally growing towards darkness. I mean growing towards darkness. Not. And I’m like looking at my notes because I’m looking at when it came up and I was just sitting there going.

12

00:02:31.610 –> 00:02:55.030

I had to write it in big words Scototropism. I had forgotten about this concept. This is not to be confused with the idea of avoiding light, which is not what we’re going to be talking about tropism just for those of you that don’t know tropism is what kind of the way we describe plant senses. The idea of growing towards or doing or moving towards or away from something. So

13

00:02:55.340 –> 00:03:04.829

phototropism is growing towards light, and Scototropism is growing towards the darkness.

14

00:03:04.900 –> 00:03:29.140

not to be confused with each other, which is avoidance of one or the other. So I’m going to get really into it. Because this is this is super interesting, especially because shadow work is a big part of my study into personalities, limiting beliefs and conditioning which are kind of at the heart of my, you know my coaching work, my mentorship work is really around understanding and finding your authentic self

15

00:03:29.140 –> 00:03:44.359

and therefore understanding your personalities, which, by the way, even the topic of plant personalities came up, which I was shocked about because personalities again, is a psychological concept, a cognitive concept. So the idea of discussing plant personalities

16

00:03:44.360 –> 00:04:04.510

implies that we’re stepping again away from this mechanistic. But again, I’ll put that off to a side. You can see my excitement. My voice is getting faster. I’m trying to slow down because I want to share everything with you, but you better believe that my ears perked up when I heard these scientists talking about when plants deliberately took

17

00:04:04.510 –> 00:04:18.840

choose they choose to grow towards the darkness, and so, looking at it from the perspective of the shadow work it brings me to today’s topic. Today is episode 77, when to grow towards the dark

18

00:04:20.190 –> 00:04:37.410

welcome to reconnect with plant wisdom. I’m your host. Tigrilla, Gardenia, nature inspired mentor and leadership coach. In this podcast I share ancient and modern knowledge from biology to spirituality about the wondrous ways in which plants can help you lead a naturally conscious life.

19

00:04:40.430 –> 00:04:50.569

Okay, notwithstanding that I’ve been working closely with plants for over a decade to share their practical wisdom with you, to consciously embody the the elements of life that nourish your evolution.

20

00:04:50.640 –> 00:05:01.400

Plants never cease to amaze me, and this was a common theme among all the researchers at the conference, even after decades of research, even after

21

00:05:01.570 –> 00:05:13.299

breaking plants down to their most to their cellular level. They are as as excited as kids in a candy store when they discover something new that plants do on purpose.

22

00:05:13.370 –> 00:05:16.739

especially something that they once thought was random.

23

00:05:16.910 –> 00:05:24.940

So there was even this like word fight, tuffle between 2 scientists over whether the mechanistic science.

24

00:05:25.130 –> 00:05:40.920

whether mechanistic science that breaks everything down into its like smallest parts can ever get to a true plant’s intentions. Because the problem there is that when you break things down too far you kind of lose sight of the sum of the parts.

25

00:05:40.920 –> 00:05:56.669

which is really much greater than the individual elements. In other words, you know, we know that plants have this complex way of being the same way as we as humans have this complex way of being. And we are finally, at least we. I already know this, but

26

00:05:56.690 –> 00:06:03.270

I am not beholden to the academic world the way some of these scientists are

27

00:06:03.280 –> 00:06:23.769

where they’re starting to understand and realize that when you take all of the things that plants do at a mechanistic or at a deep biological level. And you start to sum that up, it still doesn’t give us the agency, the intentionality, even the personalities that we’re starting to see. So there has to be more.

28

00:06:24.100 –> 00:06:32.710

And it was interesting to see this scuffle happen between 2 different scientists that were looking at it from different points of view. One that was saying, Hey.

29

00:06:32.710 –> 00:06:54.219

I’m a plant physiologist, and I’m starting to realize that this way of looking at plants is not working. It’s not helping us get to the true essence of who a plant is. And these other, you know, scientists that are saying, no, no, no, we need to keep breaking it down. We need to keep dissecting and chopping up and seeing how the chemicals are flowing through. And that’s the only way we’re going to understand.

30

00:06:54.230 –> 00:07:21.160

So I got into some of this in the discussion in last week’s plant consciousness commentary, which is called plants as electronic plastic interfaces, a methodological approach. I know it’s a pretty scary sounding title, especially if you’ve never watched any of my plant consciousness commentary, which is exactly why I host these commentary sessions. My goal, really there is to break down the science into these kind of bite-sized chunk.

