Tree talking is a fairly simple ritual that reflects and derives from the Ancient Druids who held trees to be most sacred. Tree talking is in fact just what it says it is, a way of forming a communication with the trees, though of course it is not a verbal communication, it is not literal talking, but it is establishing a connection to the tree and it is a sort of oneness and exchange of energy, emotions, and sometimes images, it was a way to gain something of the trees wisdom, as well as an impression of things which might have occurred in the aware around the tree or happened to the tree itself, and allows one to understand what the tree is feeling.
It is something it is easily and simply done, a fairly basic technique, all you have to do is place your hand flat against the trunk of a tree, close your eyes, and let yourself go, open your mind and your body up. Feel your energy flow from your body through your hand into the tree and keep your mind open and free of thought. Your energy will then be merged and joined by that of the tree, and as you allow your energy to flow into the tree then the trees energy will flow into you, and the feelings you experience will be that of that tree, you might also have images enter your mind.
It should be noted that in today's world some trees have closed themselves off, they have become untrusting and even hostile in some cases toward humans, but generally if one still understands the Earth, still has a connection to nature and has not completely forgotten the old ways, the trees will welcome it, and seek the opportunity to be understood once more.
