I am adept in meditation practices. I can enter into higher states of awareness easily and quickly. I did not waste any time in sending my energy to the sick tree. I remember the experience quite well since the energy moved so strongly from my body to the tree that I was weakened by the experience.
A few months later, I happened to be travelling in the area and I decided to see the tree. The branches and leaves of the tree were green and healthy looking. Formerly they were dying and I was told that fruit appeared for the first time in seven years.
This experience taught me that trees are living things with which you can communicate. Compared to a tree, human beings merely occupy nature and live off its elements and vegetation. We are mostly alienated from nature. But a tree is rooted in the Earth and it is not a passive thing as we imagine.
If you are centered on the divine energy of consciousness, you can heal trees, other people, animals, and society as a whole. If you meditate daily, think good and caring thoughts, and act with kindness towards others, then the whole world would become more peaceful and spiritual. In this way, human beings can begin to feel at one with nature the way that trees do.
