Beech Elder
Dendrotherapy is the art of healing with the energy of trees.Many cultures in the world practise this,but in the Western world it got bad press as hippy treehugging nonsense.
Now I'm definitely for hugging people,given the choice.However,as a way to transform and boost energy in a natural way,and to heal from many ills of the modern world,trees are definitely one of my go- to remedies.And we're not talking hugging here,because some of them are gigantic elders of the tree community,and you couldn't possibly put your arms around them!There is good reason why they are known as Standing People in some indigenous cultures.
Not all trees are healing trees and you have to discern that,and know your choices.The one in the photo above is an ancient beech.To gain perspective,the indentation you can see just to the right of centre,a third of the way up the base of the trunk,is where I can sit comfortably with my feet on the ground!
Beech is definitely a healer,and if you know anything about Bach Flower Essences, you'll know that beech transforms the habit of criticism and intolerance.When I'm under the canopy of this mighty being,it's reminding me not just to tolerate, but to praise,appreciate,be thankful for the countless blessings in life.
Trees are the lungs of our planet
