Master herbalist teaches how to interact directly with plants and develop personal connections with nature
CHICAGO, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For author and Dr. Crystal Neumann, D.B.A., M.H., home is a living sanctuary, thriving with trees, herbs, and gardens that reflect her deep commitment to plant-based wisdom. Holding a doctorate in Business Administration and bringing years of experience in higher education, she offers a fresh academic perspective on the natural world in her new book, "Whispers of the Wild: Unlocking the Secret Language of Plants," a guide blending plant knowledge with spiritual practices and the latest research in plant cognition.
In the guide, readers will explore the concept of communicating directly with plants. Through a blend of meditative exercises, guided interactions, and messages received from specific plants, Neumann offers readers a chance to develop meaningful relationships with "plant allies," sharing how connections are presented not merely as botanical curiosities, but pathways to emotional support, personal growth, and spiritual insight.
"These teachings are rooted in science and spirit," Neumann said. "By weaving together recent discoveries in plant cognition with spiritual insights, the guide invites readers to experience plants as sentient allies, capable of guiding us toward healing, emotional balance, and a deeper connection with nature."
In addition, drawing on ancient herbal traditions and emerging scientific research on interspecies communication, Neumann seeks to bridge the gap between intuitive wisdom and scientific understanding.
She introduces readers to recent studies on plant intelligence and bio-communication, offering a holistic framework that encourages them to engage with plants as living beings, ready to share messages, offer wisdom, and provide nurturing support.
"Nature grounds me, it guides me and connects me to something greater," Neumann said. "This bond also ties me to my native roots, where honoring nature has always been a way of life, a lesson I hope to share with my readers and encourage them to share this sacred connection as well."
