The Matriarch Tree Knows.

You are not separate from the power… you are the thing you keep looking for.

Trees.

I’m with my trees, and it’s sunset.

And I’m thinking about all the different things I’ve read about trees this week. They’ve been a highlight on Substack… but more than that, they’ve been a highlight in my life.

Because reading the words is one thing…
but carrying them with me when I come here, when I stand with them… it becomes something else entirely.

It becomes devotion.

It’s part of my daily devotion to self to come and be with my trees. Even if I don’t have time to stand with one tree, just walking through the woods… connecting my roots to the roots beneath me… that’s enough.

Because I know they’re all connected.

I feel it.

There’s a particular horse chestnut tree… the one I’ve shared before… the one I call the matriarch. She stands near the water, commanding space, presence… sovereignty.

And I know every other tree is connected to her.
You can feel it when you slow down enough.

That’s the thing.

When you slow down… when you let yourself drop into the pace of nature… something shifts.

For me, I slow my breath.
I bring my awareness to my heartbeat.
And then I feel that rhythm… not just in me, but in everything.

Nature moves to a rhythm.

And when you allow yourself to meet it… you realise you can too.

It doesn’t take hours.
It doesn’t need to be complicated.

You already have everything within you.

Because look at nature.

Is there anything in nature that doesn’t already contain everything it needs?

So why would we be the exception?

Why would we be the one thing that needs to outsource its power… when everything else is the power?

The trees are a force unto themselves.

And getting to know them over these past few years… I know this woodland intimately now. I feel the interactions between them.

I see the trees that have fallen… but not fully fallen… because another tree has caught them.

Their roots still in the ground… still growing… still thriving.

And when I stand near those roots… the energy is immense. It moves through my body… like a surge, like a drop on a rollercoaster… it gives me chills.

Even in falling… they are still rooted.

Even in falling… they become something else.

They create new spaces.
They hold new life.
They support in different ways.

How can you not be in awe of that?

How can you not recognise yourself in that?

Because that is what we are.

When you come into nature… everything slows down.

And I know for some people, that’s the hardest part.
Because when the body slows… the mind speeds up.

“I can’t do this.”
“I need to be doing something.”
“I need noise.”

I know that feeling. That used to be me.

Now I come here and it’s like…

I’m home.

Now I can exist at the pace that nature exists… because that’s what I am.

My innate nature.

And there is so much power in that.

The roots hold wisdom.
Connection.
Depth.

Every tree is purposeful… in its stillness, in how it takes up space, in how it grows.

And yes, they compete for space too… because they know they deserve to take it.

And still… they provide for everything around them.

It’s a community.

And my matriarch… she is something else.

She grows towards the water… when others don’t.
She sheds earlier than the rest… and she’s at peace with it.

She knows her role.

She knows what she’s here to do.

And she takes up space… unapologetically.

Nothing dares come into her path… and yet everything around her relies on her.

She is respected.

She is given space.

And when I stand with her… I feel it in me.

Sovereignty.
Power.
The divine feminine… alive in my body.

This is who we are.

And nature will show you… if you let it.

The message comes through me again and again when I’m here:

You are the medicine.
Nature is the medicine.
The medicine is within you.

And yet we are so conditioned… we don’t even realise how deeply.

Everything is designed to keep you busy… in your head… disconnected.

So the question becomes…

How much do you want it?

Because when I look at the trees… I see how much they want to grow. To thrive. To expand.

They will bend in any direction to reach the light.

No tree looks the same… even when they’re the same tree.

So why are we trying to be?

Why are we following blueprints that were never ours?

Nature is showing you… constantly.

But you have to be willing to listen.

You step onto the earth… and you feel her beneath you…

That is your connection to everything.

Visualise your roots descending into the earth… or feel it, like I do.
I know it’s happening. I can feel the energy move.

Build the relationship.

Speak to the trees.
Ask before you connect.

Because there is a difference when you feel into it.

Some days my matriarch feels spiky… and I know it’s not the day.

Other days… there’s warmth. A soft, open connection.

The patience they’ve shown me… as someone who once believed she was deeply impatient…

They’ve taught me the power of stillness.

Of allowing.

Of unfolding.

Because they don’t stop growing.

They shed.
They lose parts of themselves.
Whole sections fall away.

And still… they thrive.

Still… they stand.
Still… they expand.
Still… they are unapologetically themselves.

That is their blueprint.

And it’s yours too.

Surrounded by green… the colour of the heart… the frequency of it…

Why would you deny yourself this?

If you love yourself… why would you not return here?

These might sound like simple questions… but sit with them.

Why do I keep myself disconnected?
Why can’t I slow down?
What am I avoiding?

Because the truth is…

You are of nature.

You work exactly as nature works.

The same blueprint exists within you.

Everything begins as a seed.

And the oak is already within the acorn…

But the acorn has to crack.

Layer by layer.
Again and again.

Shedding. Becoming. Expanding.

And just as I say this… I can hear church bells ringing in the distance…

You honestly couldn’t make this shit up.

You keep searching for the answer…

while standing on it.

With sacred love and fire

Ami.❤️‍🔥💋

💌 If you’re ready to go deeper into this work…I am building

Sacred AF: The Field of Alchemy & Self-Mastery as a paid subscription.

I write things there I don’t share publicly…transmissions, readings, deeper inner journeys.
Not because they’re hidden…but because they require more presence to receive.

Subscribe if you feel it.

Or just stay, read, feel, and take what lands.

Either way… you’re already in it.✨

🔥 Support the work
If something here hit you…
buy me a deck and help me keep building this.

The roots already know the way…
you just have to stop running long enough to feel them.🥰
