Has nature helped you heal?

[ocean]

Hi everyone,

I had this experience today and I was wonering if anyone could help me...

Today I connected with a tree, and before I knew it it was making me realise that I am going through my life searching for a father, because I feel like I don't have one. I am searching for that love and support everywhere. I cant even explain how the tree made me see all this, but then i was seized with a fear of abandonment. I was terrified that the tree didnt like me and wanted to leave me (I know that sounds ridiculous) :lol:

Anyway, I'm not really sure what happened. I was holding the tree and it felt like we were breathing in unision. I felt very connected to it. Did nature bring up this deep-seeded fear I have so that I could start to heal it? Or did the tree want me to go away?! Or was I picking up on some of its attricbutes (male / father figure, unhappy?)

Has your time in nature helped you to heal emotional wounds? How do you differentiate between what's yours, and what is the trees? (Im an empath so this is something I struggle with all the time with people).
