304 apple trees planted so far!
Me and wee betty planted another 10 apple trees at the Lisnabreeny Community Orchard yesterday. What a beautiful day we got for it. Love sunny winter days planting trees.
After I planted these the lovely owners who have donated the land for this amazing orchard made me lunch. Love my food offerings. I may not be rich anymore rat race style. But I'm rich in life, love and friends.
Again I cant thank these people enough for what they have did. We were talking yesterday about getting the land put in a trust so that the orchard and the spiritual spiral oak museum will be safe forever, long after we are all gone.
That brings the total amount of heritage apple trees I've planted in the past month or so to 304. I've got every tree logged where I've planted them. About 200 of these have been phantom planted and the other 100 or so have been planted in managed orchards or peoples land and gardens.
I've over another 100 trees to get planted and after I plant these it will be time to prune all the bigger apple trees we have around council estates. Then after pruning it will be grafting time for propagating more apple trees for next year. What I love about this is its seasonal, your working alongside natures rhythm.
In this day and age I really cant think of a better thing to be doing.
Also cant wait for the better weather coming till I get barefoot in the forest training with the trees again.
I plant trees, train in the trees and meditate with the trees.
Tree meditation is one of my favourite. sit with your back against the tree and visualise the oxygen coming out of the trees into you as you inhale and as you exhale visualise the air coming out of you and into the tree. Build a symbiotic connection with the tree as you sit there meditating. Keep the mind focused on the circulation between you and the tree. Let the thoughts come and ago but dont attach to them, watch them ripple away bringing your focus back to the connection with the tree. Pretty powerful stuff.
After you do this for about 10 mins be aware of your thoughts, watch what inspiring and uplifting thoughts come to your mind. Our thoughts are powerful, they can uplift us or bring us down. You cant beat the feeling of having inspiring and uplifting thoughts, It naturally elevates your consciousness. The best thing we can all do in this mad mad world out there is look after our own mind and thoughts.
Love doing pullups on trees, it feels so natural and connecting. Was an amazing feeling that after years of waiting I did pullups on a tree that I phantom planted. Took around 8 years or so for the tree to be strong enough, but it held me well. Looking forward to the years ahead when I can climb and train in many more of the trees that I've phantom planted.
Be part of creation guys, elevate the mind, elevate the consciousness. Plant and chant and do good deeds. Dont get caught in the negative and destructive emotional patterns our world promotes. I dont feel good looking into the darkness of the world. I feel good aiming for the light.
