Spit, Soil, and Spirit: The Mystical Way to Grow Your Own Healing Garden

Nature provides everything you need.

Hello Kindred Spirits,

Thanks for stopping by and reading my posts.

Today, we're diving into something that's equal parts earthy, mystical, and, yes, a bit bizarre — Anastasia seeds. If you've never heard of them, you're about to have your mind tickled with wonder and maybe even question our true connection to the Earth and all she offers.

I've known about Anastasia seeds for a while now but never thought to write about them. But lately, I've been reflecting on how we can deepen our relationship with the plants we grow, and it seems like the perfect moment to share this ancient wisdom.

If you've been thinking about starting your own medicinal garden or want to bring more intention to your existing growing practice, this might be exactly what you're looking for. Now, while this ritual — yes, I said ritual — for planting Anastasia seeds is mainly meant for outdoor gardens, there's no reason you can't use it for your indoor plants too. You'll just need to adjust the instructions when preparing your soil. More on that later.

So, what are Anastasia seeds? Well, they're not something you'll find at your local nursery or garden center. Nope, these seeds come with a backstory that's straight out of a spiritual fairytale.

The Story Behind Anastasia Seeds

Anastasia seeds are inspired by the Ringing Cedars book series by Vladimir Megre. The first book, published in 1996 and titled Anastasia, blends spiritual philosophy, environmentalism, and alternative lifestyle ideas. The books describe the life and teachings of a woman named Anastasia, who lives in the Siberian taiga and possesses profound knowledge of nature and human potential.

According to the books, Anastasia believes that seeds are more than just tiny specks of life — they're bundles of energy and intention. You can actually grow seeds tailored to your nutritional needs. The plants from these seeds will provide the exact nutrients and healing properties your body requires.

Anastasia's method involves two key steps:

  • Spitting on the seeds
  • Going barefoot in the soil before planting

Stick with me — there's some seriously cool symbolism (and even some science) behind it!

Why Spit on the Seeds?

Okay, so spitting on seeds might not sound like the most glamorous gardening tip, but in the context of Anastasia's teachings, it's all about energy transfer. Here's the idea:

Your saliva contains your unique biological information — your DNA, your energy, your essence. By spitting on the seeds, you're essentially imbuing them with your personal energy.

Why Go Barefoot in the Soil?

Now let's talk about the barefoot part — this one's a biggie.

One of the ways your body detoxes is through sweating, and yes, we sweat through our feet. (Ever wondered why those socks can get so smelly?)

Sweat is a mixture of water, salt, and other waste products, like urea and lactic acid. So, when you walk barefoot in the Earth, the sweat from your feet provides the soil with vital, personalized information about your health.

When you're ready to plant, the soil and the seeds are, in essence, programmed to provide the nutrients and healing properties your body requires.

And here's an added bonus: walking barefoot also allows you to absorb the Earth's subtle electric charge. When you do, you're receiving electrons that can help reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and boost your overall vitality. This practice, known as "earthing" or "grounding," has been supported by scientific studies for its positive effects on health.

Plus, let's be honest — there's something freeing and childlike about feeling the soil between your toes. It's a reminder to slow down, be present, and enjoy the simple joys of life.

Why I'm All In on Anastasia Seeds

As someone who loves to combine health and spirituality, Anastasia seeds are the perfect marriage of the two. Here's why I'm all in:

They're All About Intentional Living

Planting Anastasia seeds isn't just about growing food; it's about setting an intention. It's a reminder that everything we do — whether it's eating, gardening, or just living — can be infused with purpose and love.

They Connect You to Nature

Let's be real, most of us are way too disconnected from the Earth. We buy our food in plastic packages and forget that it actually comes from the ground. Growing your own food, especially with this kind of mindful approach, brings you back to your roots.

They're a Nod to Ancestral Wisdom

This practice taps into something our ancestors knew instinctively — that we're not separate from nature, we're part of it. There's wisdom in honoring that connection.
