“An Early Spring” according to the Maples

A few days ago, on January 20th, I went out to check Andy’s trees in the Morristown, NJ, area. The Crocuses were already an inch tall.  Even though severe cold was forecast in the immediate future, the trees told me that the weather would be warming up by about February 4th. So, the trees are saying that there will be an early Spring.

Specifically, the Maples said that they would  be barely starting to push up sap on January 24th.

So, here it is, January 24th!  Out I went.  Temperature is 23 degrees with a wind-chill factor of about 4 degrees.

"Hey! Whatcha doin’?"

I was working on a Maple tree in Blairstown, NJ.  This tree is in front of a stately home with lots of woods around.  While I was doing my bioenergy healing treatment on the Maple, it was obvious to me that the other Maples, Pines and other trees nearby were reaching out their energy fields.  It was as if they were saying “Hey!  Whatcha doin’ with our buddy?”
They wanted some of the energy treatment as well.  It’s a little like when someone rubs your shoulders.  Everybody else in the room wants that, too.
I could feel the other trees’ energy fields leaning toward me.  They were reaching out to be in  my energy field and the energy field of the sick tree I was treating.  This gave me a whole new feeling for community and how trees operate in community.
So, I told the other trees that I realized they were there.
I said to them:  ”I know you’re here. I want you to have the treatment as well.  Please help this sick tree.”
They were very willing to help.

Sap Rising in Sugar Maples, February 1, 2010

Several weeks ago–early January–I put my hands on a beautiful, big old Sugar Maple in the Morristown, NJ, USA, area.  The tree communicated to me that it was going to begin to push sap up around February 1st.  It’s very cold right now but I believe that the trees know what they are talking about. The tree said it would be an early Spring with “a few bumps in the road.”  That would mean it is waking up early.
Today, I was at the NOFA NJ Winter Conference.  I explained this to a participant.  She said: “Oh, yes!  A neighbor who makes Maple Syrup said he was going to begin tapping his trees on February 1st.”
Confirmation of what the trees are telling me!
