Do you know your tree?
Have you ever perceived trees as tall antennae that, from the earth to the sky, keep this planet connected to the entire universe through a powerful, subtle network? They are ancient creatures, a Mother World to discover.
We are immersed in Summer Solstice. It is the culmination of a cycle that involves all living beings on the planet, including the world of trees.
In these days, let your mind quiet down. Take some time away from the noise of everyday life. Go and find a tree and get into contact with it. In that moment you can feel the slow beating of its heart. That is when a door opens. The open door is that of the heart: your heart and the tree’s, united with those of all other beings connected to the spiritual network that envelops the planet through the trees. If you breathe, slowly and deeply, you can lose the sense of solid boundaries around your body, feeling the joy that flows with the lymph in the body of the tree, this being so different from you, and yet so near.
In Damanhur each one of us chooses a tree and establishes a connection. In the Sacred Woods Temple the trees that are connected to humans in this way have a sign for us to be able to recognize them. It is a thin cord rope that indicates this kind of link between different beings.
Walking in the Sacred Woods Temple and observing how many trees have these cords around their trunks, it’s exciting! It offers us hope for a bright future. Listen to the song of the trees and discover how much these extraordinary creatures can transmit to us…
