In all chaos there is a cosmos,in all disorder a secret order. (Carl Jung)

I am drawing upon this expression today as one of my deepest, most life transforming connections with nature.

I was under this luminous light of the sun cutting its edgy path through a tree which required some tending and loving awareness. As I was drawn to this special tree and was invited in to place my palm on the trunk, with extreme care I was following the rhythms, hearing a voice: The way we touch ourselves is the way we associate with life. I intuitively acknowledged the invitation sensing the energetic mystical cord around the trunk of the tree and myself in the moment of a friendly spacious exchange of energies. I closed my eyes maintaining a gentle focus as I wasn’t looking for anything yet everything was appearing before me. The initial contact was chaotic and disorientating ,emptying and dull. I kept accepting & thanking it. I could sense the fluidity in nature, while reading the underlying vitality of the tree. The health beneath that arid soil started opening up to my energy field while co-regulating with my nervous system. Was it I or the tree or our energies in a unique dimension of blended affinity. A familiar friendly dimension of unity.

It seemed like a pattern to me as to how when we aren’t watered enough and ignore tending to our own inner garden of gifts and magic. We start to disassociate, and this notion of emptiness and fruitlessness experienced is, In fact a realization of an immense life form running through the roots under the base of the tree, a reflective reminiscent process at the base of my spine (root chakra awakening). Connecting with the very quality of looking in rather outside for some validation of a sort was the biggest support to balance my energies with the kindred tree spirit. The more I felt held, balanced and in tandem with my innermost core (source consciousness) the better the tree and our connection felt.

Our energies merged slowly and played together as I reckoned shifts and alignments. I feel I shifted amidst all the drama and fatigue of the day. It reflected back the sameness, affinity and joyousness soaked in by the main tree body. The suppleness and nourishing awareness just by simply acknowledging the reality of the emotions present. The compassionate curiosity of getting attuned with my own self, confessing the patterns rather than battling or repressing them is such a powerful learning here. It is an extension of how we feel mostly within ourselves creates our outer reality. Beginning as a novice sapling longing to belong and urging to be cared for. The tree’s magnetic field began swaying and gravitating towards the source of life rather than barrenness of soil.

What we see as chaos at first is a gift of love and healing and in that healing is wisdom to repair ourselves. Like watering our own conscious garden of abilities.The more this inner cleanliness expands the more we start to feel rooted into the roots of happiness and alignment.