31

00:07:21.220 –> 00:07:25.919

I know it sounds like I just went against my whole mechanistic thing. Let me rephrase it.

32

00:07:26.010 –> 00:07:48.820

It’s the idea of how do we understand where the scientists are going towards? What is it that they’re trying to accomplish and state? And where does the science help us better understand our own personal development? That’s really the essence. It’s really the essence of all of my work. And so here I come to you more from the perspective of the behavior and of the understanding of the human condition.

33

00:07:48.820 –> 00:08:10.619

Where in the plant consciousness commentary, I come at it 1st from the perspective of the plant science. And taking a paper where we’re talking about how plants do something or plant consciousness or plant neurobiology, or the intelligence that plants are expressing, or even the artistic interspecies development that we’re starting to have.

34

00:08:10.840 –> 00:08:23.070

And I bring it to you, and then I apply it to you. Know, how is it that we look at our lives, our own consciousness, our own authentic selves. So this really gives you sort of 2 avenues and 2 windows. Into doing this

35

00:08:23.220 –> 00:08:48.200

in this particular last paper that I went into, I delve into this that this fascinating paper by Mark Williams de Bono and Gustavo Souza. Now Gustavo Souza was at plant facts, and that was the it was funny when I his. When the when his slides were going up and I saw him talking about this paper, it reminded me that it was in the queue. It was like the next one for me to do so. It was like perfect synchronicity.

36

00:08:48.230 –> 00:09:05.839

and Sousa is really proposing that plants drive intelligent behavior through synchronized electrical networks. So the idea that there’s an electrical network, that is what plants are using primarily to be able to

37

00:09:06.300 –> 00:09:30.620

for lack of a better term, express their intelligence or express their intentionality. So they use these electrical systems. We know that we also have electrical systems, but they’re just saying that plants kind of use and have the awareness can be measured through these electrical systems, and that we can understand cognition through these electrical systems. It’s a theory that Gustavo Souza is looking into, and I highly encourage you to go check out this paper.

38

00:09:30.880 –> 00:09:42.279

especially because Sousa’s enthusiasm and his out of the box thinking is really it’s palpable, you can feel it. And so, rather than relying on anthropocentric anthropocentric ideas of cognition.

39

00:09:42.520 –> 00:09:56.820

they are really arguing that plants demonstrate this sort of unique form of perpetual learning and perceptual learning and intelligence that’s rooted in bioelectrical systems

40

00:09:56.830 –> 00:10:06.639

like, I said, this was not taken very well by some of the mechanistic scientists from Italy, who prefer to think of plants as living objects that rely in

41

00:10:06.780 –> 00:10:12.589

on unpredictable sort of ways of being. And though, even though they can’t understand the patterns.

42

00:10:12.820 –> 00:10:15.150

in my opinion, hint hints

43

00:10:15.500 –> 00:10:40.049

because there is no pattern, because again, it’s intention based. But anyways, they think that the reason is because they just haven’t found the pattern yet. So look, I’ll put a link in the show notes, and you know, so that you can go check out my commentary session. It’s really simple. It’s just my website commentary. And there you can check out all the old ones. You can also go over to my Youtube, where you’ll find many of the videos. So

44

00:10:40.520 –> 00:11:04.490

anyways back to Scototropism. Let’s talk about scototropism, because the easiest way for me to explain my thinking, and why I was so excited when they reminded me, and gave me additional information about Scototropism, and it fit perfectly perfectly with the work on again, personalities, limiting beliefs, and conditioning, that I am doing right now is

45

00:11:05.030 –> 00:11:07.500

thinking of jungle vines.

46

00:11:08.060 –> 00:11:23.890

big big big jungle vines. Imagine you know Amazonian rainforest jungle vines like devil’s ivy or monstera gigantea. Yes, we know Monstera at home, but we’re talking about the really big ones that we find out in the jungle. So

47

00:11:23.960 –> 00:11:51.869

Scototropism is a special mechanism that some vines have evolved in order to enable them to find a tree on which to climb on again. These are vines, which means that these vines need to find a sort of host, plant a plant on which they can anchor themselves onto, and then kin can grow from there. So scototropism has developed. It’s an adaptation. Again.

