Marina Abramović Recommends Tree Communication for Stress Relief

Marina Abramović, the 74-year-old performance artist, advises sharing problems with trees as a healing practice. She describes trees as intelligent beings with feelings that serve as silent listeners. This guidance is part of her 'Abramović method' for managing anxiety and trauma, aimed at helping artists achieve higher consciousness. Abramović learned this approach long ago while in the Amazon with native Indians, who would dance for Sequoia trees, among the oldest on Earth. She suggests selecting a tree in a nearby park, holding it tightly for at least 15 minutes, and pouring out one's heart. The artist is demonstrating these techniques during her Sky Arts takeover later this week. Her emotional coping strategies are being highlighted in this context.
