Those are some rather handsome cats you have there! Also, I'm glad to see Cedric (and your herb garden!) thriving.
On the topic of trees, I recently started the tree etheric exchange practice. I'm blessed to have an amazing park right around the corner from where I live. There's a whole system of hiking trails there and many of them pass through secluded forested areas. My favorite trail follows a very wide creek (one of the more prominent creeks in the metro area); the views are gorgeous. Toward the northern end of the park is a cluster of majestic Red Oaks, some of them quite old. The overall energy I get from these Oaks has me appreciating this park much more than most of the other places I've hiked in the area.
So I started doing the etheric exchange with some of the Oaks along the creekside trail. It's amazing how relaxed and de-stressed I felt after doing this! Of course I bow and thank the tree afterwards. This led me to research the nature of this practice and it seems like it's derived from Chinese Daoist Qi Gong practices, though this particular one doesn't move energy around the body in any intensive manner, thus it's safe to combine with Western energy practices (like from SOP and Golden Dawn systems).
One question: In your experience which types of trees have you found to be the most suitable for this practice?
