    Tree Hugging Now Scientifically Validated – Part 2

    Die hard conservatives love to disparage liberals as tree huggers, but it has been recently scientifically validated that hugging trees is actually good for you. Research has shown that you don’t even have to touch a tree to get better, you just need to be within its vicinity has a beneficial effect.

    When Hugo and I practised Qigong with Jack Lim, one of the practices was to stand in front of a large old tree with our arms spread out as you would welcome someone. We started at a distance and moved forward until we came within the tree’s energy field when our hands would tingle and we could feel the energy pulsating out. Jack said the best trees to practice with were pine trees. We also followed this same practice when at the beach and faced the waves – the energy is stupendous.

    There is also another school of thought in alignment with this remarkable theory: Taoism. For example, the Taoist master Mantak Chia teaches students to meditate with trees, as a way of release “negative energies.” In his Cosmic Tree Healing Qigong method, Master Chia teaches how to align one’s body with the “aura” (or energetic field) of a tree. He explains that trees are natural processors that can help you transform your body’s sick or negative energy into positive, vital life force energy. As you connect your energy with the tree you facilitate your own physical and emotional healing. The Taoist theory is that because trees stand very still, they are better at absorbing the Earth’s Energy and the Universal Force from the Heavens. Trees and all plants have the ability to absorb the light frequencies and transform them into physical food; and they do the same with energetic food. The Taoist view of trees is to see them constantly in meditation, with subtle energy as their natural language.

    And finally here’s something to really challenge your mind: singing trees. There is a fascinating laboratory that studies plant vibrational energies which is Damanhur, an intentional community in Italy. In this peaceful and spiritual ecovillage there is a laboratory in the woods that offers a beautiful choir of singing trees. Yes, you read that right… singing trees. Since 1976, researchers at Damanhur have invented and developed equipment that can capture electromagnetic changes on the surface of leaves and roots, transforming them into actual sounds. The best part is, these trees seem to control their electrical responses via a feedback mechanism, and demonstrate a kind of awareness and preference for types of music. The singing plants and trees of Damanhur have sparked off such a worldwide fascination that the people began organizing “Plant Concerts”, where musicians perform to the music created by the trees.

    To watch a 15-minute video of a beautiful demonstration singing plants while one of Damanhur’s researchers explain the phenomenon click the link below.
