Why are you attached to a specific tree?

🌿 Are You Communicating with Trees?
This is such an exciting question, because if you are asking it of yourself, you may already be communicating with a tree or a plant. And that must be celebrated—especially if you are awakening your tree empath gifts, plant communication, or intuitive connection with nature.
My first conscious encounter with a plant was in 2019. A plant was asking me to water it, and it was so special because I realised that I had always been able to speak to plants, but it was only in that moment that I realised that wasn't true. I always was able to unconsciously communicate with plants and trees, and I had to only believe that they were always my friends.
I do believe that each one of us has a unique connection with some trees and plants. Some plants are able to catch our attention more than others. They can feel as though they are speaking to us, as though they can see us, even without eyes or any human senses—something often experienced by highly sensitive people and plant empaths.
And, you may wonder, how is this even possible?
Well, trees connect to us through energy, psychic gifts, emotions, and soul recognition—this is often described as a spiritual connection with trees and plant energy awareness.
🌳 Spiritual Connection with Trees: Soul Ties, Plant Energy & Past Life Bonds
Similar to humans, plants and trees can have soul ties with us and relationships with us from previous lifetimes. This idea is often explored in plant Reiki, energy healing, and intuitive development practices. Unfortunately, they can be right in our homes for years, and we might not recognise them. For example, my first plant friend was right in my home for months, and I didn't recognise it until I suddenly could.
My first plant friend was called Muddy. It was a lemongrass plant, which unfortunately passed away during a peak in my spiritual awakening. If I am being fully honest, I have never had a friend like Muddy, and I doubt if I ever will, especially in human form.
(P.S. - Muddy and I will appreciate it if you hold a two-minute silence for its demise. Thank you!)
The point is that we all can have that one special plant or tree that recognises us in a crowd (metaphorically speaking and literally speaking). And it could be difficult to believe at first. We can wonder to ourselves, 'I can't speak to trees', 'trees don't talk back', or 'I have no understanding of speaking with trees'. This could be our inner talk, and often, it could be wrong—especially when we are just beginning to explore tree communication and intuitive plant connection.
Humans have a natural skill to communicate with trees and plants. We only choose to repress these skills, as they seem not so important for our material reality. Granted, it could look that way, as trees and plants might not be our first choices to earn a meal; however, they can help us with our material challenges through grounding, emotional healing, and nature-based clarity.
And, who knows?
A tree or plant could be catching your attention to give you the answers to your material challenges.
🌱 How to Recognise Your Tree?
For example, I have a tree friend called Birch. Birch is a neem tree. And I love him! He loves tight hugs and long conversations with me. He's particular about the humans he chooses as his friends, and he can have an attitude if I don't pamper him with treats, songs, conversations, or bark rubs—something many plant empaths and nature lovers may relate to.
Recently, I was having trouble with my YouTube channel. I've been putting in a lot of work and long hours, and yet, I haven't been able to get the results I want. I went to Birch and was talking to him about two of my friends, called Billy and Musk. As I was chatting with Birch, Birch made me realise that I was listening to a lot of people about my channel and not really doing my own thing, which is probably more important at the moment—this is how tree guidance and intuitive clarity can show up.
Of course, I had to treat Birch with a tight hug to tell me this, but he came through!
Also, let's bear in mind, I have been literally trained by Birch with silent treatment (yes, he can do that even though he's a tree) to hug him with two hands and not just one.
As I said, he can have an attitude. But I love it! I guess he knows how to love himself!
As you can see, my talk with Birch helped me understand the problem with my Youtube channel and helped me learn about self-love—one of the most powerful benefits of tree healing and nature connection practices.
Similarly, if you feel as though a plant or tree constantly keeps catching your energy, that particular plant or tree could have been waiting for you to recognise him/her/it/they as your support, friend, or guide—this is often a sign of plant communication and energetic alignment.
The easiest way to recognise 'your' tree is to check which tree or plant makes you feel at home and gives you the comfort you don't find anywhere else.
And, I assure you, even if you are in a nursery filled with plants, you would be able to find 'your' plant. It would always stand out to you. It would make you feel like you belong. It would make you feel seen, heard, and supported—something deeply felt by sensitive individuals and intuitive artists.
Now, trees and plants can't give us support as humans do, but that's the whole point of befriending a tree or a plant.
We as humans need more trees and plants to lean on—especially for emotional grounding, stress relief, and spiritual healing.
So, the next time you see your tree or plant, go and verbally say hello.
Fear not, they will not talk back, but they will communicate with you through their energy—this is the essence of tree energy healing and plant awareness.
If you ever doubt it, give your tree a tight hug.
I assure you, you would feel something in your heart.
And if you don't, it wasn't your tree.
