Thought Forms at Millennia Trees

You sometimes dream of the mystical tree and

its healing properties contained in the the flowers.

You are now capable of channeling these energies

by hooking up to its larger source,

Yet, without your goodwill they unfortunately sit idly by,

Awaken these now yet again,

be a catalyst for change and see what you can achieve.

**

You awake in your bed,

but in the field from your recent meditation,

Yet, it’s many Millennia from your time.

You step up from the side of your bed barefoot,

The field looks much the same from your subconscious memories,

virtually barren now though

except for that one tree and some grass.

What else do you see?

What else do you feel?

Thick, luscious blades of grass

brush the soles of your feet,

You begin to not only grasp a sense of peacefulness, but

that there is peace now everywhere.

Not just here but,

across the universe.

✨ 🌏 ✨

..No wars,

No suffering,

No abuse, just a warm feeling of silent contentment.

Your heart rate slows,

Your breath is quiet and mannered

and it feels so so good -

like you are breathing in

something as special as freshly-baked cookies,

but it is just the air &

the warmness of heart

within this very atmosphere,

that you experience.

You feel what everyone left on this planet now feels.

The energies transmitted are so positive you can’t quite believe,

You own body begins to quiver slightly for a moment &

then to feel stronger,

Any blockages in your mind,

Any fears and frustrations you might have had,

Are wiped away,

As if they never once bothered you to begin with.

***

A woman walks towards you in the distance

She wears a garden hat made of straw,

she appears approximately 50 years of age,

As she eventually comes close by, she reaches out her open hand

You clasp it without thinking and

a warm surge shoots through your arm,

Permeating your entire body, as if a warm-glow has been gifted to you

by a mysterious benefactor,

You smile at her and her graceful luminosity radiates back,

She holds out a small mirror in front of you,

While you curiously look inside the face,

and, for a moment, you hardly recognise yourself,

No, you are not thousands of years older (that might not be quite so good)

but you face is firmer, those little

wrinkles around your eyes

Are no longer there,

nor most of your frown lines &

your hair is dark brown with

golden red shades emanating from

the top of your head.

Younger & younger,

you feel and look younger than

you have in years and years.

“What is this witchcraft?” you ask.

“No, no witchcraft,” she lightly giggles. “It’s peace. We have no stress now,

Our families are always close by & there for us,

There is no war or bloodshed any longer.

This is our world now.”

“How have you accomplished this?” you politely enquire. Before continuing

“This..this life? We need this back in our time right now - “How can we..?”

You can tell the woman is reluctant to say anymore today..

but she silently reaches into her pocket and

pulls out a handful of seeds & scatterers these around the field.

Then suddenly, in unison,

Green shoots appear all over the field,

before rapidly growing into fully grown trees

right before your gobsmacked eyes.

The branches catch fire,

just like in our waking dream, not long ago,

Yet this time for real,

You’re no longer running in the fields of your mind,

You are at the very place of your dreams!

Each of the trees’ branches burn for a few minutes,

before they again miraculously reflourish &

the most beautiful flowers you have ever seen begin growing.

This time, each tree has different flowers bloom from its branches,

“The yellow ones - what are those for?” you ask.

“Those are called Mint Marigolds for joy & love,

“And that one?” You point to in the distance that is flowering orange.

“Zinnias - those are for wisdom & faith”, she states.

You notice the violet ones with the inner golden hue and

remember these fondly from your meditation.

“And these?” You ask.

“Cattleya Orchids” - those are for healing! I believe you have tried those.”

“And what about these green and gold flowers?” you ask excitedly.

“For peace”.

You are overcome by the spectacle before you,

You have so very many questions & suddenly stifle a soft sob.

Eventually your tears run down the side of your face,

but they are tears of love and joy

and feelings of overwhelming peace.

a release.

She takes your hand in hers &

places in your palm a small lightly-tanned pouch.

You instantly realise what is inside.

“Thank you,” you reiterate again and again.

She smiles, “We all need a little help sometimes.”

You take a deep breath and exhale audibly and

a warm smile permeates your face as you close your eyes tightly.

You slowly open your eyes to find yourself alone in the field,

a field (back in your own time).

“Where am I?” You ask aloud.

But you do not feel lost anymore…

What is my purpose but to sow these seeds.

You know what must be done.

Yet, first you must find your way back home,

There is much to prepare our friends and family for,

There is indeed, an awful lot of work

that now needs to be done!

🌲 🔥 🌺

Quick note: thanks for reading. This is probably the last of my meditation related pieces for a while, so I hope you enjoyed. You can also read the first few below. I wrote this a couple of weeks back, but got stuck on the dang flower part. I don’t know much about flowers or flower remedies etc, so the colours of the flowers and what they relate to are random. Let me know what you thought in comments.

    I see your zen/chi floating on the clouds as dandelion dust dance across the sky and the wind taking you to a place of peace and calm. This is so dreamy and meditative. You did well with the flowers, we all write from different spaces of our minds and thoughts. Embrace your mind space, it comes to only you. We can only imagine.

  • What a wonderful meditation of thoughts full of great sensory detail. My favorite part was "“No, no witchcraft,” she lightly giggles. “It’s peace. We have no stress now, / ...this is our world now."
