THE POWER OF THE INVISIBLE

It has only just come to light in recent years that trees have a complex and underground communication network.

Our essence is beautiful, radiant, powerful.

Dr. Suzanne Simard’s research in the 1990s discovered that trees share resources like water and nutrients with each other. They send distress signals and support their offspring. This discovery was later brought to a wider audience by Wohlleben’s book, ‘The Secret Life of Trees’. This communication network has been nicknamed ‘The Wood Wide Web’.

This is a wonderful example of the power of the invisible. In our own human world, we have something similar - “The World Wide Web’ - with an almost unlimited network of communication. In whatever way we communicate, through words or actions, it is in fact our thoughts and vibrations that create the impact, and that is what is retained in the memory. Research shows that we retain only about 12 per cent of content from exchanges, but we retain the experience far longer. We remember the energy, the posture, tone of voice, smile, light in the eyes.
