How can PLANTS UNDERSTAND us?

Question

study shows that plants in a family with good relationship grow well, while plants in a family with stern relationship don't.

even i've heard that we can speak to plants & touch them... they will understand & it can affect their growth as well.

now the question is:
how it's possible? i mean how can they understand our feelings?
they dont understand our language, do they? specially because every country has it's own language & may you have a plant from other countries...
then HOW THEY UNDERSTAND OUR FEELINGS?

Answer 1

perception of energy,and emotions and the quality of them,there is a book,The Secret Life of Plants,by Peter Tompkins, Christopher Bird ,and it covers
the spiritual side of plants,also a Viennese biologist with the Gallic name of Raoul France put forth the idea, shocking to contemporary natural philosophers, that plants move their bodies as freely, easily, and gracefully as the most skilled animal or human, and that the only reason we don't appreciate the fact is that plants do so at a much slower pace than humans. The roots of plants, said France, burrow inquiringly into the earth, the buds and twigs swing in definite circles, the leaves and blossoms bend and shiver with change, the tendrils circle questingly and reach out with ghostly arms to feel their surroundings. Man, said France, merely thinks plants motionless and feelingless because he will not take the time to watch them.No plant, says France, is without movement; all growth is a series of movements; plants are constantly preoccupied with bending, turning and quivering. Far from existing inertly, the inhabitants of the pasture or what the ancient Hellenes called botane-appear to be able to perceive and to react to what is happening in their environment at a level of sophistication far surpassing that of humans
here is another impression of the book,:Cleve Backster, who trained people how to use lie detectors. As a lark, he hooked up his plants to a polygraph so he could monitor their responses.One day, Backster approached his Dracaena Massangeana with a lighted match and acted as if he were going to burn it. Not only did the plant go wild on the graph (Similar to a lie detector) but every other plant in the place did, too. He could hardly believe it. Continuing to experiment, he discovered that the plants responded to his thoughts even when he was miles away. One day, on the New Jersey Turnpike, he decided to let them know, through thought, that he was on his way home. When he arrived, he found that the plants had responded excitedly on the graph at the exact time he was communicating to them. Proximity was not a factor in their ability to sense him!here's the title of the book;
SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS- A Fascinating Account of the Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Relations Between Plants and Man by Tompkins,Peter

Answer 2

I've not heard of those studies, and I doubt the conclusion you came to. Even if the studies showed some sort of significant correlation, the causation may be something quite different than what you suggest. For example, a peaceful family may be more apt to take care of daily tasks such as watering and gardening, while dysfunctional families probably don't care so much.

Answer 3

May be there are natural spirits-comunicators living in plants and they respond to careful , loving and observing mind/s of the people that care after the plant.
Moreover do you know that plants/flowers could be also jelous?I have a big yelow rose in my garden- she knows that she is the first lady and when I think/yes, think,not say/ about some new planted rose she reacts by diminishing flowers.

Answer 4

Viewing it from a Quantum Physics perspective, simplified, everything that exists has its own frequency of vibrations. We emit these all the time, and they can change according to our moods and circumstances.

Following this idea, our vibes (or auras if you choose), touch everything around us, and we are able to some degrees to project or aim our vibrations (I like to call it our energies), in the directions we choose.

Can you see where this is going? Plants have their own vibrational levels too, and ours can reach them, and the reaction between their and our vibrations causes what we might call recognition or understanding.

How many times have you walked into a room and thought you could "feel the vibes"? ~smiles~

Hope this gives you food for thought.

Answer 5

I don't believe that plants respond to a family's quality of relationship. Plants have hormones to govern their responses to physical stimuli such as light and gravity. I have not read any studies that prove that plants respond to feelings.
