The ritual, preparation and cycle of life celebration for summer.
Give yourselves several hours by yourself for this ritual. You will need to choose a tree that you will connect with, and find a natural cord or rope that is long enough to tie around yourself and the tree (a woven sash or belt is ideal).
Greet the tree and make an offering to it (you can use a pinch of cornmeal or tobacco, smudge, or a strand of your hair), requesting permission to connect with its essence. Find your place to sit, then tie the cord around your waist and tie the other end around the tree, and sit comfortably on the ground. Feel yourself weaving the energetic strands of connection with the tree, and as you sit, move forward and backwards, feeling the tightening and loosening of the cord as if you are weaving. Allow the dance of giving thanks to the Tree to flow through you. Learn to be sensitive to acknowledge the energy field of the tree and you will enter its magnetic bubble. Now you are inside the house of the tree, this is why we ask permission to enter and request why you are there.
Breathe in and feel the cord tighten, breathe out and let it relax. When you breathe in, the tree is exhaling. Our breath out is the breath in for the tree. This is a way of making love. Do this for several hours in meditation and calmness. Listen for the tree’s song, for the invisible sounds. You are reconnecting with the Tree of Life. Awaken the connection that is hidden from most humans now. You may be gifted by entering a collective consciousness.
When you are complete, thank the tree and untie yourself. Journal about your experience and capture any messages you received or insights that came.
