Trees provide us with the healing benefits of the negative ions they give off. And equally so, they offer us the energy of Wood, according to traditional Chinese medicine. Trees are relevant for the Spring energetic season because Wood is the element of energetic Spring.

When you feel the tree’s energy of Wood flow, allow your own energy flow to synchronize and connect to the tree’s energy stream. This is tree chi gong practice.
Read about the ringing cedars of Russia in the Ringing Cedars series of books by Vladimir Megré. Ringing cedars are more than 500-year old Siberian cedar trees (also called Siberian pine, Pinus sibirica) that over their lifetime accumulate so much energy of Wood they start emitting a vibrating ringing sound. It’s believed these trees or pieces of their wood may produce a beneficial influence on human health and consciousness. Megré asserts through direct personal experience that the energy of wood of the ringing cedars has powerful healing properties and is capable of curing any disease of the flesh.
“Trees do emit a wide range of audible sounds apart from the rustling of their leaves, and you do not have to travel to Siberia or seek out some extraordinary specimens to hear that! Note that the sound Megré describes as ‘ringing’ is actually not a ringing of a bell or your cell phone, but rather a crackling sound similar to that of high-voltage power transmission lines. Such sounds are entirely within the range of trees’ natural capabilities…both the structure of trees (from their DNA to leaves or needles, branches and roots, and to the crown as a whole), and the materials they are composed from (be it sap, resin, wood, or waxy coating of needles) betray natural wave-receptors and energy accumulators.” –Dr. Leonid Sharshkin, Secrets of Cedar Products

Do trees have energy? Most definitely, yes.
And they maintain an inner spiritual structure called the djed(1), the tree of knowledge.
It’s this inner tree in all trees that we spiritually share with them when we embrace them.
As Celtic tradition teaches, each tree species embodies its own knowledge. We can tune in to tree wisdom and converse with it. Our tree teachers are available to us all. We only have to sit with a tree and listen.
