Tree Spirit Healing

I have been working with trees, tree energies, tree spirits, tree healing for a good many years now. It began with the creation and collection of a range of Tree Essences from British trees in the early 1990s – a time when several other people were also starting to work in a more subtle way with tree energies. Flower essences made from trees were a convenient way to explore the potential of different species. They developed into Green Man Tree Essences, with well over 100 tree energies represented. These are still an important part of my work, and are used  by many to aid their healing and spiritual growth. Alongside using essences other techniques came along. These have grown and developed over the years, and I hope in this blog to share them with you.

My inspiration does not derive from any one tradition or teaching. I prefer to get the silent teaching direct from their source, the trees themselves. These are inevitably filtered through my limited understanding and language skills, as teachings always are –  though my background knowledge in the arts, shamanism and Himalayan spiritual traditions flavours my approach. Many of the core techniques and processes have been given in lectures and workshops over the last twenty years, and one or two keen students have gone on to make Tree Spirit Healing a major part of their own work. However, I feel it is time to give a more general encouragement to those interested in the potential of working with trees (which is truly vast), hence the tentative birth of this blog…….
