Siberian Spruce of Russia

This is a message from the Siberian Spruce in Russia. It's not a 'normal' tree message. It's mainly a meditation. I was expecting the usual tree wisdom, but they offered me this awesome meditation. It works for me to just read it and drift there in my imagination, and I feel such calm and peace. This will work in any woods with any trees. Doug

--------------------------------------------------------

The Meditation offered to us by the Siberian Spruce -- As you enter into our presence, drift slowly, wander slowly. Lose yourself in our presence. You will know such wonderful peace and calm. Drift slowly, just drift. You have never known such calm. There is nothing else but this moment right now as you float along through our woods, passing by our trunks and our lower branches; just right now. You will know when it's your time to relax and center yourself with one of us. Walk slowly and quietly, paying attention to the sounds and the breath of Mother Earth. Quietly, very quietly and very slowly, when you are ready, walk up to one of us and touch our bark. Close your eyes with both hands on the tree and sing praises about yourself, such as: I am beautiful, I am benevolent, I am divine, I am love, and so forth. Then become silent. Move slowly to the ground next to us and lie down on the soft carpet of needles. You may lie flat or sit with your back against the tree. Stretch your arms out, then bring them back to your sides. It is now time to day dream. Dream only of pleasant things. You may hold your attention on the gentle sounds of the forest, such as the wind or animals. If you find your attention drifting among the trees, do so. If you find yourself in another realm, let go and allow it. Stay and dream with us for as long as you wish. While you do so, we will envelope you with a joyous, blissful energy. You may stay in this blissful state with us as long as you wish. It is up to you. When you have completed your dream and it's time to move on, we would suggest walking quietly for awhile afterwards among all of our friends as you bring yourself back to your body. (End of meditation)

We are happy to have you sit with us while you experience states of bliss and joy. That is the state we are in. Pure joy and bliss. We know it can be difficult for some of the humans to sit still, leave your distractions, and even believe you deserve to be in such a state. It is who you are. You are not your distractions. You are not what the world says you are. You are bliss and joy. You are us, only with the ability to move around. What you feel from us--the quiet, the joy, the stateliness, the pride, the majesty--that is also you. You are all of this as your natural state. And if you admire our beauty, you are admiring your own beauty. Our message is a very simple one. There comes nothing very complex or intellectual from us. We are a family. We ask you to celebrate your majesty with us as you feel guided. Thank you. The Family of Siberian Spruce

A Message from the Tree People -- Autumn 2016

"Welcome A New Light" **

(A Channeled Message from The Tree People through Doug Davis

We are the Tree People. We come to you with great feeling and joy and we shower you with love and kindness. We stand tall and ask you to stand proudly with us as part of our community of conscious beings. Our love pours out to you and our beloved planet upon which we rest and grow and draw nourishment. As we are connected to everything--to the mind and nervous system of Mother Earth, to the potential of all energies, and to the consciousness of all beings, we are able to discern what is immediately ahead on the planet for our human companions as they continue to work toward their collective evolution.

As we approach the end of your current period of time you refer to as 2016, and soon begin another cycle called 2017, we sense a great energy building. The coming cycle will see the energies of love, community, and truth blossoming forth unlike we've known them before. We are seeing increased waves of love coming.These waves will sweep the world and bring to the people more kindness and generosity and empathy for one another. Love will pour forth from the collective hearts of humanity and the trees will witness the expansion of your auric fields. The planet and all kingdoms of life upon it will benefit from this.

In addition, more truth about your world and its citizens will usher forth with increased frequency. Much more that has been hidden by those in charge will continue to be exposed. We feel this in our beings and in the vibrations of the soil and planet, and we feel this from you, the humans. It will be almost daily, non-stop. Also, the truth of each individual's life plan and purpose will be right there for each of you to face and feel. You won't be able to deny it. And it will be extremely difficult for you to work and play and live any type of life that is not your path. You will feel great resistance, great stress and such unhappiness, and you may become ill. Look at us, the Trees. Do we not live our truth? Do we not live each day as who we are? We are happy and joyful. We love our lives and we love this planet. We are Love and Truth. We witness humans who do not live their truth or follow their hearts, and they are sick. In the coming year, living your truth and following your heart and your bliss will mean happiness and radiant health. Do not live someone else's truth or follow someone else's plan for you. Live free and in joy!

