Trees bring the four elements together, with their roots deep in the earth, water and sap going up the trunk, the shade their leaves provide while absorbing sunlight that they turn into food, absorbing carbon and giving back oxygen.
But have you noticed how your emotions change when you walk past certain trees? Reconnecting with Nature starts with slowing down and staying open to whatever comes, observing what is, without judgement or analysis.
Make the most of the summer by sitting under a tree. Observe, listen, feel for a while, and try different trees on different days to see how each one makes you feel. Keep a record of your observations so that next time you need a boost of a particular kind, you know which tree to visit.
Trees can be powerful mood shifters, medicine on our doorsteps.
