Coriolus is one of Earth’s most famous healing mushrooms, extracts of which are licensed in Japan and China to support various medical conditions, whilst also being highly prized in both North America and many parts of Europe. It is never to be underestimated. It has a nebulous quality, which whilst sometimes subtle feeling ( in comparison to some of the other mushrooms), is quite amazing. A nebulous in a star-forming region, where new stars come into being. It is as if Coriolus gently whilst profoundly awakens us, encouraging a deep level of integration within our physiological networks and pathways, which in turn helps us weave a deeper connection with nature, our planet, and the Universe.
Coriolus (akin to its fellow mushrooms Chaga, reishi, and Cordyceps) is a broad-spectrum, antimicrobial and immunological tonic. It may also help to support metabolic health, promoting a healthy metabolism. It is considered particularly strengthening for our digestive system and spleen, including our gut microbiome, having a natural pre and probiotic effect, also our heart (emotions), liver, and lungs.
Coriolus is known as Elfenbankje or The Fairy bench in Holland. It is sometimes said to assist us to heal from childhood (past) trauma, It certainly has a sweet, joyful, and deeply nurturing quality that makes us feel more supported from the inside out. As we more greatly enjoy the sacred, and interconnectedness of our being and all life we are encouraged to further expand our awareness, through which we may transcend and heal our bioenergetic memory (wounded parts). It helps us to enjoy more synchronicity, grace, and beauty in our lives.
When I think of Coriolus I am reminded of the all-seeing and knowing Celtic Green Man, Merlin energy, Golden Eagles, and the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi.
Its spirit is gentle whilst profound, like the ever-abundant healing power of nature.
