Tree Meditation
I walk through the forest almost daily, a meditative ritual. When I am fully aligned and centered with my soul, I can feel the energy of the trees. Sometimes, I stop to lay my hands on the bark, closing my eyes to focus on the sensation in my hands, visualizing the vibrations, hearing the hum of the tree singing to me. When I stand there, I can believe that the trees are all watching me, waiting to see if I can understand them like that girl in Narnia, but I can’t. Still, I know they are speaking to each other, and the birds, and the forest animals, and the wind. So I stand there, touching the bark, eyes closed, listening from my soul.
