Find a tree you admire on your land, in your backyard, or at a nearby park.
Stand on the earth next to this tree, barefoot if possible. Gaze at the tree and sniff the air. Try to sense the misty, nutrient-dense waters that evaporate from this tree being. Although you may not see moisture, you can imagine its release.
Breathe in the rich vapors that flow from the tree like a fountain.
Then breathe out sustaining energy to the tree.
As you continue to "tree-breathe," attune to this tree's essence. Feel its spirit. Telepathically, or speaking aloud, thank this nature being for its beauty and for everything it offers. Importantly, feel your gratitude. Just as its invisible waters and oxygen nourish you, the love you release with each exhale is food for the tree; appreciation is a nourishing force.
This is a good time to commit to do what you can to promote healthy trees and air, with the tree as your witness.