48

00:11:51.870 –> 00:12:13.170

remember, when we talk about plants and we talk about the senses that plants have the senses that plants have have developed over time. Remember that my theory, and is that we also have many of these senses. We have also the ability to create these senses, but because of our conditioning, we have sort of

49

00:12:13.300 –> 00:12:33.660

shut many of them down and shut this ability down right? The idea that every time we start to hear of somebody with extrasensory perception, any kind of perception that is beyond the 5 senses that we know. We tend to start looking at them with words that most of society would think of as negative, like weird or

50

00:12:33.660 –> 00:12:54.559

sick, or something is wrong with you rather than look at them as an adaptation and an expansion. So for me, working closely with the plants has enabled me, as well as my clients, and I see this now all around me, to expand my perceptions, both the perceptions that I currently have my senses, that I currently have.

51

00:12:58.050 –> 00:13:03.989

as well as to more comfortably and easily expand out into other perceptions, that, in my opinion, we have shut down.

52

00:13:04.180 –> 00:13:09.560

So Scototropism is definitely one of these types of senses and perceptions.

53

00:13:09.570 –> 00:13:34.630

because this is something that plants have enabled certain types of plants have enabled as a mechanism to achieve an end that is extremely important for them. So most plants, when we think of them, grow phototropically. So the idea is that plants grow towards light, right heliotropism, or growing specifically towards sunlight

54

00:13:34.630 –> 00:14:00.429

and phototropism, which means I grow towards light waves that are nutritious to me in some way, because they trigger photosynthesis, because they show me where there are open space, because they show me many different aspects. So these are aspects that plants have developed and refined over the years or over the millennia, probably where we, as humans, have kind of really paired this down to its very basics.

55

00:14:01.000 –> 00:14:03.699

But in the case of jungle vines.

56

00:14:03.850 –> 00:14:21.190

they’ve also expanded on and grow towards the darkness. So this is that Scototropism, and they do this because they are looking for a solid support system before their growth. So let me explain it a little better

57

00:14:21.200 –> 00:14:33.230

when a jungle vine is like, not yet attached to any kind of large tree, or any kind of base that will give them the opportunity to grow.

58

00:14:33.330 –> 00:14:53.870

they, rather than going towards the light which implies open space right when I have a large amount of light coming through. Most likely I have large amounts of space, a canopy that’s not very thick, which would imply I don’t get the things that I need to create a solid foundation, because these plants

59

00:14:53.870 –> 00:15:09.219

need a nice, big, solid base that can hold the weight as they begin to grow. So these plants, instead, choose to follow darkness until they have found a solid support system.

60

00:15:09.360 –> 00:15:34.529

Once they find that safety, and once they have a solid base of a large tree that they feel can hold their weight, their growth, where they’re going to be going. Then they can change from scototropism to phototropism and start growing towards the light. And this is what’s going to give them the nutrients that they need in order to grow in size.

61

00:15:35.340 –> 00:15:56.029

Think about this really carefully, which is, plants, are moving towards and and flipping between Scototropism and phototropism as necessary between growing towards the darkness in order to build a foundation in order to find

62

00:15:56.030 –> 00:16:25.120

my solid ground in order to hook into the elements that will allow me to be safe, and then from there the plants are growing up towards phototropism, to where there is more space to express, where I can become big in my own self, where I can feel like I can get the nourishment. I need to create those giant leaves. If you think about a Monstera gigantea right? We’re talking about gigantic leaves.

63

00:16:25.140 –> 00:16:47.769

So take a second right now, and think about your own darkness. Or better, said your shadow self, as most often it’s called right. How do you talk about it when you’re talking about the shadow. Do you see yourself ever as growing toward it? Listen to the words. The words are important in this case.

64

00:16:47.880 –> 00:17:04.410

When I think of my shadow. I’m probably not thinking about growing towards it. I think of it more as maybe I have to get into or even connect to my shadow side, but I don’t see it as a point of growth.

65

00:17:04.410 –> 00:17:19.800

So what I really want to talk about today is about when you should grow towards it, when you should think of this as a point of growth, in order very similar to these jungle vines, like Devil’s ivy.

66

00:17:20.119 –> 00:17:22.390

to create a new

67

00:17:22.560 –> 00:17:27.710

platform, a new foundation, a new base of sorts.

68

00:17:28.590 –> 00:17:33.850

Let’s let’s let’s stick with the biology for a second, just to give us a reference point, because

69

00:17:34.340 –> 00:17:48.639

this is one of those concepts that is very shrouded in. How do I say this? It’s very shrouded in conditioning, in fearful words shadow dark.

