Why trees need tight hugs too and hugs can be healing?

Tree hugs: Healing and Comforting

Tree Healing, Sensitivity, and Finding Your Soul Family

I've been trying to manifest my soul family and it has been quite stressful. If you've tried looking for your soul family, you'd know that there can be many energetic changes that arise, which can make it difficult to focus on day-to-day life.

For example, I am having trouble focusing on work, as I am able to sense my soul family members in spirit. This can feel like sensing people you love, and who love you back, energetically rather than physically.

It's soothing, but it can hurt too. Old traumas can surface and make us feel as though we don’t deserve to move forward. At the same time, it can be heart-warming to know that you are not alone in this big, wide world.

Mr. Birch, Bark Energy, and Plant Healing

Speaking about soul family members makes me think of Mr. Birch, my tree friend and family. Yesterday, I felt disturbed by the energetic changes happening within me, so I went to have a quiet chat with Mr. Birch.

At first, Mr. Birch didn’t say much. I hugged him to see his response. It still felt unresponsive, yet I continued hugging.

After some time, I began stroking his bark and speaking in short sentences. I wanted to say more, but I was still processing the energetic shifts. I didn’t want to leave.

It felt as though Mr. Birch’s bark energy was helping me process information and feel less alarmed. This is the beauty of bark energy in plants. It can soothe sensitive souls and help us feel okay, even when everything isn’t fully okay.

Honestly, hugging a tree can be deeply healing. It can release stress and panic quickly.

When I hugged Mr. Birch, it felt as though my worries about my soul family were dissolving, as if everything would be fine again.

Thank god for Mr. Birch.

Sensitivity as a Gift: How Trees and Hugs Support Sensitive Souls?

So, how can bark energy support sensitive souls?

Many individuals around the world have higher sensitivity levels. This can include heightened awareness of energy, emotions, thoughts, words, art, and nature.

Sensitive souls often experience a wide range of emotions and varying degrees of sensitivity. This is not something to be ashamed of. Sensitivity can act as a compass.

Sometimes sensitivity is easy to express; sometimes it isn’t. I know this deeply, as I identify as a highly sensitive person and have spent 32 years being sensitive.

I understand how a lack of expression can make sensitive people feel frustrated, as if they are holding a mountain within themselves.

Often, sensitive souls feel ashamed of their emotions, thoughts, or energy. They may feel like a burden or as though they don’t belong. I felt this way a few years ago, and I understand how misunderstanding sensitivity can create shame around creative and emotional gifts.

Do you resonate with this?

But, what if sensitivity isn’t a problem?

If I wasn’t sensitive, I wouldn’t have been able to communicate with Mr. Birch. When I spoke with him, it took time to receive a response. After a few minutes, I realised he wanted me to use both hands to hug him so I could feel his energy more clearly.

Plants and trees have their own needs and communicate with sensitive individuals. They are human-like in one sense and entirely non-human in another, which can feel relieving.

I even told Mr. Birch how relieved I was that he wasn’t human. That day felt overwhelming with human interaction, and I simply wanted a friend who wasn’t human.

His bark energy gave me the earthy, comforting feeling I needed. Without sensitivity to plants and trees, it would be difficult to appreciate the importance of tree healing, plant wisdom, and even tree hugs.

I believe hugging trees can heal the hearts of sensitive souls. Bark energy can seep into deep wounds and remind us that we are real, trees are real, and the bond between humans and nature is real.

Sensitive individuals often already have a deep connection with nature. They see nature for what it truly is. They can see, speak, understand, learn from, and heal with plants and trees.

For some, this connection comes naturally. For others, plant communication and tree relationships develop with practice.

If you are here, you may have a special relationship with nature too.

How did it begin for you?

Did it come naturally, or did you practise to develop your connection?

Either way, congratulations on your bond with nature and on discovering how trees and plants can be your allies.
