Hug a Tree

Every living thing on the planet has a certain quality of life that we can reach out and touch. Others forms of life can touch us as well, when we are receptive to the idea and the process.

Many studies have been done investigating the vibration level of plants. In The Secret Life of Plants we learn that all plants "feel" differently toward different people and events. A plant that fears harm sends out a distress signal that is picked up on a vibration level by other plants in the area. A happy plant will grow stronger and more rapidly. Plants like certain kinds of music.



It is hard for us, as humans, to feel the vibration levels of plants without equipment to do so. There is one major exception. Hugging a tree will get you in touch with one of the deepest and strongest life vibrations known to the plant kingdom.

Pick a tree in the park, or your own backyard, that looks huggable. Notice which side of the tree is warm to the touch, which is cool to the touch. Wrap your arms around the tree, and hold it in a firm embrace. Rest your cheek on the bark. Put your ear to the trunk and listen. What do you hear? Move your awareness to the area of your heart. What connection do you feel, if any? Take your time! Move to the other side of the tree and hug it again. Try other tress.

Pick a tree to make friends with and visit your friend often. It will keep you feeling that the plant world and our world are really a part of one big whole.

Small Redecorating Tips

Major redecorating can be overwhelming, so try subtle changes that can transform the whole look!

* Showcase Nature
Use elements like old branches or flower displays throughout your home, whether in vases, over doorway or twisted in chandeliers. Fill glass jars with seashells and smooth stones, or stack fresh fruits in a wooden bowl as a table centrepiece.

* Turn Old Into New
All you need is some paint and imagination to turn old bookcases and TV armories into new furniture pieces. If your build-in bookcases are dated, review them with a coat of paint, new doors and handles. Or use fabric or wallpaper to add a pop of colour to the back panels of a bookcase.

* Make a Difference
Bamboo furniture, willow baskets, woven rugs, wooden shades and linen fabrics not only add amazing style to a home, they are also sustainable, biodegradable products. When redoing a room, ask yourself what accents you can add that won't harm our planet.


* D.I.Y. Laminate Flooring
Laminate Flooring is a relatively new and innovative product, well suited for home owners and do-it-yourself (D.I.Y.) individuals who are looking for a weekend project. No fuss, No hidden cost, No paying something you don't need. Or, you can employ someone who supplies the laminate flooring to do the installing.
