It is now, in this time of Great Awakening that the trees become extremely relevant to our transformation.
Trees are one of the greatest examples of a “tween” place, a portal between the physical plane and the more subtle realms. The reason for this is simple – their roots reside deep within the Mother Earth, while their branches soar to the heavens, acting as receptors for cosmic wisdom, acting as a bridge between Spirit and Matter, Heaven and Earth.
Through gentle contemplation of the trees, we may come to know the subtle realms of the Earth.
Even deeper still, we may also come to discover that the trees hold a living “road map” for spiritualizing matter, bringing spirit into form in order to arise and erect dreams of our sacred heart. Because remember, dreams coming from our holy heart temple are actually dreams that originate from, and thus align with Gaia’s heart womb.
How can we begin to experience and open to the wisdom they have for us?
First, simply being in the presence of trees can activate heart consciousness, which is really the first step to relationship-building with the living world.
Have you ever been walking through a forest or tree-lined space and felt yourself relax and move into stillness and peace?
Or maybe you even experienced a tingling sensation accompanied by a sense of well-being?
There’s so much more going on here than just the physiological compounds emitting from the trees.
The trees affect us deeply, all the way to the energetic level. In fact, the energy fields of the trees extend way beyond their physical form, activating the memory that lies deep within our own being.
When walking among them in an area such as a forest or wooded space, consciously become aware of how you feel. Invite the trees to recalibrate your energy field in order to allow this ancient wisdom to bubble up from deep within you.
Another way to experience the blessings of the trees is to cultivate a relationship with a specific tree.
Is there a particular type of tree that you are fond of? Each type of tree has a unique energetic and set of medicine codes. This medicine is for humanity at this time and can support us on both a collective and an individual level.
Once you have determined which tree is calling to you, then you can open to receive its healing gifts.
You can do this in a couple different ways.
First, you can work with the essence of this tree. Essences are the vibrational patterns and medicine codes preserved and bottled, so that they can then be ingested to receive the healing frequencies of that tree, flower or plant. A few Elemental Whispers tree essences are listed below, if you’re interested in working in this way.
Another way to work with a particular tree is to find the tree in your surrounding area. Physically visit the tree, and sit with your back up against its trunk. Begin to breathe with the tree. This puts you into a state of receptivity. Simply intend to align your breathing with the tree, and it will occur.
Either way, whether working with the physical tree or its essence, you’ll want to take time to breathe and feel the tree’s energy. Just be open.
Over time, this can even lead to an oracular experience whereby you receive information and intuitive wisdom in the form of sensations, pictures, sounds, or feelings. Do not worry if you are not consciously able to track all of the information you receive at any given time.
Also don’t overthink this or try to force it to happen. The “download” can often come through when you least expect it, such as in your dreams, or in a journaling session.
Before you complete, make sure you offer gratitude and thank the tree.
This is simple enough to do daily or weekly. Consistency is important here. Remember we do not develop a deep and meaningful friendship overnight. Even if you do not have time to do the entire exercise above, take time daily to consciously acknowledge the tree you are working with. You will be amazed at how this changes your life, and helps you awaken to your connection with All That Is.
Most of all, remember relationships take time. So be patient. This is only the beginning.
