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 Bramble
To work with the Bramble is to see beyond the outer and to connect into the inner. In bringing in this balance and integration we can receive the lusciousness and the gold. It is all too easy to dismiss parts of ourselves or our experiences as not relevant. The Bramble helps us see the gold in all and to bring all parts together.
At a time where you are required to integrate into your conscious being everything you have experienced over the part year, then it is the bramble that will help you see all the parts of that. To help you see that everything that has happened to you is gold and has helped shape you to where you are today.
Despite its tenaciousness, its thorns the Bramble produces the most luscious and nourishing fruit beloved by all and sought after. We have created a whole time sharing around the picking and the foraging for blackberries that does not exist for any other plant. This time of picking arrives in September, by October the berries have been harvested and are being enjoyed. This is the time of integration in us and in all of nature.
When you are called to work with the Bramble you are being asked to spend time in seeing the gold in all that you are and all that you have experienced. There needs to be a time integration of an aspect or in October the whole year into your conscious being so that you may start the new cycle of the wheel with all the wisdom and the learning in place.
Complete integration is about seeing the gold in everything and only then can all parts become one.
