Tree Meditation

You can lie down, sit or stand for this meditation. Standing helps me get the fullest effect. Close your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so. Clear your mind of all your worries and all your troubles. You are right here, right now, and nothing else exists at this current moment. The only thing you are aware of is your breath, flowing effortlessly in.... and out, in.... and out. When a thought comes into your mind, say to yourself: nothing but me exists in this moment, nothing matters at this moment. I detach myself, just for this moment, from everything. The only thing I notice is my breath.  As you clear your mind, and release your stress, you feel yourself relaxing more and more deeply.

Focus now, on your feet. Imagine them barefoot and on the earth. You can see yourself standing in the grass, in the mud, in the sand, whatever setting makes you feel more connected with the great Mother Earth. You feel this connection growing stronger and stronger, as you spread your toes out, and feel your energetic roots grow downward from your feet. Deep, deep down into the earth, growing longer and branching out in order to absorb more of the earth's energy. Feel the beautiful earth energy moving up through your roots, through your feet, into your legs, and filling your body with motherly love.

Now, raise your arms high above your head, and spread your fingers out. Your arms and hands are branches and twigs. There are glorious, green leaves hanging all up and down your branches. The most brilliant green leaves you've ever seen sparkle and twinkle in the sunlight, as they absorb the radiant energy of the sun. Feel the photons move in through the leaves, into your fingers, through your hands, down your arms, filling your trunk with brilliance and fatherly love.

Now, imagine the two energies, the cool, motherly earth energy and the warm, fatherly sun energy combining within yourself, within your trunk, up and down within your roots and branches. These energies combine to create pure, white light, the light of love and happiness and healing and all that is good. This light shines brighter and brighter, until you it radiates from you. It flows back down your roots to give thanks to and replenish the good mother. It flows out of your bark and leaves, into the environment. The light energy radiates far and wide. Everyone that comes into contact with this divine energy, will be affected in a wondrous way.

Bask in this amazing feeling that you are in right now. Remember how if feels, remember in your mind, remember in your heart, remember in your muscles, remember in your soul. This is the feeling of divine vibration. This vibration is so strong that it cannot be weakened or broken, as long as the intention is there. As you go through your day, stop from time to time, and remember the power of the tree. Feel your roots in the earth, pulling her loving energy. Feel your leaves catching the warmth and light of the sun. Feel this energy combine and ignite, and feel it radiate out to benefit everyone. You have the power within yourself. The time is now to spread the love. Namaste, friends.
