Sentience and Energy of Great TreesLarge old growth trees, according to Ken Carey and other mystics, develop sentience that is not present in younger trees. This perspective indicates that humans and nature can coexist and that the large old growth trees must be preserved as a parent or gardian consciousness of the forest. Trees, like all living things, channel energy. Qi Gong practitioners have techniques for interacting with the trees energy. I watched a Kung Fu master instruct his students in tapping into the energy of a 1000 year old tree. When they connected, they caught their breath, their eyes got big and they bolted and ran about a mile before stopping. Even without engaging a specific practice, like tree qi gong, you will feel an energy presence and an energy boost anytime we're around a forest. Larger trees carry more energy, making them a natural choice for places to do a spiritual retreat or vision quest. Try meditating in an old growth forest. Trees recycle waste. In the physical sense, they take carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen. In an energetic sense, they take toxic energy and refine it into non-toxic energy. There are healing and purification rituals that are based on interaction with trees, and large old growth trees are very powerful. Energetic interaction with trees requires that one recognize and respect them as fellow life forms. It also requires that one obtain permission from the tree to connect with it. It is a powerful experience and not to be attempted casually. As this website grows, a number of locations that contain old growth trees in natural settings will be described. This is for the benefit of those who want to simply see them and appreciate their existence, those who want to combine a spiritual experience with a nature experience, and those who want to protect them.
