Communicating with Trees



August 11, 2014

I know many of you understand that we can communicate with our animals, but do you know that you can also communicate with all of nature? Everything has consciousness and therefore you can communicate with anything – rocks, trees, plants, animals, even the elements of air, wind, earth and water.

I find that trees are very friendly and easy to connect with. If you develop a relationship with a tree in your yard or nearby, you’ll be amazed at the friendship that can result. So find a tree that you love and start spending time with it.

Sit across from the tree and gaze at it silently. Often you will see faces in the bark. Or sit with your back against it and ask that it help you ground and get calm. Trees can take us to a very quiet place where telepathy happens.

I also like to put my arms around the tree and hold it until I feel my heartbeat sync up with the beat of the tree (you just have to trust me on this one). Then call out mentally to the tree and introduce yourself. Tell the tree how much you appreciate it and what it does for you, your area and the planet. Now relax and open up your heart and listen. Notice the images, thoughts, words or feelings that come in, and accept them as real. The more you do this, the deeper your relationship will become and the more information you can gain. You also might think of interesting questions to ask, like what’s your favorite season, time of day, or critter that hangs out in this area?

Some of the coconut palms in Bimini were yellowing and not doing well this year. We all sat down and talked to them asking what it was that they needed. There were some minerals and nutrients lacking in the soil, but many of the trees said that they needed acknowledgment. They didn’t like that we brushed by them and never even said Hello. It was quite a lesson for some of the people in my group.

I have had many amazing conversations with trees and they so love it when we acknowledge them and connect. They stand silently for hundreds of years, holding the energy of the planet, giving us food, wood, shade and oxygen. It’s time we showed our appreciation and offered our friendship.

Let me know how it goes. I’d love to hear your tree stories.
