Angry jalapeño

Ever since I learned that I am able to communicate with the trees and plants, many things that were happening started to make sense to me.

Green thumb or lack of respect?
I feel bad about bringing plants home because I eventually kill them unless they are kinds of plants that can take care of themselves. I often over-water or under water, etc. I used to think I don’t have a green thumb.

Since I learned how to communicate with the plants, I decided not to water plants based on those instructions that come with them that tell me how they have to be watered daily, etc. I decided to water them when they tell me to. What a difference that made…

I planted lavender last year which I killed because I was inconsistent in the watering. I over-watered sometimes, I didn’t water enough some other days. Eventually, I put it in the ground, but it was long gone. This year, I put it in a container that doesn’t have any holes on the bottom so I was very concerned about over-watering it. Because of that, I paid much closer attention to how it is doing before I gave it any water. It’s still alive and gives me nice scent sometimes.

I also planted orange tree about 2 years ago. This is a second winter. My husband and I were sure that it’d be dead by now, but it is still alive and growing. The other day, I sensed the need for a fertilizer and I decided to ask it what it needs. I was told to give it this natural fertilizer that I got as a sample from flower and garden show 2-3 years ago that I had forgotten about. So I did today. Will see how it goes.

The bottom line is that I didn’t respect them enough to pay attention how to take care of them properly. Sorry about that, plants!

Jalapeno was angry?
One day, the recipe we were cooking called for diced jalapeno. So I diced it nicely. After that, my fingers hurt so badly that I couldn’t think… Even though I washed my hands several times, when I touched my face, it made my face hurt. I didn’t know what to do, it felt as if jalapeno was angry at me for cutting it up…

So I decided to apologize how I was disrespectful in cutting it up and I really appreciated nurturing me with their body. I asked it to please forgive me and don’t hurt me further. If my stomach hurt as much as the fingers did, it’s not good… I debated if I should throw it away and not eat it but that’s disrespecting the sacrifice, so I asked it to allow me to eat it in peace as well.

Soon after I had this communication with this jalapeno, pain in my fingers disappeared and when I ate it, it was not bad and tasted great.

Just yesterday, I was eating roasted jalapeno that came with the dish my husband ordered. Boy it was hot. I typically eat them like bell pepper, they don’t bother me as much. This one did. I couldn’t eat my food because my mouth and lips were on fire.

I remembered the jalapeno from the past I mentioned above, so I decided to stop eating and apologize for being disrespectful again. I told it that I really appreciated it giving itself up to nurture me and I told it that I eat with respect.

The pain subsided right away and I was able to finish my dinner without pain.

Was jalapeno angry? If jalapeno is angry, how are other plants? Here’s a food for thought…
