Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I was having trouble with my 9 yr old & a person on another list suggested hugging a tree. Of course to get him to do it I had to also. It completely turned him around & inspired me with the following knowledge. Trees Everyone is aware of the many physical benefits of trees. Trees also have another function that is not as well known in our current culture. Everything has a spirit essence & purpose also. I'd like to share with you what was shared with me by the Tree Spirits. Tree Spirit Essence: Transformation – taking negative energy away to balance & returning positive energy. Service Patience Serenity Resilience Tenacity So Hug a Tree Everyday Take a little Pure Water, ask the Spirit of the tree for it's help. Offer gratitude & thankfulness to the tree, then sprinkle a little pure water at the base of the tree. Then hug the tree, close your eyes – breathing out your negativity (fears, worries, dislikes, frustrations, etc) whatever is out of balance for you & breathe in the opposite (love, compassion, understanding, patience, etc). Think these thoughts with each in-breathe & out-breath. Breathe in with your nose – positive & out through your mouth – negative. Continue for a minute or longer. (with children shorter time) When done sprinkle the tree & ground with your water in gratitude & thankfulness for the Tree, the Earth, the Water. Human life could not exist without them. (Or ask for your own ritual). And take the essence of the Tree Spirit into your everyday life. a SoaringHawk aSoaringHawk Radiating UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & Truth To ALL who share our circle – our universe, our love, our trust.
