Book Review by Jean Bonnen
The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. Harper paperback $17.00.
I reread parts of this book several times a year. It is a fascinating account of the physical, emotional, and spiritual relations between plants and people.
It is mind boggling to consider that plants have feelings and that I can send good feelings to a plant hundreds of miles away and that plant will register a “feeling.” Knowing this has given me a much greater respect for plants. I’ve always loved gardening. I notice my plants are healthier
when I talk to them, tell them they are wonderful, beautiful, etc.
There are other astonishing stories related to Kirlian Photography, Nikola Tesla, dowsing to determine the health of plants, study of auras, etc. This was written over 40 years ago but is still quite interesting. There’s so much more to this book! I highly recommend it.