70

00:17:48.640 –> 00:18:06.640

the blackness, all of these aspects, and this makes it sometimes very hard for us to understand how important it is for us to work with these concepts and into these different aspects of myself. So getting into the biology sometimes

71

00:18:06.790 –> 00:18:33.729

no, not sometimes always, gives us an opportunity to sort of strip away that conditioning, and think of it more from the natural tendencies that these concepts or these abilities afford me. So what are the possibilities within them? And then I can reapply it to my humanness, using a without that filter, without that sort of layer of meaning and conditioning that oftentimes hurts us. So

72

00:18:34.160 –> 00:18:52.629

let’s go back to the biology for a reference point. So before 1975, for example, a wide range of explanations have been offered to explain how it was, and a vine knew when to start climbing. So when would a vine be close to the ground and growing and searching?

73

00:18:52.630 –> 00:19:04.209

And when, instead, that vine could start moving upwards towards the light, and among them the most common answer before 1975,

74

00:19:04.340 –> 00:19:16.560

except for there was one instance of somebody in 1925 that started to talk about the idea of scototropism without the name. But they weren’t. They just didn’t have the

75

00:19:16.710 –> 00:19:31.740

the test data to be able to show this. So 1975, a series of of researchers who are in the jungle start to see a phenomenon and start to study this because they originally thought these were actually animal biologists. They were, I think.

76

00:19:31.760 –> 00:19:36.580

And what’s it called entomologists they were. They were studying insects.

77

00:19:36.900 –> 00:19:56.800

And then they decided they saw this vine that was growing in the darkness. And wasn’t. They knew that plants normally go towards light so they couldn’t understand what was happening. And they decided to study because they thought there was a form of negative phototropism. So the idea of growing away from the light, which was what was happening

78

00:19:56.900 –> 00:20:10.980

so, or that there was maybe some kind of random searching that the plant was doing, or maybe even some negative geotropism. So the idea of growing against the pull of gravity of some sort they were looking at all these different things.

79

00:20:10.990 –> 00:20:36.260

Now notice how the human mind works right. Their 1st inclination was to grow towards something negative I am trying to avoid. Why? Because that’s the human tendency. Right? Plants tend to be present. They tend to be active into whatever situation they have to be in, because they can’t run away. But we, as humans, tend to run away. So it is normal that our 1st

80

00:20:36.450 –> 00:20:51.059

thought process is negative, something tropism in this case, negative phototropism. The idea that the plant is growing away from the sun, maybe for fear of being burned, maybe for some other aspect which does happen, but not in this case

81

00:20:51.180 –> 00:21:04.519

in negative phototropism, a plant would grow at 180 degrees angle away from the light. So if you have a light source that’s coming from one angle 180 degrees in the other direction is where the plants would go.

82

00:21:04.850 –> 00:21:13.329

and this makes sense for plants that, like low light conditions. So they display a form of negative phototropism when exposed to very, very bright light.

83

00:21:13.750 –> 00:21:33.270

But when researchers discovered that certain plants in really dense jungle conditions were doing something different. They decided to study this and start taking some measurements in the field, and they designed some experiments that clearly showed them that the seedlings of these vine plants, such as Moncera Gigantella

84

00:21:33.420 –> 00:21:41.730

was, was really seeking out the darkness, irrespective of where the light might be.

85

00:21:41.770 –> 00:21:50.020

So it didn’t matter if light was really bright in one direction. What they were really looking for was not that 180 degrees in the opposite direction?

86

00:21:50.040 –> 00:22:10.939

They were looking for the darkness, and as the seedlings grew they kept their heads up like having a radar that knew which direction was up, so they should that they really knew that up was this way, and therefore I could search for the dark the darkest elements. Now why were they looking for the dark

87

00:22:11.040 –> 00:22:12.670

darkest elements.

88

00:22:12.890 –> 00:22:13.740

Look.

