What is a Spiritual Seed Planter? And Are YOU One?

You may be scratching your head with this one. And for that reason, I am here to fill you in that you are most likely one of the special seed planters on this planet. How do I sense this? Because you're reading this message.

Sometime last year, my friend and "colleague" in the spiritual world, Anna Flowers, approached me asking what I thought about seed planters. I cocked my head for a split second and almost instantaneously responded, "I think every single person I work with is one." Of course, she chuckled with a non-verbal head nod.

Since then, she and I have explored this concept more in-depth through channeling...

  • What is a seed planter?
  • How do you know who's a seed planter?
  • Are seed planters different from star seeds (star seed definition: Child of the stars; old soul reincarnated in human form; universally connected being, etc.)?

And so I am sharing a description of seed planters that I channeled (below, in writing) as well as Anna's audio channeling.

I highly recommend reading and listening because, as Anna and I have personally experienced, sometimes being a special "seed planter" doesn't feel so special. Sometimes it feels like you're on your own island surrounded by a bunch of "loonies." Well, maybe not loonies, but just some who need a gentle, loving nudge... hence the seed planters' primary role here! "The nudging."

Here's what I channeled about a seed planter; it's lengthy, but an interesting read:

"Many of us have come back to earth to help solve and heal discord. It is this innate soul purpose that draws us to those who seem to need the most help. This need to be of assistance is inherent in our soul's DNA.

Seed planters have volunteered their earthly time and energy to the universe and the collective to restore balance and bring order. They discern between dark and light and diplomatically have them shake hands in acceptance. They can't stand conflict nor do they want any part in it, nor do they understand why it even exists. They often have difficulty earthing or grounding because their very soul yearns for the stars, for 'home.'

Seed planters are confident within themselves, but they may feel like failures when those who need the most help won't or can't receive it. This need to heal others, and the rejection of it, can be a cyclical pattern that forces the seed planter into their very role.

They have to learn to relinquish control of their surroundings and wisely use their verbal influence on or with others as a means of identifying their soul's very nature. What this means is that many of the souls that surround them may not be ready to receive their inherent intuitive inclinations (especially if the other has not fully tapped into their internal compass). This can be shocking initially to their sense of self-worth and overall confidence. But once they understand the purpose of planting the seed and how to do so energetically (as opposed to verbally in the 3-D), they can fully embrace their power. The concept of 'failure' is actually part of their mission; they perpetually look to heal what has failed. They are not the failure, but they are here to shed light on what is possible."

I can often pinpoint my seed planters during Reiki sessions when I assess the chakras. My seed planters' lower chakras, from root to solar plexus, are far less active. Whereas from heart to crown and up, it's like an explosion of energy. This is because, as previously mentioned, they'd rather be somewhere else, not grounded or seemingly "trapped" here.

Check out the characteristics of a seed planter, described below. Do any of these apply to you?

 

SEED PLANTERS TEND TO:

  • Struggle deeply with any sort of conflict.
  • Attract conflict, ironically, or grow up in families where it is obviously present (in order to learn how to bring peace).
  • Be drawn to others who need help.
  • Have a history of codependency (in self, past life or ancestry) that they are learning to heal.
  • Struggle with boundaries, particularly related to others' addictive patterns.
  • Struggle to "fit" into one group or society's standards in general.
  • Struggle grounding to earth.
  • Love nature and working with the earth, just not necessarily grounding.
  • Have a fascination with the stars or explored constellations growing up.
  • Be exceptionally intuitive but often have no idea it's a "thing."
  • Doubt their own skills and abilities psychically, intuitively - but know that they "know" things.
  • Be born preceding and during drastic times of divisiveness.
  • Be fascinated by the human psyche (the subconscious).
  • Wholeheartedly believe in other dimensions.
  • Often "observe" instead of participate in group activities.
  • Be uncomfortable talking about themselves.
  • Innately understand energetics, and the energetics of sending love.

Difference between seed planters and star seeds:

  • Seed planters come to teach and heal others energetically.
  • Seed planters want only peace and are often misunderstood, meaning others might get jealous or think they're "holier than thou" offering the advice they do. But the seed planters' intention is always pure.
  • All seed planters are star seeds, but not all star seeds are necessarily seed planters. Seed planters are one step ahead in that they are already taking action to create and prompt change on a deep level.
  • Seed planters have experienced many aspects of life and have had to learn tools through observation, now ready to share that information with others who are ready to receive. They chose to come here to learn what needs to change - and then change it.
