A short while ago, My wife, Judy, called me at work to tell me that I needed to talk to one of the five big pine trees in our backyard. I was surprised because talking to trees is easy enough; we have both done this before. We have some shamanic background; and we both channel the Ascended Masters.
The particular pine that wanted to speak with us is not the first tree in our backyard to express itself. We have a “May Tree” that calls itself a “healing tree”. But, its version of ‘healing’ may not be what one would expect. The landscapers that worked on our yard well before we arrived had split the trunk of the May Tree so that it grew with four main trunks, rather that one primary trunk. At the time I spoke to it, disease had been invading its limbs. Both the tree and the nature spirits helped me to prune the dead and diseased branches. Several branches had been removed at some point thus leaving scars. The reason the May Tree called itself a ‘healing’ tree, and in a tone of disappointed resignation, is that throughout its life, it had to undergo one form of healing or another―-split trunk, scars, disease, and more. The unfortunate May Tree had been on the mend since the very beginning of its life. It was always healing.
Another tree that not only speaks to us, but also works with us, is our Mountain Ash Tree. When we first conversed with it, it let us know that it was a “Rowan” tree, which is another name for Mountain Ash. Druid lore recognizes the Rowan tree for its healing ability. The Druids also made wands and staffs from the Rowan tree because of its magical powers. In harmony with the natural flow of events, Judy and I created what we call our “Angels’ Sanctuary” in the shade of the Rowan tree and the large pine next to it. Both Judy and I, as well as many of our lightworker friends, have sat in Angels’ Sanctuary to balance, to ground, and to experience the healing of our Rowan tree. It quite effectively removes a person’s negative energies and sends them into the higher planes where they transmute to light. Sitting in the shade and the embrace of our Rowan tree is always a moment of heavenly peace.
On the day that Judy assigned me to speak to the pine tree, she had been doing yard work, at which time the pine had said to her to pick up the pinecones. Because Judy was single-minded about her task, and because she was picking up a sense of the pine tree’s agitation, she was unable to receive any further directions as to what the tree wanted. Was the tree agitated because Judy did not understand its message, or was it agitated for some other reason?
Fortunately, it was not the dead of winter and the weather was beautiful. I set about my task by first lying on the ground under the pine tree. I slipped into a mild meditative state. I just direct my attention to the tree knowing that I will pick up the impressions it intends. The pine tree told me that it needed to be itself in a larger sense. It actually said that it wanted to ‘Rise Higher’. It offered the vision that it saw itself in our yard as its purpose on Earth. It indicated that it was at peace and in harmony with the pruning that I had done to keep it off the garden shed roof. It also said that it was at peace with the fact that our yard was groomed to the point that there was no more room for any other trees.
What pine tree meant when it expressed the need to expand was that, as a tree and as a living organism, its purpose on Earth was to extend its life beyond itself. It needed to procreate. It needed to have baby-trees―-hence, its first request to pick up the pinecones. The pine tree wanted us to gather the pinecones, take them to somewhere in the natural landscape, and spread its pinecones around. Indeed, the tree wanted to be itself as a parent.
We got it!
Within the next week, Judy gathered up the pinecones into a couple of shopping bags and took them to Fish Creek Provincial Park to cast them on the ground along the banks of Fish Creek, which is about a mile from our home. She told me afterward that, at the moment that she began to spread them around, she felt the tree sigh in relief. She said she sensed that the tree’s feeling of self-fulfillment displaced its agitation.
Our backyard trees have served us well in so many ways. We were both touched and grateful that we were able to serve one of them in this small and humbling way.
