Their instinct tells them which plants are safe to eat. We humans are animals too, and I\u2019d like to think we\u2019re equipped with the same sixth sense for foraging. But stare as I might at a plant growing in front of me, I find it hard to tell whether it\u2019s edible, what powers it might have, or how best to prepare and cook it. Each time I open my field guide to read up on the health benefits of an herb, it makes me sigh. Knowledge is just knowledge after all. What happened to my instinct?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earthquake and tsunami disaster of 2011 was a wake-up call to the issue of radioactive leakage. It made me realize that in order to coexist with nature, we need to first hone our ability to feel its power\u2014a power we were going to be relying on even more moving forward. Unable to sit still, I made a five-day trip (that\u2019s one way) into the depths of the Amazon jungle in Brazil. If I spent some time in the Amazon, surely, I would learn to hear the sounds of nature. My plan may seem simplistic, but I was quite serious about it at the time. I met a medicine woman and asked her for advice, and she whispered to me, \u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of you opening up your heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4476-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4476-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4476-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4476-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4476-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4476.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The cross-shaped flowers are a valuable source of nectar for honey bees<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Without yet understanding what those words meant, I spent days in the jungle recalling, confronting, and healing from the emotions I had neglected and left in my heart unattended\u2014sadness, anger, and loneliness. A dozen years on since that experience, now I understand what the medicine woman was saying. When ignored and left to accumulate inside us, emotions from the past engender uncertainty and anxiety, and this keeps us from accepting those emotions for what they are. We need to let our hearts vibrate, as softly and subtly as the vibration of plants, and once we\u2019ve learned to tune in to that vibration, we will be able to hear the silent sounds of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4619-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4619-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4619-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4619-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4619-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230223-DSC_4619.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Japanese wild radish is a coastal plant that knows the ocean by smell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In daily life, when we\u2019re pressed for time or preoccupied with next week\u2019s plans, the vibration of plants may be the last thing on our minds.
