in california we have the uniqueness of the palm trees.
but I'm also surprised at how many pepper trees grow here.
there is 1 up at mount washington.  paramahansa yognanda
has said that if anyone meditates under this tree he would shower blessings on them.
when I have been in michigan I've always been intrigued by a the poplar tree.
It"s leaves  flicker in the sunlight and when the wind blows through themhave
you get a meditative state of relaxation just
being in their presence.

meditating under them is
again a soothing experie
nce many times i have
had the pleasure of doing this on the Lake Michigan dunes in
Michigan and Indiana.

there is nothing like listening  to the oceanic sound of the pines
in the mountains and I long to sit under an oak tree in michigan
again and meditate.states

the willow tree draws me very close to some
distant past memories. recently from time to
time I go to meditate under the old fig tree
the dates back almost 150 years. it is so large that a car
could drive thru it.

trees impart contemplative and meditative states.
They show that in stillness and silence there is
a remarkable resevoir of power  realization and life.
