Fresh air, stretching the muscles and a whole lot more: what you're likely to get from time spent in the forest.
What about the wonderful sense of connection to the earth which trees are strongly rooted to? Many people refer to this as the grounding effect of trees.
Giving voice to the fact that trees nuture our wellbeing, is my purpose for creating: ‘The Sacred Lives of Trees’
Grounding helps when you've been affected by the following:
There are lots of circumstances in life that can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves.
Along with seeking professional support to heal, trees are one aspect of nature that can provide us with a way of restoring connection and it usually doesn't cost a lot to visit a forest or spend time with trees.
"Trees are an important contributor to our well-being, this factor is much deeper than some may realise."
Caroline Cunningham, Artist
More people are recognising the grounding effects of trees as a very real benefit for well-being, which is why tree analogies are often used in meditations and visualisations.
Imagine yourself having roots just like trees, anchoring yourself strongly to the earth. By influencing our thoughts and feelings in this way, we can change our body’s chemistry over time and raise our energy to allow sensations of being centred.
By developing this practice we can become more clear in our thinking and more able to deal with the surprise ‘hits’ life throws in our paths.
The response I got from launching ‘The Sacred Lives of Trees’ tour was tremendous. My on-line community sensed the importance of my quiet message, through my use of vivid colours and the intimate settings of trees.
From the comments I received,it was clear that the message resonated with many people, as they expressed their gratitude for trees and the comfort that they had received as a result of their presence.

Through my art and writing I share stories and inspiration for transformation, healing and dreams turning to reality. When you visit my gallery you glimpse my journey, my authentic path. It took a ‘Break True’ moment to point me towards developing my artistic talents. It’s never too late to make a new start. I’ve achieved a lot in a relatively short time. My work has been presented in New York as part of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, has been displayed on county Post Office and has been show-cased on National TV. Read more about my art journey here.
