Forest Meditation

By- Prof. Dilip Gaikwad (Klatu Lukundu)

I first came across this tool in a Huna book. The

description given in that book was very brief andprecise. I was not satisfied with that and I startedexperimenting on myself as well as my clients ofAstrology and my students. My experimentation

yielded powerful results, sometimes they were not

very successful and I learned from feed back. Iresearched extensively the works of Freud, Jung,Assagioli, Erikson, Haley, King, Weiselman,

Castaneda and Hyatt. The research led me to morerefined way of practicing Forest Meditation. ThisForest Meditation is a tool that I use regularly. I

also present this at workshops and it has beenreceived very well. The participants areflabbergasted by the magical solutions to theirproblems. The concept here is to explore ones

own inner forest(subconscious andunconscious representation offears andphobias). It is time set aside to explore our

creative imagination. Instead of looking forpatterns using astrology or tarot, or looking for


3/9

signs in the outer-world, we can at any time lookinward, finding patterns and symbols, messages

and even omens in our own subconscious mind,within our own imagination. We can solve any

problem even use patterns and symbols frommythology, Astrology, Wastushastra, Fengshui, I-Ching, Tarot, playing cards, yantras,

sigils and talismans. In this meditation wecreate a forest. It can be any forest and we


4/9

can change any thing about it at will. It isunderstood this forest is a reflection of our ownproblems. It is 100% ours.Images in this

forest represent aspects of ourselves. Thismeditation comes from the Hawaiian Hunatradition.The forest can be used for a tool for healing

fears as well, setting patterns in oursubconscious mind that will heal our

phobias. An example is this: A marriedwoman (age 29 years) was suffering from a phobiaof elevetors and ghosts. Every time she entered alift she hallucinated ghosts from TV serial. She washealed of phobia and hallucination after threesessions of forest meditation.

To me, this inner forest walk doesn't just representmy fears and phobias. I meet wild animals, fiercespirits , ghosts, shamans, man eaters and tribalsthere. I do shamanic and magickal work.

Within your forest walk you may have helpers too,friends, allies, fairies, strangers - again, it doesn't

matter. You can tell them what you want to changeand they will do the work. You are all powerfulhere as it is yours, totally and completely. Theimportant thing is to make it feel real. Use yoursenses while you are there. Start with touching


5/9

some things feeling them, tasting somethingsfocusing on the taste, smelling a few things,and eventually use all your perceptics with

sub-modalities. Infact experiment with changingand fine tunning sub modalities. If you don't likeany aspect of your forest transform it to somethingcompletely different. But at first just see what yourmind (subconscious and unconscious) throws outat you. Do not be overly willful. Imposing toomuch conscious and logical thinking may

disturb the ecology of your mind. Let yoursubconscious and unconscious mind or higher selfshow you things.

I highly recommend keeping a notebook or adiary about your forest walk. It is interestingand can be very insightful to see how the forest

changes and evolves over time. You may also notedown feedback of results achieved. This immenselyhelps in heal fears and phobias.

you can use this meditation for fears and phobias.

The procedure of Forest Meditation is asfollows:

1.If you are already a spiritual practitioner, it

is important to begin by making prayers tothe Sthan devtas and Wastu devtas ,expressing gratitude and thanks for the space


6/9

you have and asking that your meditation beundisturbed. Begin the process of bringingyourself fully into the moment and into the place

where you are. Find yourself comfortable andrelaxed, pay attention to environmental stimuli,place your feet firmly on the floor, back straight,root yourself into the Earth. Become aware ofyour breath. Dont force it. Let it flow in and outwithout effort. You may become aware of yournostrils, the in and out flow of air, the unique

sensation of the temperature, or you may payattention to the rhythmatic movement of the ribbox, or you may become aware of the abdominalexpansion or contraction; be aware of the processand feel the movement of the air into your bodyand back out into the world. Use your breath tofeel your roots growing deeply into the Earth,

seeking strength and nourishment.

If you are a more rational / logical thinker or may be you are a

non believer you can ignore relevant part and make changes in

your script accordingly.

Think about who you are in this place at this

moment. Feel the edges of your intimate space.Accept your environment unconditionally, with loveand gratitude. Become fully present. Close youreyes. Let your breath flow naturally, leading youinto meditation.


7/9

(If you are having a difficult time relaxing, proceedanyway as the process of doing the Forest

Meditation will naturally relax you. Close your eyesand take a deep breath. Blow the air out and let itnaturally come back into your body. Then justbreath naturally, unforced.)

2. Let an image of a forest come into your mind.Don't worry if it isn't clear and well developed.

Don't judge what comes into your mind. If you feelthat it is easier to travel to your forest somehow (going down in an elevator, descending a staircase,riding magical creatures, flying, using a boat,whatever), feel free to use that imagery but let theimage arise naturally. In your mind find yourself atthe opening of a forest. The forest can be

anything, a hill, steep forest, a Himalayan peak, ora forest cliff, whatever. It doesn't matter. It can

just be totally natural as well. Don't judge whatcomes into your imagination. It is just yoursubconscious mind's creation. It is a place to startand nothing is fixed. The forest represents yoursubconscious perception of your fears and phobias.

It is a place where you can make change. Theforest keeps changing with fears and phobias.

3. Once in your forest walk bring your senses intoplay. Touch some things, smell some things, and


8/9

hear a few things (bird song, water falls, rivers andstreams, the wind through the trees, the texture ofa stone, explore it with your senses). If there is a

stream, well, or fruit, smell and taste the water orfruit. Explore the texture of things. What soundsare on the wind? Bring as much of yourconsciousness into play as you can. Hereexperience various obstacles and interruptions.There may be strangers, wild reptiles and animals,spirits, ghosts and demons, challenging rocks and

rivers, natural calamities like rain or confusion likeloosing your track. In spite of all odds rememberyourself as all powerful and overcome theobstacles and walk the forest in a predeterminedtime limit say 3 to 5 minutes. ( more than thatwill energize fears and phobias)

4. Keep walking in the forest. What grows there?What is the soil like? What is the climate? What isthe time of year? Let your curiosity lead youaround. What are you wearing? How do you feel inthis place? Are you associated or dissociated? Whatare the different submodalities?

5. When you are ready to end the meditation,do so consciously, not from distraction. Asuggestion like, I will count one to five andat the count of five I will be wide awakefeeling great, energetic, confident, peaceful


9/9

and alertand I will be integrated in mypresent realityin the now. Find yourselfpresent again on the physical plane. Become

aware again of the spirits of place. Givethanks that you have had a place of solitudeto do this work. Give thanks that you werenot disturbed. Find your roots again, feelingthe Earth beneath you given you constantsupport.When you are ready, move on withyour day.
