The Magic and Majesty of Evergreens
All trees – including both evergreen and deciduous trees – are vital components of the ecology. As wise beings of highly elevated consciousness, trees contribute amazing healing properties. They contribute vastly to our health and to the health and healing of our beautiful planet in many ways, including:
- cleaning our air and providing oxygen
- providing natural filtration and storage systems that help clean our water
- helping contribute to controlling erosion and participating in flood control
- harmonizing the temperature through providing shade and functioning as wind-breaks
- sequestering carbon
- providing wildlife habitat and supporting biodiversity
- releasing beneficial compounds that benefit our immune systems
- increasing property values
- and many more!
“If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.” – Hal Borland
And while all trees are special, evergreen trees – including pine, spruce, cedar, cypress, yew, fir, arborvitae and others – are extra-special. Evergreens maintain their greenery year-round, offering us the dual-respiratory benefits of contributing vital oxygen, as well as healing our air continuously.
Evergreens also offer us additional healing benefits. One is that they display their natural green colors year-round. Natural colors carry healing frequencies, and green is a color of balance, equilibrium, harmony, and integration. Green can also support abundance, regeneration, restoration, and revitalization. Just viewing natural green colors, such as in Nature or in our house plants, can confer benefits. Green can also remind us to honor our physical body as well as our sacred nature and spiritual aspects, integrating them cooperatively to move into higher consciousness and deeper into altruistic states.
Evergreens also, just by being in their presence, can raise our vibrational frequency to higher-dimensional levels. This occurs naturally when we are in Nature and around trees, with an extra-boost in the presence of evergreen trees.
Several trees have unique and special connections with humanity, including pines and yews. Pine trees especially, seem to resonate most-closely with helping humanity ascend. And yew trees offer a supportive, angelic resonance that embraces us in an energy that allows us the space to see within: to see and to discover what we each need to know in order to evolve and to move forward, and to choose our highest path.
And delightfully, as we are recognizing the incredible value of living trees and evergreens, many people are decorating evergreen trees in situ – that is, decorating living trees outside for the Holidays. Others are taking cuttings* of their live trees for planting at a later date and/ or offering the rooted, young trees as gifts to others. Every tree can contribute to the healing and greater good of All. *[There are videos online of taking evergreen cuttings if you are interested.]
