The act of honoring an animal or anything in creation is not an act of  worship. It is the acknowledgment of their power and their being as brothers and sisters of the entire universe. It is a sign of our gratitude for their help. The energy of the animals, birds and other creatures that assist us should be honored. Native Americans often leave tobacco scattered on the ground as a gift. You could also burn incense in honor of the animal. When honoring animal wisdom and energy, always leave a gift of some sort. Always remember to say “Thank you.” For all the help they give us they deserve our gratitude.

Often humans forget (or never learn) that there are others on this planet who have wisdom to share.

All natural things communicate and can be talked with. However very few people actually try to talk to anything other than fellow humans.

To speak with an animal, plant, stone or other object, relax and get in tune with it. Imagine what you are trying to communicate in your mind. Feel its differences from you. If it is not a mammal try to understand its life, that of a plant soaking in the sun or a stone existing much longer and slower, slowly being worn down by the elements. Then try to sense the being that you wish to communicate with. Allow any image that comes into your mind. A rock spirit won’t necessarily look like a chunk of quartz. It might just as easily take on the form of a woman in a gown. Just let an image come to you. If you manage to connect, take some time to commune with it. Ask it for a message. Get to know it and remember to introduce yourself. Manners are manners no matter who or what you are talking to. Remember to say thank you and good bye.

Leaning up against a tree or looking at a river is often enough to find that connection. Notice that rocks and trees tend to respond slower than animals since their concept of time is so different. In addition when talking to trees or rocks try to slow down to meet them at a level closer to theirs. This can be very calming. Think about trying to jump from the concept of millennia to the concept of minutes while hiking up a steep trail and you should be able to figure out why!

Be still and know. All new learnings, all ideas about new things, creativity, daydreaming and mental effectiveness come to those who learn about silence. All warriors know about the power of silence.  All Elders know about stillness. Be still and know God. Meditation is about the place of silence. This is the place to hear God’s voice. We can find tremendous amounts of knowledge in the place of silence. This is the sacred place of God.

~Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa), SANTEE SIOUX

We have a common destiny with the tree, our DNA are as the same.  As we exhale the tree inhales our breath when the tree exhales we breath. It is like a tantric exercise between us and the tree.
