"UNDER THE TREES, WITH THE TREES ON EARTH, LIVING IN NATURE, SITTING IN NATURE, AND ENJOYING ITS BEAUTY, GROUNDED WITH ALL OF EARTH: WHO WOULD YOU BE?" -- Grandmother
-----
Perhaps healthier, happier life is as close as the nearest tree...
I discovered yesterday that Grandmother had found, with this thought exercise, an "impossible thing" to do...that shouldn't be impossible at all!! That could make us all healthier and happier and that we have been able to do for hundreds of thousands of years...
Could it be that we could begin to heal just helping ourselves and others be able to do this: Sit in Nature with the Trees...?
I did it...sitting in nature by trees in the yard. I meditated. I was just "with the trees." I could feel Grandmother's message wafting in the atmosphere, with promise and the potential of new creativity on Earth... We can heal and think again about our beautiful planet, sitting with the trees and asking...
Who are you?
I felt great all of a sudden. Yowza. Try it. Below: "Grandmother on If You Sit in Nature with the Trees, Who Would You Be? Your Larger Nature and Identity: A Meditaiton Exercise." Audio and Transcript and more below.

"Grandmother on If You Sit in Nature with the Trees, Who Would You Be? Your Larger Nature and Identity: A Meditation Exercise"
GRANDMOTHER:
If you were in a natural setting, sitting on the ground, admiring the trees, doing nothing, sitting on the ground enjoying the grass, enjoying the leaves, enjoying the trees, being the natural self, the natural higher self: Who Would You Be?
If you were in a natural setting, sitting on the ground, admiring the trees, doing nothing, sitting on the ground enjoying the grass, enjoying the leaves, enjoying the trees, being the natural self, the natural higher self: Who Would You Be?
In a natural setting, no address, no identifiers, no identity, nothing with you to identify you. Just you. Who Would You Be?
This is a meditation exercise. It is a short exercise for expanding the sense of being, with a blank slate.
Sit under a tree. Sit in nature. No one else around. No identifiers. It is important in this case to leave your identifiers behind. Sit and be... Sit and see...
Under the trees, with the trees on Earth, living in nature, sitting in nature, and enjoying its beauty, grounded with all of Earth: Who Would You Be?
Under the trees, with the trees on Earth, living in nature, sitting in nature, and enjoying its beauty, grounded with all of Earth: Who Would You Be?
This "resting of the being" at a time when all of your reality is focused on "identifying" you, wherever you are...identifiers, data about "you" of every kind -- then it is harder to see "who you are..." and to understand your extraordinary, stellar, irresistible, magnanimous being...
It is an unusual "off the grid" exercise for you, but you will find, if you lean against a tree and begin to "be" with the trees, see them as beings and feel their "beingness," their own networks of massive interconnected roots under the ground -- you will see that there is a larger nature of Earth and that you have your own larger nature...and that there is no technology, and no chip, and no circumstance in matter-form which can alter your larger presence in the way that you think. It is marvelous to sit in the trees, be with the trees, leave your identifiers behind, and meditate upon this question: Who Would You Be in the Trees?
You will learn a great deal. And you will feel a great deal every time you do this.
Sending you great love in the trees...I am Grandmother from Another Planet.

(We are not separate from nature. And when we find our way back to being with trees, we may find our way back to more natural health...
It is wonderful to do this -- or just meditate on doing this as a thought experiment -- and you can do it safely, sitting in trees in your back yard or even patio or the back yard of a friend... Or put a small potted little tree on your porch or patio to be with a tree!
You can quickly see that enormous stress can be released...deep relaxation can come...even happiness! -- that happened for me sitting in the yard with trees. Or be with your dog or cat with trees. Be conscious and thoughtful and creative. You can find a wonderful very safe way to be with trees for a few minutes at home or at a friend’s home, and discover who you are, the larger identity, the higher self...
Can we help each other do this? We’ve been able to sit and be with trees for hundreds of thousands of years! This message from Grandmother is in a way, a thought exercise -- to nudge us to do this again... To assure everyone can do this on Earth, for health and spirit... Sit and be with trees?
Perhaps a key to healing on the planet is to find a way to help every person be able to sit and be with trees again in fresh air, easily and safely, in a wonderful healing way at every age, in every culture…
Perhaps each of us in our natural state is as able to heal planets and lands as trees are...)

QUOTES

“The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn” ―
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ―
“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” --
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” ―
“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity” ―
“The Peace of Wild Things"
"When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”

“All our wisdom is stored in the trees.” ―
