There are so many different ways to practice energy healing. Sending energy to plants and trees are an easy way to practice. All living beings have an energetic field and that energy can be manipulated.
There have been studies done to show that kind words and love can help plants flourish. You can also send reiki or energy of the frequency of love channeled from source to plants as well.
Here’s how you can do this:
-First, take a moment to ground yourself.
-Place your hands around or on the plant you wish to send energy to.
-Imagine a channel of either white or silver glittering light coming up from the Earth. This is life force energy that flows through all things. You can ask Gaia to help you if you wish but it’s not necessary. Imagine this light flowing up through your feet, through your legs and out your hands.
-I also imagine a green light coming from my heart space and intermingling with the Earth energy. Project love and healing from your heart space. The reason why I recommend also using the Earths energy is to strengthen your energy source.
-Visualize the bright light encircling the plant and seeping back into the dirt, being sucked up by its roots or soaked into the leaves. Follow your intuition, in my experience plants can react differently.
-Sit there sending the plant energy for a moment or two. As you do this, you can say loving words or just sit with the plant in the feeling and frequency of love. Visualize the plant growing larger and sprouting leaves or flowers and flourishing.
-When you are done, thank the Earth for its energy. Thank the plant for allowing you to work with it.
You can do this as often as you like. For houseplants, I also like to place small crystals in the pots as long as it won’t disrupt the growth of the plant. You can follow the same metaphysical meanings for crystals and apply them to the plant. For example use tigers eye or obsidian for protection from pests or harm, etc. Just know that some crystals can break down and loose luster in water, so check which ones beforehand if you do want the stones appearance to dull. Some raw stones can be toxic when wet as well such as pyrite, malachite, or lapis lazuli.
For trees, the process is the same but I’ve found I need to ask the trees permission first. You can also do that with plants if you feel called to. I’ve never felt a no from a tree before when offering energy but it’s more a respect thing. So beforehand, I gently feel their energy and sit with the tree for a few minutes. Get a feel for the trees energy (it sounds nuts but I swear if you pay attention you’ll feel their energy too with some practice).
While sitting with the trees energy, I talk to them in my head. Ask if the tree has any wisdom to share. Be open minded. You may feel, see, or hear different things or receive a clear knowing.
After a few minutes I ask if I can send some reiki or loving energy to the tree. It’s hard to explain but you will feel if there’s acceptance or not. In my experience it feels like resistance if it’s a no (I have felt this with animals before- because not all animals will be accepting).
Once you feel they accept the enemy you can begin the process mentioned above. With these practices I encourage you to lean into your senses and intuition and let them guide you as well.
Another method is watering plants with reiki or energy infused water, which I will cover in the next post.
Have you ever done something similar to this with plants before? I’d love to hear about it!
