The curative properties of trees
Taking a walk through nature is not only refreshing and energizing,
it can also be a healing experience thanks to the energy of trees.
In the early years of mankind, trees were regarded as special
beings, no doubt because of their size and majesty. Apart
from being the home of animals and birds, trees were also thought
to embody a spirit, and people would leave offerings to the
spiritual presence that resided in the tree.
In India, most local shrines are constructed under trees.
Shamans of Native American and Europe believed that trees also
possess curative powers. Different trees are said to have
particular medicinal properties.
The following is a brief list of trees and the healing qualities
they are said to contain...
Ash: brings peace of mind. Warts rubbed on the bark
will be absorbed into the tree.
Beech: reduces swellings and skin inflammations.
Helps to balance mental health.
Birch: the bark helps to heal wounds and burns.
Cedar: cleanses negative atmospheres.
Oak: brings vitality and long life.
Sassafras: eases problems with the digestive system.
Burying money near the roots of a Sassafras tree brings
prosperity.
Pine: a renewal of energy can be obtained by sitting under
a pine.
Willow: adds vital energy to the elderly and the sick.
Smoke created from burning the wood of a willow tree can soothe
and guide the souls of the dead.
How to find your own healing tree
Here is a small ritual for finding your own personal healing tree.
Enter a quiet park or forest that has a variety of trees.
Stand quietly amongst the trees and close your eyes. Take a
few deep breaths and release all thoughts from your mind.
Then allow your consciousness to drop through your body, and to
settle within your heart chakra. Now, with your eyes open,
but unfocused, start walking through the trees. You should
be able to feel the energy of each tree as you enter its aura.
When you find an energy that feels right for you, mentally ask the
tree for permission to physically make contact. If you then feel
that it is alright to do so, approach the tree and place your back
against it. Feel the energy of the tree resonating within
you. Which one of your chakras does this tree seem to affect the
most?
How to see a tree's view of the world
You can also enhance your psychic perceptions of the world around
you, by merging your consciousness with that of your healing tree.
Allow your aura to merge with the tree's energy field, and with
your eyes open, see the surroundings as if through the
consciousness of the tree. A silvery glow will surround the
area, and you will see the auras of other trees and plants.
When you have finished this experiment, thank the tree for its
participation, and move away from its energy field. Bring
your consciousness up through your body and into your head, then
take a few more deep breaths. Stamp your feet on the ground
to bring yourself back to full conscious awareness.
Clearing negativity with trees
It is said that trees can also absorb negative energy from our
bodies, without it doing the tree any harm. To clear
yourself of negativity, find another tree that you are intuitively
drawn to, and ask permission to give it the negative energy that
you have unwittingly stored in your body. Trees can
transform and use this energy for their own enhancement. To
gather and release negativity from your physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual self, run the palm of your left hand from
the top of your head, and down the right side of your body,
visualising the collection of negativity into your hands. Do
the same with your right hand on the left side of your body.
Then rub your hands on the trunk of the tree, thereby releasing
all the toxins that you have gathered. Also run your hands
down the front and back of your body and pass this onto the tree
as well. Do this three times, and when you are finished,
thank the tree for taking the negative energy from you.
Trees are more than lumps of wood with leaves attached. Make
the effort to walk through a national park or forest soon, and
take visual notes of the variety that exists even within the same
species of tree. By making the conscious effort to look
closely at a tree trunk, you will be surprised at the myriad of
patterns and colours that normally go unnoticed. Each tree
has its own characteristics and personality. And by taking
the time to attune to a few trees, you will be amazed at the
different styles of energy that emanate from them. For your
health's sake, hug a tree today!
