hug a tree

We have all heard of "treehuggers", but have any of you actually gone outside and hugged a tree, go wrap your arms around one and embrace it like a friend. It can be an amazing experience, especially with a head full.

Objects appeared to gain inrelief; they assumed unusual dimensions; and colors became more glowing. Even self-perception and the sense of time were changed. When the eyes were closed, colored pictures flashed past in a quickly changing kaleidoscope. After a few hours, the not unpleasant inebriation, which had been experienced whilst I was fully conscious, disappeared. what had caused this condition? - - Albert Hofmann - - Laboratory Notes (1943)

it's definitely humbling, cause once you wrap your arms around it you can't really deny it as a living presence anymore; hugging a tree is like confronting nature and much safer then hugging a bear.

My first great mystical, spiritual epiphony using mushrooms was when I hugged a tree. They are truly one of natures finest works of art.
Peacefulness.

i need to go tree-hugging with some hippies sometime soon.
or maybe just go out and hug them on my own and get strange glances from everyone... who knows.
i really do bet it would help fix your energy some and bring you in alignment with nature. it would also be nice, kind of like giving yourself a hug and accepting your vital link to mother natures green things.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

Me too. Highly recommended. Sometimes I talk to them, and just stroke their leaves. Heheh, they like it. It's like they are slumbering good peaceful and deep vibrations.

Trees are the greatest sight of nature.
They are like fractals - the trunk branching out into branches that spread out into smaller branches, then twigs, smaller and smaller ... and yet the smallest twig can be cut off and replanted to make a tree all over again. Just like a fractal, the smallest piece being the replica of the root.
I go running in a forest nearby every day, and stop about halfway the path by my personal place of power, which is between this big Oak, and a smaller tree. Sometimes I grab the branches of the Oak, and gain wisdom, and when I hold the branches of the smaller tree, I feel rejuvinated, revitalized and refreshed. Nature is overwhelming.
