Redwood/Sequoia Tree
*Nature-Speak/Ted Andrews
Keynote: Ancient protection and balance; pursue new visions.
The sequoia family of trees is home to some of the largest and oldest spirits upon the planet. This is reflected in throughout the family of redwoods. They are conifers of great size and age. The General Grant tree is more than 270 feet high and the Boole tree is 25 feet in diameter at a point about 15 feet up from the ground. They live in higher altitudes and the sequoias only grow in groves. These groves serve as a council of spirit, and there is a gentle but powerful sacredness to the groves. One cannot enter them without a stirring of our own sense of the sacred.
They have tremendous resistance to decay and even to fire. The sap of the sequoia contains tannic acid, which has a great healing capacity for the trees, as the tannin does for humans. This enables them to live longer, but because they are so long lived, they do not produce as many cones as other conifers. There is not that need to reproduce so extravagantly.
Redwoods are practically immune to termites and other pests. Their energy immediately helps put our own life pests into perspective. They strengthen and heal the aura so that we are less affected by the buzzing of the daily pests we encounter. They remind us to look at the bigger picture.
Redwoods live an extremely long time - 1500 or more years. They are ancient and they are direct descendants from the time of evolution known as Lemuria. Alignment with their essence can open one to understanding the evolutionary cycle of humanity. The redwood spirit helps the individual to put his or her life into an entirely new perspetive. Its essence awakens a clear insight into our own personal vision of life and what must be done to follow through upon it.
Being around the redwoods stimulates great spiritual vision-- especially of the etheric realms. And even after short visits, the psychic amplification continues on, for even months afterwards. It activates the brow and crown chakras, although if not properly balanced, it will manifest as unbalanced imagination and even superstition. It awakens within the arua a vitality that is simulataneously soothing and stimulating. It awakens extended growth periods that will touch strongly upon soul levels.
The redwoods are ancient spirits who try to help us gain perspective about our life. Do we need to step back and take a new look at what we are doing? Is it time for us to pursue our true visions? Redwoods remind us that there is always enough time. Great changes and great growth occurs just a little at a time.
