Standing under a large oak tree, awed by its enormous size I felt an umbrella of energy radiating from the tree.
The massive oak displayed an interesting configuration of limbs which enveloped the sky above me.
 It was as if they were reaching out to protect me from all directions.
The strength displayed by this massive tree gave me a deep appreciation for the years of living on this earth plane it has experienced.
 Bending but never breaking to the winds of change.
This beautiful tree growing stronger with each passing year, depending upon the rich soil for nourishment and drinking from the abundant rains that fell with each passing storm, this mighty plant now provides shelter and food for others in the forest.
   The foliage underneath the huge tree appears to grow together with others of its own kind, forming little communities dependent upon each other for survival.
Small hosta and philodendrons that amongst themselves were poised with small fern-like plants formed mini environments at the base of the great oak.
Stepping back from the tree I observed a ray of sunshine reaching through its might limbs to the forest floor below.
 The energy from above began to penetrate and illuminate the life below.
 Around each plant on the forest floor, appeared a whitish light, visible and yet totally transparent so that none of the plants own color or form was obscured.
A vision of individual beauty and strength, uniquely amplified by the light from above radiated from each leaf.
It was as though I first observed the plant, then absorbed its presence, and then with the ray of light experienced the healing energy radiating from within its aura.
A plant is defined as a living thing that cannot move, but is firmly attached to the ground in order to grow.
To be grounded is said to have a solid base.
 All living things are made of energy and vibrate at different frequencies.
 With these principles defined it is not surprising that so many healers looked toward plants for their healing energy.
A healthy being is in harmony and is happy in his destiny path.
 He is grounded and firmly believes in what he is doing and saying.
  Plants are a symbol of the firm attachment and possibility of growth, when following your destiny path.
 The fertile soil and well irrigated land feeds the plant, producing beautiful flowers and abundant fruits; just as feeding the soul with truth and faith produces health and prosperity.
Plants are also as diverse and unique as people.
Look around you and notice all the colors, shapes and sizes plants bring to your surroundings.
The energy radiating from plants is amazing.
