I really deeply believe that we all have incredibly unique gifts that we are meant to bring to help this time of evolution on our planet.

I do think it is a time of evolution, not devolution, and the only way we access those gifts and begin to understand them is by really seeing ourselves and learning to accept ourselves and hold ourselves with the kind of compassion that the Earth holds us.

Hey friends, it's Amber. Welcome to the Medicine Stories podcast where we are remembering what it is to be human upon the Earth.

This is episode 93 and this interview is very aligned with that theme.

I'm speaking with Asia solar, a writer, herbalist, earth intuitive, and the guide behind one willow apothecaries, an online hub for learning, healing, and connecting with the living world, and author of the beautiful new book mirrors in the Earth.

Asia was one of my first ever guests episode four, I believe.

Multidimensional plants and the fabric of consciousness. We also spoke on episode 42, you are your own healer, earth intuition, and self knowledge.

Before we get into it, I am so excited to tell you that our mythic medicinal St. John's word herbal body oil is out the 2022 batch has been released onto the world.

This is something that hundreds and hundreds of people wait for every year and it has happened.

So the link to that will be in the show notes. You can listen to episode 79 if you haven't already to learn more about the sunshine medicine and healing magic of St. John's word such a special plant.

And if it's sold out when you click that link, I don't think it will be, but if it is, we have a lot more coming this year.

If this is spring of 2023, it might be sold out for good until the next year's batch, but we made so much this year. In fact, I'm sitting in a room right now recording this with I don't even know how many like 60 gallons of St. John's word brewing.

Okay, so the Patreon bonuses there are two that go along with this episode. Patreon is a website where you can support the work of creators you love and it is what makes this podcast possible.

The minimum monthly subscription rate is $5 and all the best things are released there at that level at the acorn level.

There's tons and tons of previous bonuses for other episodes that you'll find. And for this, the first bonus is a half hour extra conversation between me and Asia entitled the medicine of the subtle and nourishing a highly sensitive nervous system, including babies and children, where we share our experiences and what we have found helpful with indispensable resources linked.

So we touch a little bit in this episode on the trade of high sensitivity, which is related to, but not necessarily the same as being empathic.

And so we just decided to record this bonus talking about how we deal with our own highly sensitive nervous systems and those of our children.

And at the very end of that recording, I told her about this product I recently found from milk moon herbals called no worries that has been so helpful for me and I can't imagine my upcoming ancestral pilgrimage to the UK without it.

And I messaged the owner of the company, my friend Michelle afterwards being like, I just want to let you know that you know I brought this up and in this recording and she gave me a 10% off coupon code to use on any product in their shop.

So that's there as well at patreon patreon.com slash medicine stories, you'll find the recording with me and Asia that coupon code other resources as well as a give away for Asia's book one person will win a signed copy of mirrors in the earth reflections on self healing from the living world.

It's just such a soul nourishing book and you'll really get a feel for it and for Asia, if you don't already know her in this conversation.

So without further ado, let's listen to my interview with Asia solar.
