NOTE: YOU NEED LEVEL THREE DENDROLOGY.

You don't need all the wind flutes to meditate. Place a villager in the middle of the flutes and he will sit down and meditate. Note that if anyone goes near the villager, he will be distracted. Wait until the villager stands up and has yellow dots around his head, then drag him into the pond (make sure it is soapy). He will then have white sparkles around him as well. Drag him to the tree and he will bring a beetle to the fire and the tree will be purified.

You dont need all flute to meditate !

It doesn't work for me... By the time they're done meditating and the lake is soapy and they're in it, the meditation goes away.

I had puzzle nine solved first, to bring more rest in the area then meditate, then take peep to the soap and let him make a bath, when bubbles push him in. when bubbles gone, take him out and to the tree

meditate with only 8 pipes.

Yea, you don't need all the flutes in place to meditate.
I did it with just 9 or 10.
Keep the kids away from the area while you're meditating, otherwise they will interrupt the person trying to meditate

getting your villager to meditate if you have a lot of children in the village: have a master parent teach the children in the nursery school and make sure none of the builders are clearing the debris.

I'm having a kind of similar problems maggiesmum...I had my oldest person in the village become pure of mind and body, and started him purifying the tree. Just as he got to the fire with the bug, he dropped dead of old age. Since then I can't get ANYONE to be pure of mind and body at the same time. If they're clean, they lose it as soon as they start meditating. If they're pure of mind, they lose THAT as soon as I drop them in the soapy water.
