The Tao of Trees
The Tao of Trees is a healing journey through the poems and naked bodies of the winter trees to find serenity and awaken your inner wisdom.
- Open your eyes and heart to the beauty and healing presence of trees all around you, reconnecting to the magic of the Natural and Sacred Worlds.
- Fill your subtle body with harmony vibrations that empower your wellness and augment your self-healing intention.
- Feel the love of Pachamama embracing you from the branches of trees and the flight of birds.
- Slow down, empty your mind and return to the present and the powerful vibrations of the Presence of nature around and within you.
- Look within with loving kindness to release judgment, embrace your divinity and accept yourself unconditionally as a creature of Earth Mother.
This poetry book creates a space I call "Sky mind" where your mind empties of worries and connects to the Natural and Sacred World. These poems pull you into the healing presence of trees. Hear the whispers of the "Poet-trees" as they reveal the path to presence, beauty and co-creation and counsel you on the Path of the Heart, the Paths to Freedom and Transformation and the Path of Healing.
The black and white illustrations communicate the magical presence and embodied messages of trees as I experienced them during my healing process.

Reconnecting with the Spirit of Trees
In our busy urban life, we are taxing our immune system with stress.
Trees help us slow down... True...
But how do we reconnect with trees when we can't go outdoors?
I discovered that at the core of our separation from the natural world lies a disconnection from our beautiful Sacred Self. When we connect to our BodySoul and feel the divine in us, we experience Oneness and know in our bones that we are part of the Natural and Sacred World. We feel the Spirit of Trees and Pachamama within us.
I discover this through loss. Like you and everyone else, I was too busy to look up at the sky and see the many birds dancing above. Having grown up in an urban setting, my first thought upon seeing trees was the fear that a thief would be lurking among them! It's fair to say that I was disconnected from nature.
In 2000 I lost my home due to a home environmental situation and found myself homeless and sick. Trees helped me heal and embrace life again after the disaster. In my healing process, I meditated with the trees. As I slowed down, I realized how exhausted I was. I had overworked and over-worried for so long that I had no reserve energy to face crisis. My immune system was weak. I suffered allergies from the home disaster. Yet, meditating with the trees brought me back to a place of serenity in my soul. It infused my breath with healing substance. It scraped away worry and fear and cleared my mind to appreciate what was truly important in life. Though time slowed down, my energy level rose and I regained my strength.
But the trees did more than help me heal! They reconnected me with the wisdom in my heart and the poetry in my soul. These "Poet-trees" --as I lovingly call them-- whispered poems and wisdom teachings that re-framed my entire life. But there was an extra gift! This healing process produced a beautiful illustrated poetry book.
I've written the poetry book The Tao of Trees to share the story of my healing and to reveal the poems that the "Poet-trees" share with me during my convalescence. Through this book I am now giving back to the trees that helped me heal."
