I did not know Cecilia well, having met her only twice--once for a class on California medicinal plants and another for a personal healing, but she was a formidable woman who made quite an impression on me! In fact, the first time I met her I was scared of her, she was so powerful, with her laugh more a cackle than a laugh and the strong, no-nonsense way she expressed herself. But when I had the healing with her, I could sense the caring and nurturing under her sometimes gruff exterior.





One thing Cecilia gifted me with as a result of my having worked with her is an abiding love for California native plants, especially the sages. During my healing she had me take fresh-picked California medicinal plants and sew them into a neckerchief. I still wear this around my neck every night when I go to sleep, and it has been about a year now; I just love the smell of the dried plants! I feel as though the plants are my friends--I talk to them when I see them during nature walks, and they talk to me in the ways of Spirit.





This is quite an amazing healing for me, because since childhood I was told I was "allergic" to most plants, trees, "weeds" and sages and did not find out until adulthood that this was just NOT TRUE--these plants are my ALLIES, and I reacted so strongly to them since childhood because they wanted to GET MY ATTENTION. Working with Cecilia helped confirm this for me, and I not only do I now believe this, I KNOW this through experience.





Thank you Cecilia, for the BEing that you were on Earth and the BEing that you still are. You have joined your Ancestors after a job well done on the earth plane of existence.





Blessings, mayah
