In particular, the earth is a highly salubrious spirit, with great power not only to heal but also to absorb and dissipate negative energy and every sort of spiritual and emotional heaviness, as well as chronic illness.  The usual procedure is to dig a trench perhaps two feet deep and somewhat longer than your body.  Line the trench with sawdust or leaves so you will have a soft bed and pillow to lie on.  Disrobe and wrap yourself in a sheet with only your face exposed.  The sheet serves as a protection against e.g. ants.  You can do without the sheet if you’re the intrepid type.  Then lie down in the trench and have someone cover you with a layer of earth up to your neck, with your head sticking out.  Insect repellant can be used to keep bugs away.  If you are very sick or are in desperate need of lightening up, you should remain buried for 12 hours (dawn to dusk) the first time you bury yourself, and for at least 6 – 8 hours on subsequent burials.  Average people need only a 4 hour burial to tune themselves (there’s not much point in doing it for less than 4 hours at a stretch).  Although this may strike you as an odd thing to do, you might just find that being buried is one of the most enjoyable experiences you’ve ever had.  The earth herself is your hostess, and she will do her best to comfort, nourish, and entertain you.

            The sun is also a powerful spirit who can help you open your heart.  Stand facing him (early morning is best) with your chest bare and your palms open to the sunlight.  Feel his rays on your left breast warming up your heart.  You should do this exercise for a few minutes every day.  Semi-cloudy conditions also permit doing the exercise so long as there is some shadow.

            Other useful nature spirits include water and rock spirits, which can cleanse and solidify us, respectively; and anyone who is only mildly psychic can find such spirits easily enough.  They are often found in public parks, since these spirits often direct humans – who may quite unaware of what’s going on on a conscious level – to create parks around them.    But since tree spirits are readily available to almost everyone, we’ll limit our further discussion to them.

            People are using tree spirits all the time.  Any time you have sat under a tree to read, or write, or relax, you have followed your true feelings to find a proper tree spirit, and then you’ve plugged your feelings into  it.  Your mind, your concepts, may be saying, “Oh, how lovely!  Pretty day, blue sky – let’s go sit under a tree.”  And you just sit there and don’t know what is happening; but your body knows it.  Your body goes there because it needs it; and it knows exactly where to go, what to do there, and when to leave.
