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.