89

00:22:13.960 –> 00:22:43.260

the journey for a plant, especially a vine. To find a host tree is super treacherous, right? You can be distracted by little twigs that maybe you think is going to be a tree, or maybe there’s other kinds of debris that’s around. And so the only thing you can rely on is the fact that in a dense forest the base base of a tree which is the element that’s going to get the biggest right that’s going to be the strongest buttress for you that’s going to create

90

00:22:43.260 –> 00:22:53.049

the strongest base and foundation for you is going to be in the dark. So they discovered Kin discovered that this is the path

91

00:22:53.090 –> 00:22:59.700

towards the greatest future growth. Go into the darkness. Now

92

00:22:59.810 –> 00:23:14.379

approach things, using other senses and other abilities. Not necessarily your sense of sight, and probably not some of the other senses that require a certain amount of light sensitivity in order for you to connect to that.

93

00:23:14.490 –> 00:23:29.270

and instead grow into the darkness and find yourself what will create you a base foundation. Once you have that foundation set, once you have found your tree, buttress, your tree

94

00:23:29.330 –> 00:23:31.550

poll for lack of a better term.

95

00:23:31.920 –> 00:23:51.430

now start to climb. And so at that point the plants. The monstera in this case completely abandons all of this scototrophic behavior and becomes phototrophic. Now, all of a sudden, this tree or this plant, sorry that was growing towards darkness.

96

00:23:51.430 –> 00:24:13.350

changes direction and starts growing through the light. So putting out these monstrous saucer shaped leaves just to make sure that they can get enough food from the photosynthesis. Even still, while they’re down in the canopy like once they’re down still low. On their way up they start to spread out and create these big leaves and start to capture the light.

97

00:24:13.590 –> 00:24:14.590

So

98

00:24:14.780 –> 00:24:31.710

what does it have to do with you? Right, all of this explanation of the biology? Now, the question is, how do we apply this biology to your personal development. But before we get into this I want to share with you one of our eco-conscious business partners.

99

00:24:33.770 –> 00:24:47.019

00:25:32.500 –> 00:25:40.349

Let’s read, learn, and reconnect with the wisdom of plants together. And hey, you can also join the book club.

105

00:25:40.500 –> 00:25:44.030

It’s on my website, the Plant Wisdom book club.

106

00:25:45.630 –> 00:25:51.710

Okay? So here’s the question, how can all this godotropism be applied to your life?

107

00:25:52.580 –> 00:25:57.550

The truth is, all of our personalities have a shadow equivalent.

108

00:25:58.290 –> 00:26:19.540

and that’s actually not as clear cut as that sentence might sound. I know it sounds as if we’re thinking about, you know personalities as always being light. And then there’s this dark, nefarious shadow side that exists. But honestly, there are no personalities or characteristics that we have that are always in the shadow, or that are always in the light. In other words.

109

00:26:19.620 –> 00:26:45.959

depending on how you are and your experience, you might have thrown a personality into the light, basically giving them more of the stage, showing them more to the public, being a personality that you lean with. And then there is a counterbalance to that personality that you have most likely obstructed, something that you have put into the shadows. So

110

00:26:46.300 –> 00:27:13.470

that and a lot of this also has to do with the way society views those characteristics. There are certain characteristics that have been codified into society in certain way. So they’ve become the norm. And we look at them as if those are the ones in the light, and the atrophied parts are the ones in the shadow, even though those can be actually quite harmful to yourself and to others, and what you have atrophied are actually the parts of your personality

111

00:27:13.470 –> 00:27:35.439

that are really quite healthy for you. And so you’ve just treated them way. So it’s not a given that light and shadow are really considering are the equivalent of good and bad. It’s more of light and shadow is, what do I have out in the light, and what instead, have I atrophied or diminished, or am hiding

112

00:27:35.470 –> 00:27:58.119

into the darkness in the interactive webinar that I have coming up befriend your limiting beliefs so you can do things you once thought impossible. I’m going to share some of my story of how my own characteristics that I once thought were negative or in the shadow, and I now realize that those are actually my true source of light, the source of really my talents, and I’ve kind of

113

00:27:58.270 –> 00:28:05.000

found a new balance and a new flow that happens between them. So check that out again. It’s in the show notes.

114

00:28:05.290 –> 00:28:19.000

but for most of us we often see the shadow as a source of humiliation that we have to try to hide, or oftentimes we think of it as some kind of maybe perfectionism or control or judgment.

115

00:28:19.000 –> 00:28:42.020

These are actually really counterintuitive truths. They don’t work. And it’s what happens when we try to put labels on things that really shouldn’t have those labels. So when we instead reveal the shadow, when we give in to the nonconforming talents that are usually hiding inside of that shadow side of ourselves.

