The Sacred Dance of Plant Medicine and Meditation
Sep 23, 2025
"More mindfulness, not more herbs."
David Crow, L.Ac., challenges the modern notion in herbalism that more is better. He asserts that when you approach plant medicine with mindful awareness, paying close attention to the sensations they create in your bodies, you dramatically amplify their healing effects.
This is one of the fascinating subjects that David discussed with Hannah, of the Journey to Well podcast.
In episode 22, The Sacred Dance of Plant Medicine and Meditation, David invites listeners to slow down, connect with the plant medicine, and to find profound healing that is accessible to all.

In this episode:
- Journey through Asian Medical Traditions
- The Spiritual Roots of Medicine
- Herbs and Meditation: A Powerful Combination
- How Attention Potentizes Herbal Medicine
- Entheogenic Plants and Traditional Containers
- Mindful Herb Selection for Meditation
- Meditation, Unity, and Reverence for Nature
Discover how a simple cup of tea, approached with reverence, can become a doorway to profound healing and connection.
And after you've listened, be sure to head over to The Art of Healing podcast and listen to the second half of Dr. Charlyce's interview with David, Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Medicine.
In David's most popular course Aromatic Alchemy, he teaches you to apply the concept of using meditation to potentize natural medicine in your aromatherapy practice.
