Yes, very much yes! This is what I did when the flow was "chaotic" for a while last year, and
the back-to-the-tree thing was both instinctive and very effective. It is almost (almost? I
think perhaps *actually*) joining with the tree, feeling its branches in the sky and its roots
underground boosts the visualisation immensely.

It is also helpful to visualize the world not as separate things, but as atoms and sub-atomic
particles and the yet-unnamed (except in spirituality) smaller and smaller energy bits that move
and hold everything "together"...then you can sort of fly through just about anything...I use
this when I paint as a way of really connecting with the subject matter...realizing that the
connection is already there, all I have to do is go with it.

(and then maybe I can figure out [as I did this weekend, btw] why my e-mail account wasn't
posting successfully to the list! <grin>){ ***and maybe isn't still!***sorry if this is a
duplicate...I'm setting things up at the work account now and couldn't remember the settings
that worked at home!}

The night sweats have begun again so the K-energy is heating up again and getting ready to blow
my mind....I can feel it in my back, rising, as I type this message. My dreams are also clearer
than ever, and the night before last I had the "holodeck" sort of dream...

I was transported by a small turquoise-colored laptop computer "movie player" into an alternate
"here" and was on a quest to find the ferryboat to the place I needed to be...the city was an
alternate Los Angeles, in this reality had a harbor and was called "Las Angele" or Le Angele" or
something similar. (linguistics experts, anybody??? obviously talking about angels, as in the
city of, but is there any other connection possible in the name?)

...in this reality I was androgynous and I had to disguise myself in elaborate costume (medieval
Italian? Hmm...) to move unsuspected. The dressing in costume became an elaborate ritual,
starting with a pair of underpants that were both androgynous and at the same time very lacy,
white and sensual...then a gathered hiplength tunic top, white gauzy pantaloons, and
multicolored shoes of cloth, the left one of which had a special long tie that was wrapped
around and up the left leg and tucked into the waist of the pantaloons. It was important to get
this right.

The people here had one physical difference from humans in "my" alternative world...they had
bony growths on the top/back of their hip area, which I did not have...I had to explain their
absence once as "having an accident that forced me to have them surgically removed." The person
I explained this to was the only other person wearing clothes similar to ours, and she commented
on how our clothing "must have set us back a bit" being so costly.

...The ferryboat was a massive white ship and many people were going to miss it because of a
traffic accident on the way to the harbor...we did not even know where the ferry was going,
except that it was where we needed to go.

...as I and a friend made our way closer to the harbor, we walked through a park where a group
of militantly-dressed police were amused at our "kid cop" costume and left us alone, and the
children in the park were in awe of us...

...we went further and found ourselves in a small square structure with lots of windows, a table
and two chairs occupied by a man and his young daughter...there were "pretzels" in a glass bowl
on the table. We knew these were not normal food, but instead a key to a meditative/transcendent
state, so we hinted that we wanted them. As the dream faded, we were eating these foods and
awaiting their effects.

Another remarkable dream...I consider these dreams gifts from Goddess and love to share them...I
hope at least some others on the list appreciate them as much as I do.

*****

Back in the waking world, I am finally making a creative move away from my "day job"...My best
friend and I are going into a creative venture together, as Luna & Solara Designs (our business
name derived from our nicknames for each other...I am Luna {the nightowl} and she is Solara {the
sun-worshiper}...and we are making one-of-a-kind wearable masks... I share this because I find
it interesting that I have never considered this sort of creative thing before, it was always
formerly painting what I considered "fine art" and the mask work was lumped in there with a
little scorn as "arts 'n' crafts"...It's funny how things change! So now, instead of wearing my
mask/costume (being what I think some boss / entity thinks I *should* be) I am making them for
other people to wear in play...

What does this have to do with Kundalini and trees? Everything, 'cause that's where the creative
fire has come from...I am finally following my bliss and where it takes me tomorrow (or today)
is the adventure!

Bright Fiery K-Blessings--Kath
