Trees are a gateway to our otherworld connections. In this episode, we discover that the yew tree is THE tree that has universally symbolised this for thousands and thousands of years. To support our findings, in our ongoing tree-talk segment, we discover that the yew tree has a hollow. The hollow of the tree continues to pop up on the show and it continues to become a serious contender as a natural solution to clearing your thoughts and get your emotions back on track. Finding a local walk with a tree hollow, en-route, would be a great way to clear the pathways of the mind and stay on track!
