• Find a quiet place that you like being in.
• Locate a tree that you quite fancy.
• Look at the tree lovingly; appreciate its beauty.
• Touch the tree; lay your hands on it or you may prefer to hug it.  If you can be barefoot to connect with nature and the universe all the better.
• Take your time to be still and sense a connection between you, the tree, and the universe.  You may feel warmth welling up inside you.  You may feel a tingling sensation in your hands or feet.  You may feel like a nutcase, but don't concern yourself with what you should or shouldn't feel.  Self-empowerment and expression are your birthright.
• When you have had enough tree loving for one day thank the tree and let it know that you appreciate its beauty and love.  Move away from the tree, look over your shoulder to check there is not a loony van waiting to take you to the nut-bin.  Go home and be happy.  Once you connect with a tree you are connected to it (& all other trees) for ever.

If you're incarcerated, stuck at home with a broken neck, got your arms looped in a special jacket at the nutshop, busy in the office or for whatever reason you can't get out doors don't worry.

You can tree hug anywhere (in the universe). All you need to do is use the power of your imagination.
Visualise the tree hugging steps above, if you do it with feeling it will be as good as the real thing.
