We don't know about you, but when we merely think of trees, we notice that our breathing slows, and we start to get a feeling of space, air and stillness. That's why we were drawn to this book, which explains why we feel like that. It's an in-depth exploration of how the subtle energies of trees can harmonise the subtle bodies of human beings, and thereby bring about physical, emotional and spritual healing. Simon and Sue Lilly consider 80 different tree species, all of them found in the UK, describing their different energies and how they can help us, as well as exploring their symbolism and uses. They have also developed a whole range of tree essences which can be used to introduce tree energies directly into our auras, and they describe how you can make these essences yourself (you can also buy them from Green Man Tree Essences, tel 01392 832005). 324pp, 145x205mm, softback, 1999
