Trees have been used a form of symbolism for centuries and as a way of helping us to understand what our subconscious is saying to us: what to allow in, what to let go of and what needs to be seen but is unseen. When we are drawn to a certain tree we can then, by understanding how it can work with us, gain clarity and support.
All things are interwoven in the world, all of us give and receive support to the rest of the world. Trees are one part of that inter-relationship and one that I am constantly driven to understand more about and to work it into a collaboration with my own life development.
As I research, study and understand trees in my own work, my aim is to focus on one in particular, dedicating a page to it here. Based on my own experiences I will share the importance of that tree and the special gift it has to give.

The Sweet Chestnut
Where do you get nourishment from in your day to day life? Where do you feel the need for this nourishment and what form does it take for you to feel nourished?
Nourishment is feeding ourselves in a way that goes beyond our reserves or our resources but feeds all part of ourselves. Something that we can return to again and again and whilst it may also replenish its prime reason for being, is to give us something that goes beyond, say our energy levels but has a way of sustaining the growth we do and the personal development we are committed to.
The Sweet Chestnut tree gifts us access to understand what is our form of nourishment and to freeing us to up to receiving the nourishment we need. It will gift us the means of foresight to see where we are in the nourishment “levels” we have within us, the nourishment we actually need to go forward. Where what we already do provides us with this nourishment but could provide us with more, were we to become conscious of its role in our lives.
When we are called to work with the Sweet Chestnut, we maybe feeling depleted of nourishment within ourselves and need the gifts of this tree to see what we need to access. It could also be that we need to understand more about our needs and find the places where we need to change our opinion of what nourishment is for us and what we receive from it.
The Sweet Chestnut feeds us all in the way that is the most appropriate, for our continued growth and its delicious.
