Unsere fünf heiligen Bäume
Wegweiser zum eigenen Selbst: Baum-Meditationen mit Bestseller-Autor Wolf-Dieter Storl.
Mit den Baum-Meditationen, die uns der Kulturanthropologe und Ethnobotaniker Wolf-Dieter Storl, vorstellt, lernen wir, wie man die Seele öffnet und dabei mit dem Wesen eines Baumes in Resonanz kommt. Wir erfahren, dass jede Baumart ihre eigenen charakteristischen Botschaften vermittelt. Traditionelle Waldmenschen, die Heiler und Schamanen der indigenen Völker sowie unsere fernen Ahnen kannten das schon immer.
Die Botschaften, Bilder und Eindrücke, welche die Menschen auf diese Weise empfingen, wurden in Form von Mythen, Märchen, Brauchtum und Heilwissen weitergegeben.
In diesem Natur-Ratgeber stellt Wolf-Dieter Storl 5 einheimische Bäume vor, wobei jeder für ein großes Lebensthema steht: Die Birke ist der Baum des lichtvollen Anfangs, die Buche schafft geistige Verbindung, die Eiche unterstützt ordnende Kräfte, die Linde ist der Baum der heilenden Liebe und die Eibe steht für die offenen Lebensfragen.
Durch die Natur-Meditation öffnen wir uns für eine größere Dimension. Dafür ist nicht unbedingt eine besondere Sitzhaltung notwendig, man kann den Baum auch umarmen, die Rinde fühlen, sie riechen, ein Blatt kosten. Wichtig ist, das Bewusstsein auf den Baum zu richten und auf das, was seine Gegenwart in unserer Seele in Resonanz bringt.

About the author
Wolf-Dieter Storl
70 books121 followersBorn in Saxony, Germany in 1942 with a green thumb and the gift of writing, and emigrating with his parents to the United States in 1954, cultural anthropologist and ethno-botanist Wolf Dieter Storl has had a special connection to nature since childhood. His specific area of research is shamanism and healing in traditional societies with a focus on the role of plants in all aspects of life, including sacred symbolism, magic, medicine, foods, and poisons. He has pursued this interest in many parts of the world.
After finishing his PhD in Anthropology (magna cum lauda) on a Fulbright scholarship in 1974 in Berne, Switzerland, he taught anthropology and sociology in Grants Pass, OR. During this time he also offered an organic gardening course that was extremely popular. He was one of the pioneers of the organic/biodynamic gardening movement. While preparing for his doctoral exams in Switzerland he also lived in an experimental community and helped tend a five-acre organic garden. There he had the good fortune to learn from master gardener, Manfred Stauffer who specialized in composting any organic matter.
Storl is also an avid traveler and has gathered much experience observing nature around the entire globe and spending time with people who are very connected to the nature that surrounds them. From1982 -83, he spent a year as an official visiting scholar at the Benares Hindu University, in Varanasi, India. After returning to the United States in 1984, he spent much time with traditional medicine persons of the Cheyenne and taught courses at Sheridan College in Sheridan, Wyoming. He has traveled and conducted research in South Asia, India, Mexico, the Canary Islands, South Africa, and much of Europe, pursuing ehtnobotanical and ethnomedicinal interests. He has written some twenty-five books and many articles in German and English, which have been translated into various languages, such as English, Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Japanese, Danish, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Czech. Storl is a frequent guest on German, Swiss and Austrian television and has also appeared on BBC.
After another visit in India and Nepal in 1986, he and his wife moved to Germany where he began to write books as a freelance writer and offer freelance lectures. He lives with his family on an old estate in the foothills of the Alps where he has a large garden.
Storl’s books are unique in that he does not treat nature only with cold objectivism. He is able to delve into nature's depths and supports his experience with ancient lore from all over the world that has been, for the most part, left on the wayside in the wake of objective science. He theorizes that science is not always as objective as it claims to be. He invites his readers on a journey into a world of nature that is completely alive and has its own rhyme and reason. Myths and lore from many cultures also have a prominent place in his writings, as he claims that the images portrayed in this way often tell us more about the true nature of things than dry facts can do.

Ein sehr interessantes und schönes Buch über unsere fünf heiligen Bäume.
Inhalt:
Die fünf Bäume Birke, Buche, Eiche, Linde und Eibe werden in diesem Buch von Wolf-Dieter Storl auf verschiedenste Weise erklärt. Storl beschreibt die Mythologie, Brauchtum und Weisheit dieser fünf wirkungsvollen Bäume sehr klar.
Fazit:
Das Cover und der Titel dieses Buches haben mich sehr angesprochen. Fünf Bäume, die ich bei meinem fast täglichen Wald-Spaziergang erleben darf, werden in diesem Buch von verschiedenen Perspektiven beschrieben. Storls fundiertes Wissen über die Bäume, hat er in einem interview-artigen Schreibstil niedergeschrieben, was mich zuerst ein bisschen irritierte, da ich auch die geschriebenen Worte als Melodie der Bäume sehe. Nachdem ich meine Leseart nur auf das inhaltliche fokussiert habe, eröffnete sich mir der Inhalt und die Schönheit dieser fünf Bäume. Ich gehe nun viel bewusster in den Wald und meditiere und genieße die wunderbare Energie dieser Bäume.
Danke für dieses wunderbare Buch!
