ugh “complaining to the tree is also a way of getting energy out of the tree—to you. and healing you. so the tree is actually healing the complaint. you’re opening your heart. you’re just telling all your negativity and what bothers you in your life. and the tree is a silent listener. and everything is absorbed into the bark of the tree. and you feel rejuvenated. you feel happy after that.” This is VAMPIRISM and precisely why wise people say *stop doing that* but before and after hugging etc honor the trees, thank them for their presence and GIVE TO THEM bec they are much more *suffering* than humans, asking *what can I do to help your People?* – which is trees and all animals and plants – and then turn the response into action and become a better human being and GIVER once again connected to the living world instead of a broken twig, infested with ego demon that seeks rejuvenation.
Trees are people, as she explains, and like with HUMANS, you dont just go and complain, take their time and energy and LIFETIME, but you gift something in return.
