Welcome to this tuning in to the wisdom of the trees for increased resilience and balance meditation.
Trees teach us many things and one of them is resilience.
We are made from the same molecules and atoms as the earth and the seeds which turn into seedlings and then big beautiful trees.
And so in this meditation we will open to the wisdom of the trees and allow a sense of oneness with their ease and grace and the way they beautifully balance the feminine and masculine energies of strength,
Structure,
Rigidity,
Flow and acceptance.
We plant roots and we sprout from the ground one strong trunk and then as we grow branch off slowly into more directions and out into many finer branches and leaves.
Perhaps these branches represent the choices and the connections we make.
Perhaps the strongest biggest branches represent the main areas of our life such as family,
Hobbies and fun,
Health and work.
Perhaps we believe if we have a strong trunk we can grow strong and tall but trees need wind to grow strong.
We need conditions and challenge.
The wind allows our roots to grow deeper.
We can be tested and tried and survive standing even stronger.
When we accept and bend to the ways of life we strengthen and become more resilient.
Inside a forest trees rely on other trees to withstand heavy winds.
So as you make yourself comfortable and close your eyes I invite you to sense the breath as it enters in through your nose.
And allow yourself now to take a big long deep breath in through the nose and release all the air from your lungs.
And one more big deep breath in through the nose.
And as you exhale you may want to visualize permitting yourself to release some old leaves that no longer serve you.
Allowing them to fall away as you make room for the new.
Inhaling newness and exhaling the old.
And continuing to breathe in your own time.
As you feel the weight of your body against the support beneath you.
Imagine your feet connecting with the ground and long strong roots growing down down deep into the center of the earth.
As you breathe in imagine you are tuning in to the wisdom of the vast network of roots below the surface.
And absorbing all that it knows.
You are connected.
You are grounded.
You are strong.
And as you breathe imagine you are rooted into the earth.
And you are a great magnificent tree with an abundance of bright shiny green leaves reaching out in all directions.
360 degrees.
And here you are.
Stable.
And at the same time feeling a gentle breeze swirling up and around you.
And it feels amazing.
And as you hold this image of yourself as a magnificent tree.
Consider a time that you came through a challenge in the past.
Notice what the conditions were of this challenge that you overcame.
And how you overcame it.
Consider the lessons it taught you.
And the abilities it gave you.
And consider the opportunities that arose as a result of overcoming this challenge.
And as you connect with that feeling of strength as the magnificent tree that you are.
Allow these affirmations to flow in and around you as you breathe.
I know my current challenge like the weather is temporary and not permanent.
It may affect my outside but not my core.
I move gracefully and sway with the conditions presented to me.
I embrace challenge with a calm and solid core.
I am flexible,
Strong and resilient.
I have overcome many challenges in my time.
And I will continue to overcome them time and time again.
I always stand strong.
I am strongest when I am true to myself.
When I am true to myself,
I allow others to know their own strength too.
I spend time in conditions that nourish me.
I willingly smile in the face of challenging conditions.
I know tough conditions enable me to grow and become stronger.
I am connected to everything around me.
I am supported by my network.
I am supported by the earth.
I am loved.
I am rooted deep into the earth.
I am a part of the earth.
I am a part of everything.
I am grounded and stable.
I am a balance of masculine and feminine energies and present both to the world.
I am strong and rigid and structured.
I am fluid and moving and flowing with the wind.
I welcome the rain,
Enjoy the sun and move with the storm.
I know the storm follows calmness.
I know calmness follows the storm.
I am part of this endless moving cycle of life.
I know each storm presents flashes of light.
I open to these flashes so I may carry the light for others.
I always bounce back.
I am connected to everything.
I hold the wisdom of all plants.
My roots connect to an intelligent network where universal intelligence is accessible to me.
I am universal intelligence.
I dance in the movement of the wind and life around me.
Time and time again,
Challenge comes and I kiss it.
I am supported by others.
I allow myself to depend on others.
I in turn allow others to depend on me.
I am connected.
I sway in the breeze.
I move with ease.
I am all trees,
Hundreds and thousands of leaves.
I will leave you for a few seconds of silence now and watch over you as you allow these affirmations to embed into your core.
I am going to take a deep breath now.
Deep breath now in through your nose and holding for the count of three.
Release.
And as you start to come back wiggling your fingers and your toes know that you are renewed,
Resilient,
Balanced,
Strong and ready to continue with your day.
When you are ready,
You can slowly start to open your eyes and come back into the space around you.
Thank you so much for being here,
Meditating with me today.
Lots and lots of love to you.
