   Someone asked me this before.  I'm not very good at describing
things right now as all I can speak from is experience.

   A tree's energy, or actually a forest's energy in general, feels
calm, cool, moist, thick, cleansing, *sigh* that's about all I can
translate into physical sensations.  It moves just as freely as one's
own life force does.  The way a tree wants to exchange life energy is
to absorb the "bad" stuff y you have and give you the "clean" stuff it
has.  Someone I know has experimented with this and has found that the
plants he exchanges energy with (giving them only the energies that
harm him) have grown much healthier that normal ones.  Apparently they
can use it for something.  As an excercise, try going out into a
forest and meditating or whatever you do to attune yourself to your
work.  Then as you breathe out, project all the negative energies you
have (not forcefully) into the surrounding area.  As you breathe in,
draw from the essence of the forest to replace the energy you have
lost.  Try to visualize all the energy manipulations you do.  With a
basic thransferr like this, you shouldn't hae much of a problem
getting it to work.  The forest might even help you some.
