‘Axis
Mundi’
Trees
are living, spirited beings and they can be an excellent guide to help
us gain a deeper insight in ourselves.
The
tree symbol is connected with the human soul and has everything to do
with individual development.
Everywhere
in the world and through all ages we find evidence of the fact that
people have been inspired by trees.
In
almost every culture the ‘world-axis’ is symbolized by a tree. In
Latin this symbol is called ‘Axis Mundi’
and
in the northern traditions ‘Yggdrasil’. The kabalistic ‘tree of
life’ is another example. ‘Axis Mundi’ is a symbol
for
the road to the upper-world, the road followed by the shaman to reach
the realm of gods and spirits.
This
world tree has three levels: its roots grow down to the under world; the
trunk lives in the middle-world,
together
with plants, animals and men and connects the upper- and under-world;
the top reaches up to the heavens,
the
upper-world, and symbolizes the potential elevation of man from the
dense material world to the
etheric world of
the spirit.

Unique
Every
sort of tree, just like human beings, has unique characteristics, both
on the physical and the energetic levels.
A
certain kind of tree reflects our inner self and represents the basic
structure of our inner life. That’s why
we
can use parts of a certain tree to strengthen those characteristics in
ourselves or get a better connection to them. Every piece of wood is
unique, like a fingerprint. Through all the ages, trees and their
spirits, named ‘Dryade’
by the Celts, have offered protection to
mankind.

Wearable
Source Of Energy
The
Healing Branch products are parts of branches with unique
characteristics, offered by trees with a higher
than
average life energy. Often they have been refined by adding minerals or
painted details, inspired by
concentrating
on the essence of the specific tree. This way every ‘Healing Branch’
serves a specific purpose;
for
instance as a ‘guiding’ stick, a ‘healing’ stick or a
‘prayer’ stick. The universal spirit only needs to make sure
the
future owner falls in love with this unique piece of wood. Marcel calls
the Healing Branch ‘supernatural art’
or
‘interdimensional art’.
From
the moment the branch was surrendered up to the moment of handing it
over to you, the Healing Branch
has
passed through all necessary rituals. These rituals are aimed at the
‘higher self’ of the tree and request
the
spirit to agree to ‘stay’ in this piece of wood and help man on his
path of life. Now the Healing Branch
is
ready to become your friend !

A
Friend For Life
Healing
Branch products can show us new ways to overcome difficult circumstances
and become stronger
and
more secure. If we are willing to communicate with them, they will aid
us through our life. The Healing Branch
not
only stimulates our consciousness, but also gives us a positive attitude
towards life. It helps you to connect
with
nature, inside and outside. The only thing the wood-spirit expects in
return is love and respect.
To
find your specific Healing Branch, it’s best to experience which one
‘feels good’ for you. Don’t hesitate
to
listen to your spiritual guide or higher self. Trust your intuition !
