Make a Healing Tree Essence
3 comments

By Annie B. Bond

The ancient Druids knew that trees were deeply sacred. Today, many people believe that the energy fields of trees hold healing possibilities for us, and that they are an exciting mystery still to be explored.

There are nine trees believed to provide spiritual healing and well-being. Find out what they are, and learn how to make a tree essence without harming the tree. It’s all here.

The trees which have qualities essential for health and well-being are:

Birch
Beech
Fir
Pine
Hawthorn
Wild rose
Box
Walnut
Broom

Tree essences help us to develop self-esteem, help to free us from the past, increase motivation, and allow us to see with more clarity.

To Make a Tree Essence:
Without cutting or removing any part of the tree, soak parts of the tree in an oil-and-water emulsion. The oil then may be rubbed into the skin, especially on a chakra.

I have actually seen a tree spirit high in an evergreen. It emanated itself to me as a human face that was large and kind. I shall never forget that. I was not on drugs or drinking spirits either. I was rather sad tho.

The old Druids believed as a part of the consciousness of the old Celts that nature was inspirted and with this all beings on this planet had blessing (healing) qualities. The Ogham ( ancient tree alphabet of the druids ) can give us more insight of this subject.
Healing can occur through many practises even simply sitting under a tree in communication with the tree.
The list above does exclude lots of trees that can be used for healing in a physical form with essences.

LIke the
apple
alder
oak
black thorn
ect..
Many modern Druids believe that the method with simply putting a flower , ect in spring water and expose it to the sun ( like bachflower rescue remedy ) is a very druidic way of making an essence.It goes without saying that at first a contact is made to the tree and to ask for permission as well as being thankful to the tree.

Interesting. I was wondering about elm, but I have heard others believe that is not one of the healers. I get along well with Birch and Beech. Thank you
