    What a wonderful experience for one person to have but to have someone share that experience with you is special. I feel you were respectful and caring to the tree and the elves fairy's and the little people who possibly moved out for the night to allow you to sleep soundly may have whispered sweet dreams and stood guard to protect you both through the night. I know they are only supposed to be in Ireland but I am sure there are international colonies.

    How utterly amazing to find a hollow in a tree big enough for both of you to sleep within. What a magical experience to hold dear like a precious jewel within a chest of memories to always cherish.

    What an amazing thing to do! I recently read a book about someone finding a tree like this, but it was a time travel portal and whisked her back to Mediaeval times!

    Love this video! This is my fantasy ever since reading the book "My Side of the Mountain" as a child. The art of spending time in nature, observing, is often overlooked in our busy structure-centered life in these times.

      I read this as an 8 year old and also dreamed of living inside a tree and with forest animals. The book has stayed in my imagination for 42 years.

    What a wonderful adventure.. Thank you so much for sharing this mystical experience, being inside another living being, often the haunt of fox and badger. Blessed are those who can attempt something as unique as this , at least once in one's lifetime.

      Let's hope the fox or badger or other small creatures return to this unique shelter despite the smell of human intrusion. It's a perfect nursery for spring babies.

      I have always thought about doing that since I was a kid. I'm not a kid anymore and I will never do that it, but this was wonderful. I just discovered this cha nnel this evening and I'm hooked. I expect sleeping a very old tree would churn out dreams.

      Your dream of the fox and badger visiting you was more than just a dream. It was them visiting you in spirit form and we are more susceptible to such visits in a dream state as our conscious mind is not actively putting up barriers to the possibilities. You were truly blessed by their reaching out to you because you were at their level, both physically and metaphysically. It doesn't happen very often.

It looks massive inside that tree. I’m a bit jealous so I’m going to have to live vicariously through you. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience! Cheers!

    The Hollow Tree.
    How oft a Summer hath started me
    To seek for shelter in an hollow tree
    Old huge ash-dotterel wasted to a shell
    Whose vigorous head still grew and flourished well
    Where ten might sit upon a battered floor
    And still look round discovering room for more
    And he who chose a hermit life to share
    Might have a door and make a cabin there
    They seem so like a house that our desires
    Would call them so, and make our gypsy fires
    And eat field dinners of the juicy peas
    Till we were wet and drabbled to the knees
    But in our old tree house, rain as it might
    Not one drop fell through although it rained all night.
    John Clare 1793 - 1864. The Country Poet, born in Helpston, Northamptonshire, who taught himself to read and write, lived a solitary life, but left stories of that life, and his poetry to enjoy today,.....thus, I fully recommend them.

  • @flowerseva
    @flowerseva 3 роки тому

    Oh I would love to do this too! Thank you for your genius and play! PS Trees can heal and clear energy, and when you spoke of the intense dreams, I wondered if it was simply “ a clearing” from your subconscious. But then when you spoke of the Badger and the Fox, it seems like you were on a Vision Quest. The author Ted Andrews, of ‘Animal Speak’, would have much to say about the Ash tree meaning, and the Fox and Badger too.... all easily found online. Much love 🧚🏻‍♀️🍁🍄🌲

Theres more to note learn and understand.. Its so suspenseful but nice to be there to really see feel for yourselves..... Great adventures.... FR asia japan

      It's an ash tree, so it is fast growing and doesn't get as old as an oak or a yew. So maybe 200. But an oak of a similar size could be 2 or 3 times as old

    I think that I shall never see
    A poem lovely as a tree.
    A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
    Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
    A tree that looks at God all day,
    And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
    A tree that may in Summer wear
    A nest of robins in her hair;
    Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
    Who intimately lives with rain.
    Poems are made by fools like me,
    But only God can make a tree.

    Probably was the tree you can find mytholoGy of ppl that used to live in hollow trees like that. To put it simply you are one with the tree almost like a core to a maGic wand. The enerGy flowinG thru the tree still flows thru and reflects in the inside and the frequency you were tappinG into while you were dreaminG. Also very interestinG about the funGus as shrooms/psychedelics do the same thinG basically and have the buildinG blocks of life inside like hydroGEN, nitroGEN, oxyGEN and more which correlates with GENisis. (I spelled it that way so you can break it down even further...)
