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 Oak
The Oak is known as the soul keeper tree. When we have gone through a period of challenge or trauma it is known that fragments of ourselves can detach to deal with what we have experienced. The Oak is the natural repository of these fragments and we can work with the Oak to call them back to ourselves. As we now know trees communicate and exchange information. In the same way we can find an oak that resonates with us and ask to have those parts of ourselves return to us.
In so doing this work we can understand more about what we faced at that time and in welcoming back this part of ourselves allow another player of healing to take place. Reconnecting all parts of ourselves.
It is also known as a tree to go to when we want to embrace all of our life as it is for the unique person we are. In regaining that sense of soul wholeness it enables us to respond more fully to our life and to embrace all that we are and all that we give to the world.
When you fear that you are resting taking the whole of your life into yourself and being whole to the world then turn to the Oak to help you understand where this might be occurring and why you are hesitant to live your best life.
