The Healing Energies of Trees, July 5, 2000
This review is from: Healing Energies of Trees (Paperback)
Author Patrice Bouchardon has created a unique Natural Paradigm in his book, The Healing Energies of Trees. The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs which relate to natural forest settings, and have been carefully selected to complement the text. Bouchardon considers trees as, "a vital part of the inheritance of Mankind." He stresses trees as architypal symbols of power, wisdom, fertility, and the essence of natural life itself. In our present information/communications society, there is a deep and urgent calling for us to re-connect with the peace, tranquility, and healing energies of the natural world. Within this context, the author discusses healing from a subtle-energy perspective. He provides a series of simple exercises and approaches for connecting with the natural energies of the Planet through meditations and consciousness interactions with certain species of trees, selected for their particular qualities and influences on enlightening the Human Consciousness.The book is particularly helpful in providing exercises and guidelines for expanding the intuitive senses and consciousness awareness, with the ultimate objectives of finding inspiration, inner peace, and healing. The author explains how he has developed his own system of extracting essential oils from the trees he has selected, and discusses the preparation and applications of these oils for healing and consciousness expansion. The book is thoughtfully indexed, and has a short, but well-chosen Resource List. The author expresses his feeling that the human race is at the threshold of an entirely new level of reality, and that conscious interaction with the Collective Intelligence of the Natural Environment is the mechanism that will effect this transformation.
