In the world of trees, the turn into winter is the time when they complete sending their energies down into Mother Earth. Everything they've gathered and stored throughout the spring, summer and fall, including their experiences and interactions with humans and other animals, goes down an energetic taproot system where it begins the process of germinating the energies of the earth so they can rise again with the advent of spring.
Over my past year of apprenticeship with the trees, I've come to understand that this energetic exchange between the trees and the earth is really about consciousness. The trees share what they know with the earth, as much as they share heavier, more substantial, nourishing energies. Each tree uses this taproot connection to join the shared web of consciousness among all plants here on the planet, all plant consciousness that has ever been here on the planet, and in other dimensions. Talking with trees in the winter time can be quite trippy for this reason. You never know where a tree is going to tell you he's been.
In these last few days leading up to solstice, we have a wonderful opportunity to send our wishes, hopes, intentions and healing energies to the earth and the web of plant life via the energetic taproot. Communicating to one tree at this point in time allows you access.
If you're unsure of how to begin, leaving your energies or intentions in a physical form is a great idea. In addition to sending reiki healing energy to various trees, this time last year, I baked simple cookies with oats, flour, and cashew butter and left a few in some of my favourite trees for squirrels and birds to enjoy. It's amazing what a little gift, given freely and with love can do to add to good will and harmony.
