How To Hug a Tree - different hugs!

 

 

 

 

 

Here's How:

 

 

 

Find yourself a quiet park, forest, or woodland area.

Walk among the trees until you feel comfortable in their presence.

Feel the different bark textures with the palms of your hands.

Smell the scent of the various woods.

 

 

Absorb their life's energies as you look upwards to the

sprawling branches overhead.

Find the perfect tree that fits your mood. You will know which one is right for

you.

 

 

 

Vertical Tree Hug: Encircle it with your arms while gently pressing your cheek

to the trunk being careful not to scratch your face. Squeeze tightly. Sigh

deeply. Be one with your tree.

 

 

 

Full Body Tree Hug: Sit upon the ground wrapping your legs around the base of

the tree and at the same time embracing it with your arms.

 

 

 

Up in the Air Tree Hug: Climb a tree. Sit upon a strong limb and straddle it

with your legs. Bend forward and place your belly against it while wrapping

your arms about it.

 

 

 

 

 

Tips:

Feel free to hug more than one tree if the mood strikes. Besides, other trees

might get jealous.

You may like to take home a fallen leaf or nut as a keepsake from your new

friend.

Be sure to return each season to visit your tree. And don't be afraid to talk to

it as trees are good listeners.

 

 

 

Have a *Magickal* Day!
