One mammal, in particular, is often associated with Australia and it is the dingo.  These fantastical creatures are very much a part of the rich natural landscapes that that can be experienced, and are an important part of Aboriginal culture.

For the Aborigines, the purpose of the plant kingdom is to feed animals and humans, to hold the soil together, to enhance beauty, to balance the atmosphere, and to be a companion and teacher by example. They are the original “environmentalists.” Many indigenous people believe that the plants and trees sing to humans silently, and all they ask is that we sing to and care for them in return.

As an Australian, when I first began to explore natural healing many years ago I was naturally drawn to many aspects of Aboriginal culture that could be incorporated in to my healing practice.  One of my teachers, Pamelia Evans, had worked with the Aborigines in Australia for three decades. “The Aborigines believe that you can tell everything about a person on how plants react to a person or when you give a person flowers”, she would say.  “Just watch how the plants or flowers react to the person.  As you do this the plant is taking in the energy of the person and its environment. Usually, if the person or location has bad energy the plant will wither and die quickly, now matter how much water and food you give the plant.
