Listening to the song of the world that the trees hear.
Find a tree where you can rest comfortably for a while. The size is not important, though a large, mature tree is a little better to start with.
Settle down as close as you can get so that it is possible to relax comfortably. If you feel secure enough then close your eyes, if not relax your gaze and keep a relaxed focus at a comfortable distance.
Begin to relax your body and your breath. If you know the Tree Breath for that species you can begin with a few minutes of practice.
As your breath settles, place your awareness, not in your mind with its thoughts, but at your ears. Whenever your attention drifts inwards to listen to thoughts, send it out again to find focus upon your ears.
Relax your listening, hearing all the sounds around you all at once. (We habitually turn our attention between identifying one sound and then another.)
Now keep your awareness in your ears, simply allowing the one sound of the world to pass into your senses with all the different frequencies and silences knitted together.
Hold in your hearing all sounds, both nearby, inside your body and mind, and those that you hear from the far distance. It takes practice to relax enough to allow all sound to be perceived simultaneously, but this relaxed openness with alert awareness is the open quality of tree consciousness. It helps us to blend with the world and to begin to flow into greater awareness.

My new favorite tree is the white horse chestnut. Like the beech it gives me a very relaxed feeling, but even more than the beech it makes me feel safe under its stunning full canopy. i feel it is sheltering me, protecting me and its beautiful blossoms are exquisite It truly is a beauty, like me. I connected with the trees a long time ago as a toddler at my lake house but then was abused and have only been able to receive that loving feeling in the water through swimming i feel the water’s love embracing and relaxing me. the seacoasts are my favourite place.
Today i sat in a park on the Black Sea Coast and noticed this beautiful welcoming tree in front of me. The funny thing is i used to collect chestnuts in New York as a little girl and last week i passed through the park on the other side and found a chestnut so i picked it up, not noticing the tree on the other side, there wasn`t a tree directly overhead, and i wondered where it came from. In college i wrote a symbolic paper on ny life calked The Chestnut Goddess and last night i fell asleep holding the chestnut.
Today i was beckined to the park-normally i sit right by the water but i chose to sit in the lovely park because two peaceful trees caught my attention.
I sat for a while and then noticed that the trees were so beautiful and full that their canopies were gorgeous and their flowers equally exquisite. Now that i replay the events of the past week or so, i feel like this tree is speaking to me-not auditory but in a feeling way. I haven’t felt that way outside of water since i was five.
I am really grateful. I had a lot of trauma in my life but this is a time of great healing for me. Finally i realize that i was not to blame and a good little girl and beautiful. It took a very long time nit long compared to others who suffered the same but i went through a tremendous amount of pain to escape the narcissistic personality disordered Liar and get the Truth.
Can you tell me how to connect more deeply to this tree.? How to communicate with it?
Tomorrow i am going to put my hands on its trunk;it is so beautiful. I really love this tree.
Just carry on being within the presence of the tree. No need for anything special. Be quiet and friendly. That will be enough to deepen your connection. See where it leads. Best wishes.
I can’t wait to try this one!
