Tree Spirit

I've always found trees to be one of the most magnificent and majestic presences in nature. Admiring Weeping Willows and finding Oak Trees absolutely enchanting, I always had hoped as a child that trees did have bellowing old voices...but what I didn't realise was that if we were able to tune into them, they'd have wonderful wise things to say!

Each tree has a guardian, an elemental just like plants and flowers have Fairies and woods have Nymphs. When a tree emerges from the earth, so does its spirit; a guardian that we do not see in our dimention but a soul that the tree possesses in order for it to do its part for our planet.

Fiona Murray's encounter with tree spirits (written in her book 'Messages From Nature's Guardians') opened my mind up to the idea that perhaps I should seek to spend time with trees. To have an exchange with each one: sit under it for a while and allow its knowledge to be spoken, and return, I'd perform some healing on the tree. Trees have an incredible energy and they help raise the vibration of the planet. The tree that Fiona Murray had communicated with had informed her that each type of tree has a specific healing property. How wonderful to think that we could sit by a particular tree for a particular problem and have them guide us to our healing.

Unfortuately, some trees' spirits struggle to maintain a high energy as they can be depleted by vandalism, neglect and low vibrational areas. Take time to look at some trees when you step out of the house. Those with strong, sturdy and brown tree trunks are healthy and would provide great healing. But if its trunk is chipped away and is almost a grey colour then that tree is in need of help. Send some pink energy to the tree for a while or bright white light. The tree will be grateful that you took the time to aid it in its struggle against polution and poor environmental care.

I am currently looking for more information on trees as I am not particularly equipped with specie knowledge. But the book: 'Listening to Trees' by Thea Holly is a good place to start and there are other titles on this subject that are available at Cygnus Books and at The Green Man Essences shop where tree essences and pieces of wind-felled wood from different trees are also available; these act as talismans or healing tools.

I love the idea of having a genuine natural piece of English Elm Wood or Silver Birch that brings me close to the spirit of its tree and empowers me at the fingertips with the glorious natural healing energy of Mother Earth herself and her beautiful guardians.
