Tree Agate
Growth and Renewal and Living in the NOW
Well, after a blog on a tree, I guess I really should have known that tree agate would start talking to me! I have a lovely piece on display in my work room and I use it to connect with the ancestors, but, like all crystals, it does do many other amazing things!
It is also known as dendritic agate and the dendrites are the inclusions you can see in the main body of the white stone and since they look a bit like foliage, the stone became known as tree agate.
It will be particularly useful for everyone at the moment because its energy brings many gifts with it, including stability and calmness and it makes you feel more peaceful by stabilising the energy in your emotional body.
Its gentle soothing energy also encourages self-love, which is always a good thing since we are all so very good at loving everyone else and we often forget we need to be loved too! So if that is a description of you, get some tree agate immediately!
It also calms the mind after a crisis … or any other kind of chaotic energy you might encounter in this mad, mad world we seem to be living in!
It strengthens the etheric body too and this in turn will stabilise the physical body, bringing many of the internal systems into balance. So the knock-on effect of this will, of course, enhance your health and well-being.
But the big thing this stone does is to allow you to attune to the earth, giving you a deep connection to its powerful healing vibrations and it does the same for everything in the natural world. You can connect far more easily too all sorts of things including all the lovely nature spirits. It is associated with dryads – the energetic beings who live in trees, as well.
The chakras associated with tree agate are the base and the heart. Its energy forms a connection between the two centres. They work well together because whenever the heart grows and expands, it is incredibly beneficial to the physical body. The change from fear to love in the heart chakra means the physical body can also change and become stronger and far more resilient. What better reminder that love is the greatest healing modality of all?
How to use tree agate.
To get the most from your co-creation of healing and wholeness with your trusty tree agate, daily meditation is often best, if your schedule allows this, of course. If not, just sitting with it for however long you can spare will always help. And twenty minutes is the preferred amount of time. But, again, if you only have five minutes … just go for it! Just because there is a set of instructions for working with this stone it does not mean you have to follow it. Use your own wisdom and intuition. It will always be best!
So, sit with your stone – for as long as you can – and just ask it to help you co-create the best healing experience for you at the time you decide to work with it. Hold it in the palm of your non-dominant hand and set the intention to breathe the energy in through to palm chakra, up your arm and from there let the energy flow into the whole of your physical body. If you have two, use both hands and breathe in twice as much! And if you do this while sitting with a tree… well… I leave you to experience that wonderful thing on your own. No words could possibly describe it anyway!
You can also hold it at the base and the heart, intending to breathe its energy into the chakras to clear any blockages in them. Use your out breath to push it out of the charka system.
Another way to utilise the energy of tree agate and practise using your intuition is to sit quietly with your stone for a few minutes and ask it to allow a number between 1 and 25 to float into your consciousness. Then take a look and see what the list says. It is a fool proof way of taking your head out of the decision-making process when you want to do any kind of healing meditation. It stops you thinking about what you need and allows you to be drawn to what you actually need to work on when you journey with your lovely stone.

Tree agate is also very similar to moss agate and you can use both of them together too.
