Choose a tree that feels right
Find a healthy tree in a quiet spot. Strong, rooted species such as oak, pine, or maple work well, but the most important factor is your personal connection.
Remove your shoes
Stand barefoot near the roots. Direct skin contact with soil, grass, or moss is what allows energy exchange.
Place your hands on the bark
Rest your palms gently against the tree. Some prefer hugging the tree, while others lightly touch it with both hands.
Breathe slowly and deeply
Inhale fresh air, expand your lungs, and exhale built-up stress. With each breath, let your body sink into calm.
Visualize the exchange
Imagine heavy energy leaving your body through your feet, flowing into the soil. At the same time, picture the tree sending you light, balanced energy through its trunk and into your heart.
Stay for 15–30 minutes
Allow enough time for your body and mind to sync with the natural rhythm. With practice, you may feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded.
