Talking&Walking with Trees – Gina O’Connor - a podcast by iOM Radio Network - OMTimes

Aired Sunday, 24 May 2015, 2:00 PM ET

Allayah welcomes Gina O’Connor, a practitioner of Peruvian Q’ero Inca Shamanism, Usui Reiki, and Tree and Plant Communication. Gina also incorporates the use of crystals and crystal skulls to enhance communication. Topics on this show will include how Gina fits all these modalities into her work, and which, among these practices, is her particular area of focus. Questions such as “How do Inca Shamans communicate with nature?” and “In what ways can we communicate with nature, and specifically with the trees?” will be answered. Gina will tell listeners what she has learned from these communications, and from trees especially. As well, Allayah and Gina will elaborate upon the reasons why it is so important to communicate with nature and trees – not the least of which is that doing so is, in Gina’s opinion, crucial to continued survival as a species on this planet. “I believe that we as humans can be very arrogant and think that we have all the solutions for ‘saving the planet’,” Gina writes, “but in fact, we do not understand the depth of knowledge and wisdom within the trees, plants, rocks, mountains, stars and spirits to be able to communicate to us what would be effective in living in balance on Mother Earth.” Gina adds, “…the process of communication with the trees or any part of nature is a very personal one and can be done by anyone with dedication, respect, openness and practice over time.” Be sure to listen in for an informative discussion with Allayah and Gina O’Connor.

About Guest Gina O’Connor

Gina O’Connor is an artist, healer, and teacher, whose primary passion and focus in life is to facilitate raising consciousness for herself, others, and her surroundings. Her underlying purpose in healing is to help others to find their creative compass or the inner seed of who they are and what brings them joy in life, without fear of judgment or lack of support. She feels most at home in nature, with animals and the trees, and enjoying creative activities such as painting, pottery, gardening, exploration, and music. Communicating with trees, flowers, stones, mountains, and animals brings her immense happiness, peace, and healing. It is for this reason that she is most drawn to spiritual traditions that have a deep connection, gratitude for, and balance with nature and the environment.
