Earth Tree
Meditation
Take a deep breath and centre yourself. Become aware of
your breathing. See your lungs inflate and deflate. Become aware of the
trunk of your body. Just be the trunk of your body. Breath as the trunk of
your body.
Now think of the trunk of a tree. A big, solid, sturdy healthy tree. See the
bark. Notice the patterns. Imagine the feel of this bark. Does it have a
smell? Is the bark dark with rain, or it is warm with the caress of the sun?
Have a strong sense of this tree trunk, for you are going to place yourself
inside this trunk. Be inside that tree trunk. Imagine the safety of the bark
encircling you, protecting you, nurturing you, sheltering you from the
outside world.
Take the next step and be this magnificent tree. Be it’s solidness, be it’s
steadiness, totally unaffected by the world you have left behind. Just be
this tree. Be that trunk, proud and beautiful, be safe and strong. I am the
tree.
Now draw attention to your roots. Feel them thick and powerful, searching,
sinking into Mother Earth. Wallow into her nourishment. See her sending you
love and support. Respond back with your love and friendship. Rejoice in
this reciprocal arrangement of shared energies. She gives you food; you hold
her soil together.
Be still in this unasked for, but oh so willingly given support of each
other. Send down your wish for harmony and peace. Mother Earth will feed
this back to you.
Draw this peace and love up to your trunk. Your, oh so magnificent trunk.
Saturate your trunk with Mother Earth’s love for you. Think higher and see
your branches stretching into the sky. Explore them as your fingers playing
in the air. Send Mother Earth’s love out to your leaves. Send your love for
self out to your leaves. Feel them respond to this love. Happy, proud,
loved, honoured. See them kissed by the sun. Feel you reflect back this joy.
The wind comes into dance with you. It picks up this joy, does a giggle and
is off to share this with others. Oh life is good as a tree. No cares in the
world. Blessed by sun and tickled by rain, stroked by the wind and nourished
by Earth. Decorated with flowers or adorned by fruit, you are always
glorious and loved. Reflect this magnificence. Rejoice in it. Luxuriate in
it. You love and are loved.
Take a deep breath, capture this feeling and place it strongly in your
heart. Keep this feeling with you as you rejoin this dimension. The peace of
nature restores you, strengthen you. All is well with the world.
