Land Whisperer A Guide to Partnering Energetically with Any Environment reintroduces readers to the land-human partnership, our oldest partnership on Earth and one many of us have become disconnected from, and clarifies our place within it and responsibility to it. The book presents a pragmatic approach to land healing but is about far more than technique. It's about a way of sensing and communicating with the multidimensional world in which we live for the benefit of all lifeforms. Through concepts, processes, and stories drawn from the author's practice, this guide shows how the land-human partnership is a living, interactive, energetic relationship and how to actually conduct that relationship -- the essence of "whispering."
Most land whispering centers on clearing patterns of disharmony held within the environment, often for long periods, and resetting a fresh energetic baseline that frees the land to attract to it a more balanced set of behaviors and patterns and, in effect, redirect its storyline. Other aspects of the work include conducting soul retrieval for the land in areas devastated by human-caused trauma or natural events. The practice may be done proactively to help avoid creating imbalances, or reactively to redress existing imbalances, many of which developed because no one was aware enough to be proactive in the first place.
This book is valuable not only to people who want to become practitioners, but also to those interested in shamanic healing, co-creative processes, other intuitive arts (such as plant spirit medicine and sacred geometry), energy medicine, esoteric lore, and wisdom traditions. Landscape architects, land managers, property developers, urban designers and planners, realtors, farmers, ranchers, gardeners, and environmentalists may find this guide eye-opening and the practice applicable to their work. Business owners and those responsible for public spaces may find that their land-whispered environments support smoother interactions and greater productivity and, in the case of retail businesses, improved customer relations and sales. Community activists seeking "out of the box" approaches to help mitigate complex social problems such as violence, drug abuse, and displaced populations may find land whispering a promising tool where conventional solutions have been inadequate or failed entirely.
Wendell Berry tells us there are no sacred and unsacred places, only sacred and desecrated places. Land whispering offers a powerful and, for some, life-altering way to partner with Nature to help redress desecration.
Author Biography:
An editor-writer by profession, Carol Rosenblum Perry became interested in energy healing, shamanism, tarot and other intuitive arts, wisdom traditions in other cultures, and co-creative processes in the 1980s and early 1990s. Her life took an unexpected turn when she unwittingly embarked upon a long healer's apprenticeship that included a classic initiatory illness. In the late 1990s she opened a hands-on healing practice, applying what she'd learned through illness, teachers in various forms, experience, and self-study. Then, after several years, she found herself drawn to a larger, more complex body, a new "client" -- the land -- and began offering her services as a land and environmental healer, or "whisperer," through a practice that continues to evolve. Writing a book about land whispering is part of the ongoing commitment to this calling. In a related practice that supports planetary evolution, she also works intuitively with the whole Earth. All of Carol's work centers on communications. Using her analytical and intuitive skills, she bridges differing avenues of communications -- words and energy -- towards a common goal: greater clarity. Her understanding: The clearer we are, the better our world.