116

00:28:42.130 –> 00:28:50.440

The nature of those personalities or characteristics changes, and they become a source of creativity and confidence.

117

00:28:50.650 –> 00:29:14.629

Look. We have to remember that we live in a world of dualism which means that the true whole of our personalities, if we think about our personalities as more of a circle rather than a line. Right is that you have to integrate the light and the dark, and that there’s shades and gradients, and flowing from one or the other, because each one of them has a benefit.

118

00:29:14.630 –> 00:29:33.239

So when the shadow is an active form of life, you learn how to master those talents along with those that are in the light, and there becomes this flow. It’s almost as if you have to think about a personality at 360 degrees, and most of the time we have put into the light

119

00:29:33.240 –> 00:29:51.250

only one piece of it, and we’ve thrown into the shadow the other side of it. And this brings me to why working with vines such as the monsera can be so powerful, why is it that we could work with these types of plants who have this encoded memory of this Scototropism?

120

00:29:51.250 –> 00:30:09.269

And how do we take that scototropism and actually apply it onto ourselves as necessary and kind of reawaken our own Scototropism, because really, if you think about it, who knows how to successfully grow in the shadow? More than these masters of dark.

121

00:30:09.750 –> 00:30:31.540

Who can teach you how to activate your own Scototropism, and how to use it, to find the support and a new sense of home right to find that foundation or that base. Think about it, monsera, and plants like key 1st conquer their shadow, then they grow towards the light.

122

00:30:31.540 –> 00:30:45.229

In other words, kin know how to do both, and when you work closely with these types of vines, or even with any plant, but you tap into your plant partner’s scototropism. It gives you the opportunity

123

00:30:45.230 –> 00:31:01.720

to 1st find a new foundation, to open yourself up to those parts of yourself, that you might have been hiding those parts of you that maybe have atrophied over time, and to give space for them to be a part of your life.

124

00:31:01.720 –> 00:31:20.769

and then to bring them with you as you grow towards the light, but in also knowing that in times of necessities you can turn around and grow towards the dark. In other words, it gives you much more flexibility and much more access to your overall personalities, and who you are.

125

00:31:21.040 –> 00:31:34.489

Basically, if you think about it, Monsera 1st builds their personal foundation by going into the dark, even though it’s scary, even though they’re not really sure where they’re going to find, even though they’re not really sure where the support is actually located.

126

00:31:34.750 –> 00:31:51.710

but they know that only when this has been found can they start to grow into the light. And this is really what I see with my clients. Oftentimes, when we start working together, what we do is break down. Go into that dark shadow self.

127

00:31:51.710 –> 00:32:05.049

because we’re trying to understand what are the talents that they have atrophied? And you see this a lot with limiting beliefs, limiting belief in some ways is a bodyguard that gets placed between the light and the shadow.

128

00:32:05.280 –> 00:32:17.280

It’s a bodyguard that you pace between certain ones of your talents or your skills, because there’s some reason why you want to hide these into the shadow world.

129

00:32:17.280 –> 00:32:36.340

And then what happens is that you spend all this time in the light. Whether the light is healthy or not is not even the case, because what’s happening is that that limiting belief in the middle has now blocked off your access, and you don’t know how to go toward this. So when you find yourself in these types of situations, what you want to do is call in

130

00:32:36.690 –> 00:32:57.429

your scototropic support, you want to really activate that type of perception, that type of sense inside of you. So that then from there you can work in a much more concerted way with that shadow self. Now you have access to what’s in the darkness

131

00:32:57.430 –> 00:33:16.670

without it being scary. But instead, looking at it from the perspective of I’m looking for a new foundation. I’m trying to understand what is in there in order to make that a new base for myself. What do I need to build up? Who do I need to grab onto? Who do I need to ignore? Who do? I need to break down?

132

00:33:16.670 –> 00:33:38.230

There’s all different aspects of this work and that Scototropism is a fantastic way for you to access parts of yourself that you didn’t even know you had within you, and therefore from there you can then move towards working more clearly or more fluidly with that shadow self.

133

00:33:38.600 –> 00:33:54.850

Think of your shadow self, think of that darkness as a resource rather than something to be avoided, just like monserra, finds stability in the darkness before growing towards the light. You, too, can explore your own darkness. You can think of it

134

00:33:55.810 –> 00:34:02.469

as you know, these are areas that you’ve hidden, that you’ve ignored, that you might have even feared.

