learn from the trees

The Wisdom of The Trees

"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings, while incense is ever flowing from the balsam bells and leaves. No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself." -- John Muir

I am a tree hugger! no, really, Have you hugged a tree lately? I highly recommend it

A Plea from the heartwood

The Trees are alive , conscious and Eager, in some cases desperate, to speak with us. They have great wisdom to share with us and some have great pain and need that you can help heal. A great deal of the pain on the Earth is the result of humankind's' choice to glorify the so called rational mind and to completely shut out the voices of the other beings that are with us in this reality. When we refuse to hear the individual voices in this great living entity That is the Universe we do ourselves great harm .

We can now recover what we have lost and the wisdom that we have hidden even from ourselves. When we go into the forests and ask the great trees to remind us of what we have forgotten, as they are waiting to do. This is when we will heal ourselves and the wounded Earth.

TO LISTEN TO THE TREES

A meditation practice

The trees are lords of nature.
we are nature also
quiet your mind
allow the trees
to find you here
Greet them , choose one
to sit or stand before
open your heart, and mind
Listen, feel, share,
know the tree
trees teach of time,
rooted in the Earth
heads in the sky
they sing their songs
they guide you to find balance
and harmony in all life
honor the trees
for these gifts freely given
thank this tree for what it is,
give this tree your gift of love
return now gently, to yourself.
Separate your mingled energies
and remember what you are.

You may find this strange but there are meditations of all the trees in the World
They join in telepathic communions for the healing and restoration of the forests of the Earth
They invite humans to join them in these meditations a suggested time is 6 pm on Sundays
the Live Oaks are said to lead this meditation but the RedWoods also invite us You may also commune with the trees whenever you choose .

Industrial street -grove
Where I used to live there was a run down industrial area on the way when I walked to the local shopping area . There stuffed into small diamond cutouts in the concrete were a few trees . About 15 feet tall and round topped they were a round leafed evergreen with small white flowers most of the year .they were almost enclosed by concrete walls and had outgrown their cutouts the sidewalk was pushed up around them. I always felt sorry for those trees so far away from a natural setting . then one day i found a bench placed under one old tree. I stopped to sit and touching the tree I thought how sad it was that it had to be here in this dismal spot. Then I heard inside me very clearly and firmly . "I am a sacred tree, Where ever I am it is a sacred grove ". and I knew that like the tree we carry our sacredness and beauty with us always.

DO You Remember When Fairies Danced in your Garden?

Perhaps when you were a child you did hear the voices on the wind or see and or sense the deva , angels and spirits that are around you and if you did probably at some time you were told that It was only your imagination ,That these beings were not "REAL", They are REAL, they do not have bodies in the same way that we do, they exist in the many non physical planes of Universe, and borrow images from minds for any shapes we may see. now it is time for us to renew our old friendships. and begin to work actively with the angels and Deva to build and nurture this world and all the beings in it.
