One moment here,
Or here,
An instant’s presence,
Or, maybe, fever.
Not choosing,
Nor discarding,
An equipoise of breath.
This moment,
Or this,
Weighed,
Released.
A point,
(Time or space),
Within which to expand,
Relax.
A skill,
Or no skill,
To continue
Regardless.
Existence,
Or non-existence,
Tasting the same-
A sharp flow.
Words
Or no words,
Insignificant attainment
Of the one song.

Tree Spirit Healing, like consciousness and like life itself, is essentially very simple.
It is the inter-relationships, the commentaries on their structures and nature, that often becomes complicated.
Silence is consciousness.
All thought, all language, is a commentary upon the nature of thst silence.
The paradox of Tree Spirit Healing is thus to acquire a state of stillness thriugh different types of activity.
The theoretical basis of these processes and explanations are pointless unless the healing is apparent and evident. So what do we mean by the term “healing” ? ……..
—————
Reminder
“If there is a tree or some other plant that seems to have no power or virtue, then you do not know that tree or plant well enough.
Trees of power, plants of power,
All creatures,
Are doorways to the unlimited power of the Universe.
All trees are trees of power.
All plants are plants of power.
Find the key-
Open the door.
Shadows, mirrors, reflections, memories:
every aspect is true,
But partial.
(Motherwort spirit)
____________
Wish of the Tree Spirit Healer
From the still hub,
The silent centre
Where fire and water,
Earth, air and ether
Are held in equipoise:
From the radiance of life
We call ‘tree’
I ask for the wisdom of speech
I ask for the wisdom of listening
I ask for the wisdom of understanding.
May the spirits who dwell
Within the forn,
May the spirits who flow
Through the form,
May the spirits who dwell
Behind and beyond the form
Of the radiance of life
We call ‘tree’,
Feed us
Sustain us
And walk with us
Until we have learnt
To feed,
Sustain and walk
By ourselves-
And then
May we play together
Forever
In the vast joy
Of this planet-mother,
Earth.

Tree of Voices
We all have the tools necessary for working with tree spirits.
The mind and the senses, the body and the emotions
have all evolved to be sensitive to the subtle impressions of other life communicating with us.
We simply have to rummage around in the bottom of our tool kit to find those specific tools that we have become unfamiliar with through cultural habits.
The spine, the eye, the fingertips, are all equally part of the mind.
Each message, chemical or electrical, is from one to the other and this flows out to our senses, our sense impressions, the world – where all messages electrical, chemical, sensual, web the whole of creation in one great exchange of information and interaction.
There is no end,
no beginning
to one’s awareness:
only the desire to dwell
on this or that.