135

00:34:02.500 –> 00:34:17.159

And it’s here that, tapping into your plantness, as you know, that operating in the darkness. Remember all plants, all, all plants, live one part of their life in the air, and one part of the life

136

00:34:17.159 –> 00:34:34.840

underground. So one part, even air plants, and such have those small root systems that are not facing towards the light directly. There’s always the possibility for you to be in the light as well as in the darkness. And so you need to understand how that aspect of yourself exists.

137

00:34:34.840 –> 00:34:53.719

And so it’s here that you can discover a foundation strong enough to support your authentic growth, and where you can find those parts of yourself that you’ve been hiding, but that you know you’ve been hiding. You sort of feel like they’re missing in your life. And now you can express them more authentically.

138

00:34:53.770 –> 00:34:56.199

Look, oftentimes society

139

00:34:56.370 –> 00:35:05.819

encourages us to bypass this process teaching us to focus only on the light. Right? I am a light being, and all of this beautiful stuff connecting to the light being.

140

00:35:05.860 –> 00:35:33.650

But we need light and darkness. We’re in duality. And so we need to experience that we need daytime. We need nighttime. We need light sources. We need dark sources. We need to look at the things that we express, and we need to look at the things that we hide. All of them have a place and a function, and once you take away the label of good or bad, and instead, you look at them based on characteristics, abilities, talents, and skills.

141

00:35:34.150 –> 00:36:00.229

then you can really start to understand who you are, your true nature, because the truth is that personal development really embodying your true self, your authentic self, requires embracing the full spectrum, both the light and the dark, and by acknowledging and working with your shadow self, you set the stage for deeper, more meaningful growth.

142

00:36:00.410 –> 00:36:28.170

Imagine what you could accomplish. If you learn to draw strength from the parts of yourself that you’ve kept hidden some of them which should remain hidden. They’re parts of you. They’re elements of you that are in that hiding space, because that’s where they should be, not because you’re ashamed, not because they’re atrophied, not because you don’t know how to work with them, but instead, because they’re a fountain or source that is coming up from the darkness. So understanding the difference between those 2

143

00:36:28.170 –> 00:36:45.550

between? What are things that I’ve put into the darkness, but in reality are things that should be in the light versus what are things that should stay in the darkness because I pull from them, and I source them when they are best in that state.

144

00:36:45.550 –> 00:37:00.949

You see the difference that that’s the big difference of working closely with a plant in order to understand, especially if you have a plant like a monstera where a monstera, you could really find that grounding.

145

00:37:00.950 –> 00:37:29.709

understanding the role of that darkness. And then, once you do that, trust me, you will naturally turn towards the light, ready to thrive. So just as monserra needs to find that solid support in the in the darkness, so do we in our own journey of growth. So do you. It can be super challenging to explore these hidden parts of yourselves those aspects that you’ve been conditioned to ignore or suppress.

146

00:37:29.730 –> 00:37:43.649

But once you learn how to embrace your shadow and navigate it with intention. Oh, my goodness, it becomes one of the greatest tools for transformation. Seriously, it’s like it’s like being.

147

00:37:44.420 –> 00:38:07.449

It’s like having a battery right. This battery that’s sitting deep, deep, dark inside of yourself that you can pull from constantly, because again, you’re not suppressing. But instead, you’re cherishing, you’re honoring, you’re nourishing even in that deep, dark space, because it’s a part of you, and it’s a relationship with you. It’s

148

00:38:07.610 –> 00:38:15.609

it’s so amazing. You really learn how to embrace your shadow, and then you can navigate it with intention. It becomes

149

00:38:15.680 –> 00:38:18.160

really one of your greatest tools.

150

00:38:18.650 –> 00:38:36.900

and this is where, having a guide can make all the difference in the world. You don’t have to navigate this process alone. I know it’s tempting, I know. Sometimes it’s even scary or embarrassing, but as a nature inspired mentor and a certified life coach. Look, I’ve worked with creative, multi-passionate individuals

151

00:38:36.900 –> 00:38:49.129

like you every day who explore their inner darkness to discover this untapped strength and bring those into the light to overtime. Master those talents.

152

00:38:49.130 –> 00:39:10.939

to become someone who can exercise all of their different skills, knowing when to use one, when to, instead, put one down all these different aspects together. We’ll use the lessons of the plants like the monsera to help you embrace your shadow and build a foundation for your authentic self, and to grow towards the life that you were really meant to lead.
