The Blessings of Trees
Trees are a very important part of Mother Nature. They are living beings, like animals and humans, and are worthy of continual love and care. Not only are trees of great value in themselves, but also to our planet - they are of immense healing value to all human/kind. Much time spent with many magical trees has taught me many things about life, healing and communication - this is akin to Tree Medicine. This knowledge and lived experience, has informed my healing practices involving trees. I work with trees in many ways;
i) Wassail - at the end of Winter I wassail certain trees (usually apples), in my own garden and locally.
ii) Tree Blessings (Gratitude) - I offer a Tree Blessing to trees which are destined for felling. This involves speaking/humming/singing with the tree prior to felling. Donations only.
iii) Tree Blessings (Healing) - I work 1-to-1 with people, if they seek help in finding special healing or wishing trees. Fee applies.
iv) Zoom/VSee - I will (in the future) hold mini tutorials/discussions about the many ways we can work with trees. We will look at Tree Medicine, conservation themes and the fae.
v) Meditation - I do offer 1-to-1 breathwork (see BODY page), Tree Breath. This can be online or in-person (local to SouthWest England). Fee applies.
My YouTube channel "Two For Joy Oracle" https://www.youtube.com/@twoforjoy123 also includes some tree and nature-related themes, this is a free channel.
