Wisdom
from Grandfather Tree: Part II
In
the last edition of The Journal of Spirited Coaching, I related
the
wisdom of Grandfather Tree, whom I had the honor of conversing
with on Christmas Day during a trip to the ocean. Later, there was
additional information that came through...
As
he was telling his story, he was giving me images, too. A sort of
audio/visual version of story telling. He showed me an image of
the forest glade where he grew up. It was lush, mossy, and verdant
- rich with life. All of the flora beings lived in harmony with
each other and with the earth herself. There was a deep sense
of community, family.
When
he talked about being the tallest tree in his part of the forest,
there was a hint of pride, but it wasn't boastful or braggy. He
was grateful to have grown so tall and strong. Without him actually
saying it, though, I could feel the faintest bit of doubt feathering
the edges of his conversation that perhaps that one little bit of
pride was his downfall.
He
seemed to understand that to stand out from the crowd is always
a risky position. Those who stay amongst others of their kind are
playing it safe by hiding within the collective. Those who become
most successful separate themselves from the group, stand out, and
make themselves bigger, easier-to-spot targets. It is the nature
of nature to make things equal, to even things out and level the
playing field.
So
it is in all aspects of life. In the human realm, those who become
great successes also become easier targets to be hit by others who
have grand designs of taking the place of those at the front.
Some
trees are destined to die quietly and uneventfully, falling to the
forest floor where they transform into supportive material for other
forms of life.
- Rotten
wood becomes food for termites and worms
-
Bugs that infest the rotting tree become food for birds
- In
their search for bugs, woodpeckers create holes in the tree which
become homes for mice, squirrels, and other smaller birds.
- Eventually
the entire tree rots and becomes nutrients for other flora - ferns,
Salal, moss, fungus, Huckleberry bushes, blackberry vines, and
eventually, other trees.
As
Grandfather Tree said, "I may become a million pieces, but
they are still all me. I have just transformed." The tree that
dies quietly in the deep forest transforms into other life forms,
but it's still itself... even though it's part of another life form.
The
trip down the river for Grandfather Tree was brutal and took only
one winter. The trip from the log pile at the back of the river
mouth took several years and was no less brutal than the trip down
the river. Each movement meant scraping against another tree log,
bashing into several tree logs at a time, or other tree logs slamming
into him. It was painful and dangerous. Many never made it to the
ocean beach in one piece, having been broken into many smaller pieces
and chewed up in the process of the wintertime storms. Because of
his size, Grandfather Tree was able to withstand the onslaught of
the tree-smashing waves and log warfare.
He's
now had many years of a relatively quiet life with only the annual
movement out into the ocean and back to the beach during the winter.
He's had much time to reflect over his life and to squeeze the meaning
out of the events he's experienced so far.
Grandfather
Tree will be on the beach at Kalaloch for many years to come. If
you're out that way, I invite you to sit down next to him and ask
him if he'd honor you with a story.
Love,
Kathy
ps.
There are Grandfather and Grandmother Trees everywhere. If you can't
make it to Kalaloch, find one near you and ask if it would please
share its story with you.

PSYCH-K®
Become
the master of your beliefs
rather than a victim of their consequences
Your
beliefs are stored in your subconscious mind. Neurological research
indicates that as much as 95% of our consciousness is actually subconscious.
While you may be unaware of their influence on you, your beliefs
direct your actions, choices, and behaviors. These subconscious
beliefs create the filters through which you respond to life's challenges.
Your
subconscious beliefs establish the limits
of what you can achieve.
Rescripting
subconscious limiting beliefs is like reprogramming a computer.
Using PSYCH-K® techniques, your body becomes the keyboard which
you use to communicate with your brain. Both hemispheres of the
brain are included in the reprogramming to maximize your full potential.
"I
just wanted to say the the Psych-K exercises are really, truly
wonderful. I haven't had a panic attack about my weight at all
since we have done them and I can't tell you how liberating that
has been. Sweet freedom! Thanks so much!" JM
PSYCH-K®
helps you quickly and easily communicate directly with your subconscious
mind while using whole-brain techniques for integration. In just
minutes you can change old self-limiting beliefs into new self-enhancing
ones that support you.
"The
'secret to life' is BELIEF. Rather than genes, it is our beliefs
that control our lives. PSYCH-K® is a simple, self-empowering
process to change your beliefs and perceptions that impact your
life at a cellular level."
Bruce Lipton, Ph.D Cellular Biologist, author of
Biology
