Trees can
communicate with one another. Trees share water and nutrients through
underground fungal networks and also use them to communicate. Trees are
interdependent and cooperative when sharing their feelings about nature and the
environment. There are some people who claim that we can understand and speak
their language with some techniques.
Forest
trees have evolved to live in cooperative, interdependent relationships,
maintained by communication and a collective intelligence similar to an insect
colony. Their real action is taking
place underground just a few inches below our feet. According to Ecologist
Suzanne Simard, trees have a sophisticated and interconnected social network
existing underground. In the forest, the tallest trees are hub tress. They have
greater access to sunlight and through the process of photosynthesis. They need
underground fungi to provide sugar to
survive, most of the fungi bodies are made out of a mass of threads called
mycelium. Mycelium absorbs the excess sugar and it provides the tree with
nutrients. Tress can communicate with each other via the mycelium.
There is an important
question about trees. Can we learn to speak their language? Yes, we can still
keep trying to understand their language. Doctor Haskell says “Trees are
biology’s philosophers, dialoguing over the ages and offering up a quiet
wisdom. We should listen, they know what they are talking about.” So there are
some techniques to communicate with trees. Firstly, place your hands on a tree
or its roots and close your eyes and tune into its energy. Gaze upon the tree
and simply observe it. Many times this will bring thoughts, questions and
answers into our conscious awareness.
When
everything is taken into consideration, it’s quite easy to understand that
trees can transfer information to eachother and we have the ability to
understand these mechanisms. Trees speak to eachother in a language and we can
listen to.
