A Meditation With Trees

The deep forest

This is a meditation that can be done with any tree or grove of trees you are drawn to. You can be in the woods or at the edge of a woods. The important thing is to be where the energy feels right to you.  Doug  





     Before you sit down, stand firmly upon the ground and observe the beauty of the trees and the whole natural world around you.  Take a moment to notice the shape of the trees, their texture, colors, etc. and be in a state of appreciation for the trees being in your life. With your arms at your side, your elbows slightly bent, and with the palms of your hands facing outward, slowly bring your arms up in order to gather energy from the trees. Bring them over your head with your palms now facing each other. Next, face your palms downward and lower your hands slowly back to where you started, knowing you are filling your body up with the healing energy of the trees. Do this at least 3 times. After you feel filled up with the high vibrational energy of the trees, sit down where you are comfortable (but not too relaxed).  Now take some slow deep breaths, breathing in the essence and spirit of the trees around you.  Do this at least 5 times. Close your eyes and notice how you feel. If there are any areas of tension in your body, relax those areas and let that go. Relax your whole body and set aside any and all thoughts of the day that come into your mind. Turn off your mind completely and just be with the energy of the trees for as long as you wish.  When you are ready, you may ask the trees for a healing. Just be still and know that in some form you will receive healing energy from them. The healing may come in the form of energy you feel, or in the form of a greater sense of peace and serenity. It may also come as a vision and invite you to participate in something in your mind's eye.  You may encounter the spirit of a tree or possibly an angelic being, or even another kind of gentle being who knows what kind of healing you need. You may even find yourself flying above the treetops or floating through a forest. The important thing is to just allow the vision to unfold without trying to figure it out or make it something that it's not.  Great trust is needed here. Just take as long as you need for the healing or the pleasant vision to take place.  When you feel it is done and you are ready to come back, simply begin by wiggling your toes and moving your fingers.  Become aware of your breathing and your surroundings and open your eyes when you are ready.  At this time, stand up and thank the trees. Send them your love and appreciation for all they have done. Thank the Earth, too, sending it love and appreciation for supporting and loving you and allowing you to live upon it.  Send as much love as you can to all of nature. Thank you for doing this meditation.  You should now feel very relaxed and uplifted into a much higher vibration of joy and love.

Stand facing a tree as close as you can with your hands on it.

Ground into Mother Earth in the manner you’re accustomed to. Be with that energy until it feels like you’re ready to go to the next step. 

Then bring that energy up into your solar plexus. Be with that energy until it feels like you’re ready to go to the next step.

While holding the Earth energy in your solar plexus, bring Universal energy down through your crown chakra, continuing down to your solar plexus. Be with that energy until you feel ready to go to the next step.

Then, in your solar plexus, spin the Earth energy and the Universal energy together, clockwise, asking for healing. Be with this until you feel complete.

Next, send the mixed Earth/Universal energy down into Mother Earth and up into the Universe. 

Finally, hugging the tree, place your forehead against it asking for insights, guidance, whatever you feel you desire.

Give thanks for the experience.

The Tree People

A Message from the Tree People through Douglas Davis:




(Published in the December 2014 issue of Sedona Journal)

We have never felt so hopeful as we do now.  For we know that in the
coming year more of Earth's people will fall in love with trees. More
of you will awaken to the great wisdom of trees and come to appreciate
us for the grand conscious beings we are.  This will be a great step
forward for the planet. Some people will see a tree 'for the first
time,' so to speak, and gaze at it in wonderment, while asking
themselves how it is they never noticed one of us before, and never
felt the life force of such a magnificent being in the past.

Although we are rooted into your 3rd dimensional soil, we are beings
of the 5th dimension. We are love and joy in physical manifestation on
your planet. We bring the consciousness of peace, stillness, pure
bliss, and unconditional love for all humans who wish to understand
these energies. Some of you do not recognize this because you do not
see it in yourselves and you do not remember who you really are. We
are complete and total bliss. This is how we feel most of the time, on
any given day, no matter the chaos that may be going on around us. On
rare occasions, one of us may feel sensitive to noise, fear, or anger
from the humans. But, normally we grow and reach for the sky in
ecstatic vibration and joy. We know who we are. We are beings of light
and love and great wisdom and are ready to share these attributes with
anyone willing to listen and feel our heartbeat.

Our planet is growing and expanding in light. For those sensitive
enough to see, our energy fields are expanding. They are brighter and
more exuberant.  We are aware of the energy fields of humans and their
intentions. When we feel something, we know and trust it to be true.
Let's go humans!  You need to do the same. That which you feel in your
bodies is your inner guidance. However, your thinking minds stop you
in your tracks. They back you up and keep you from moving or expanding
your life. You don't need physical proof of anything. The truth is
always known by your inner being. You contact this truth through
feeling. That is your proof.

We can tell you there is great heart energy building on your planet.
In the coming cycle of time you refer to as 2015, there will be more
water made available in areas where it is badly needed, plus a greater
balance of nature as more and more humans become balanced in their own
male and female energies. There will be more communication with nature
and the trees, plus a much greater awareness that you can create the
right balance of resources for the planet and for yourselves. We feel
relieved and happy for you and happy for ourselves.

More and more individual humans will begin to experience periods of
bliss and great inner peace, seemingly for no reason. You will
suddenly find yourselves in a blissful state and you will wonder why.
You are becoming more of who you really are. This is not something
unusual and you do not need to ask your friends and doctors if there
is something wrong with you!  Just enjoy it and go with it. You are
simply surrendering to the expansion of love and light taking place
within the totality of your being. You are returning to the light in
consciousness, and so are your bodies. The coming cycle of time you
refer to as 2015 will be known as the Return to Bliss and Lightness of
Being.

When a gentle wind blows we are speaking. We will speak more in the
coming times and, therefore, you will notice more gentle and glorious
winds. The winds will feel different to you, they will feel softer and
more loving, with a refined and higher energy. They will carry
messages that help to stir something magnificent inside you. Be with
nature all you can. It will assist you more than ever in your
ascension and unfolding into greater freedom, and in remembering your
path of higher purpose and joy.
