I know this thread is old, but after reading, I wonder if anyone has a feel for group spirit identities? I think I read in one of Bach's slimmer books on flower essence, that he said plants have a group spirit level, (and that may be in addition to individual spirits.) I have trouble connecting to an individual rose, but I can sense the overal rosiness, I have not made the link to discerning individual plants. I keep trying.
I can definitely connect to my individual cats and feel which one is staring at me behind my back, with intense "feed me", and I can see in their eyes if their feelings are hurt or if they are playful, or snuggly, or mad. There is nothing more distinct than a flaming, puce red aura on a cat that will attack another cat in the next second of it's life. Where I'm going with this is, I see plant auras and when I ask a plant if I can cut a portion to use, if I see a response, a brightening of the aura then I take that as permission to cut. No response is a no. That is the only way I can connect to small, individual plants.
I love the sound of the breeze in the trees. It is like laughter.