Look at us and how we grow. Do we not need one another? Do we not care for each other? Are we not connected to the planet and to each other and to you, the humans? As we help the others in our community, we help ourselves. More of this will be practiced in the coming cycle of time. It has to because it is who you are. You are "Community". You are the Web of Life. You are all related and connected to each other and to all life, including us, the Tree People. In the coming year, you will begin to truly know you are not alone and separate. You will begin to feel a brighter light shining within you and see a brighter landscape. You will begin to see the light in others.

We feel a change in the Sun coming next year. We would not say exactly that it is getting bigger, but its influence will be much greater. It will appear brighter and, at the same time, give the feeling that it's softer and friendlier. The Sun Being will be offering its increased positive energies to further assist with the upliftment of humanity. You will be able to speak to it, if you wish. Many who are more attuned to the natural world will feel something different about the Sun as they walk around outside. It will beam forth higher vibrational particles of light designed to "light you up" and to make it so you cannot hide from yourself anymore, so you can no longer bury or deny who you are within. Who you are must come out. What you came here to do must be fulfilled. The New Light from the Sun will be a wonderful and extraordinary experience to some, while disconcerting for those who still want to control and deny their feelings and inner promptings. Those who welcome the New Light and New Energy will feel as though they are waking up in the morning for the first time, opening their eyes for the first time and feeling wonderfully alive and ready to truly live! The Sun Being will support you in the fulfillment of your grand purpose, as will your guides and masters, as will Mother Earth and the Tree People.

In the year to come, more of the humans will find it in their hearts to connect with us. You will sit on the ground above our roots and at our trunks to meditate or simply to be with us. Or perhaps you will lie on your back and look up at our green branches. Some will go even further and peer into our spirits. They will see a resplendent being beyond the physical form, a shimmering light. And what is this shimmering light? It is the soul of the tree, its eternal spirit. Some of you will observe a very thin line connecting your human body with this shimmering essence and recognize immediately the grand connection between you and the trees. With great anticipation, We, the Trees, are looking forward to this new understanding and connection with you in 2017. A doorway is opening!

In 2017, some of you will say, "What is happening here? Why am I being called to a different geographical area? Why is this far away place calling to me? Should I go? Perhaps I should investigate!" In the coming cycle of time, if you haven't already, you will feel more of a stirring within your heart than ever before. If you are feeling called to the mountains, the ocean, the forest or desert-- you must go because Love is calling you there. Whatever Love is urging you to do, you will be shown the way. Do not force anything, however. Let the journey take you in its right time.

We, the Tree Beings, are seeing a greater and higher Light and expansion of Love on the planet for 2017. You will not be told about this through your technology. You must go to Nature and into the Great Silence to feel this for yourself. You will love what your inner being is telling you!

My Favorite Trees for Meditation

Hemlock tree on the Cedar River, Adirondack Mts.

HEMLOCK -- Extremely wise and spiritually evolved trees with very high cosmic consciousness energy that feels so uplifting. In the presence of Hemlock I always feel like I'm in a different world.

SPRUCE -- A great conduit for cosmic consciousness energy. They have a light, loving, and happy energy and they want to help you with healing issues. You will probably feel inspired and lifted up like I do. I am immediately drawn to Spruce and they are my favorite trees to paint.

OAK -- Deeply rooted and grounded, great wisdom and healing energy; a very solid tree with masculine energy. Holds great spiritual strength and vast knowledge of the planet.

Red Maple, Birch, Spruce

WHITE BIRCH -- I am immediately drawn to this tree; it has helped me to be clear, and a great tree for channeling and contacting my Higher Self. Has high, light, feminine energy.

PINE -- A very strong tree both physically and spiritually, but feels like a gentle giant. It is comfortable to be with and lifts me up right away into a higher vibration. It is the bearer of so much wisdom and healing energy.

COTTONWOOD -- A good tree for accessing the knowledge held within the Earth. The spirit of this tree likes to dance in the sunlight and come out of its body at night and play. A good tree to just close your eyes and be with on a warm summer's day.

RED MAPLE -- Likes to light up the sky with its joy and bright fall colors. A good tree for getting visions and generally feeling uplifted.

APPLE -- This tree is so happy to see people and wants you to sit with it. It sings a very high, joyous tune. It loves attention and calls you to come over. Wants to share its fruit and its shade. It will help you be inspired!
