The people who crested the Findhorn Garden in northern Scotland did so by consulting the spirit of each plant to find the best way to care for it. The idea of this spell is to become one with the spirit of the trees and the earth and to discover our sacred and empowering connection.
You will need a tree with which you can sit down and do this meditation, plus your imagination :-)
Begin by putting both of your palms on the trunk of the tree, and imagine it basic spirit. Imagine its root growing deep within the ground, and then see its trunk and limbs, its leaves, and the tree in its entirety. As you do this, repeat over and over:
I am the tree,
The tree is me,
And together,
We live forever,
As one.
Visualize yourself connecting with the essence and spirit of the tree you are touching as well as all trees--beings who have existed considerably longer than humans on the Earth. Your roots are your ancestors, your trunk is your life's foundation, and your branches are your many aspects. Your leaves are like your thoughts, which act as receptors of light, turning it into renewed growth toward the divine source.
This spell is a great blessing to do for a beginner of Shaman training as well. It teaches you the beginning stages of meditation.
Blessed be!
