Transcript

Thank you for joining in meditation today.

For this meditation I encourage you to be seated with your hips elevated on something like a yoga block,

Blankets or a cushion to ensure that you keep a straight spine throughout.

If you're lying down,

Try to keep your spine straight as well.

Take a few moments now to get settled into your posture.

Give yourself permission to let your thoughts unwind now.

Take your awareness to your breathing and become present through your breath.

You're now settling into this moment,

Breathing,

Relaxing.

Let's breathe here now.

And take a deep inhale and exhale.

If you haven't already,

Let your eyes gently fall closed and we will begin the meditation.

Now take your awareness to your neck.

Feel any sensations of your neck.

And now visualize with your mind's eye your neck as a tree trunk.

Sit with the first tree that comes to mind.

Feel this tree trunk,

Stable,

Strong and rooted on top of your shoulders.

See this tree trunk sending its roots downwards to wrap and spread through your collarbone and shoulders,

Just like the roots of a tree below the surface of the earth.

These roots now wrap and twist over your bones and muscles.

Now take your awareness back to the tree trunk of your neck.

And now feel this tree's energy growing upwards from your neck into your brain inside your head.

Your tree trunk then grows branches that grow out in all directions inside your head and your brain and then sprout leaves through the top of your head.

Now that your tree has been rooted and blossomed,

Visualize the entirety of your tree from the roots up the trunk and through the branches into the top of the tree.

Feel the entirety of your tree through your shoulders and collarbone,

Neck,

Head.

Breathe into this visualization and feel into the sensation of the tree in your body.

Now,

Visualize and feel the white gold light of the sun shining above you.

This sunlight sends warm energy to the tops of your shoulders,

Your neck and your head,

Just like the sunlight shines down on the earth,

The tree trunk and its branches.

Visualize these angles of white gold sunlight coming down to touch your tree.

Breathe here into the sensation of the sun sending its energy to your tree.

Feel the energy of the sun coming down to touch your tree.

Now,

We are going to circulate the pure energy from the sun throughout your tree.

This will help relieve chronic neck and shoulder tension as well as headaches.

It will help you interpret the communication from your heart more clearly and help you alchemize the matter and energy of your being into spirit.

Now,

Take your awareness to the tops of your shoulders and collarbone.

Feel the white gold light of the sun shining down onto your shoulders,

The roots of your tree.

Your tree's roots soak up this white gold sunlight and pull the energy through the roots and send it to the trunk of your tree.

Your tree trunk then continues to pull this sunlight energy from the roots up through the tree trunk.

The white gold sunlight energy then moves up from the trunk and into the branches and leaves throughout your head and brain until the energy finally reaches your tree top at the top of your head.

The white gold sunlight energy continues to ascend out from the top of your tree and you feel your branches and leaves growing longer and taller towards the sun expanding in all directions.

The sunlight energy then breathes outwards into the atmosphere just like a tree exhaling rich oxygen into the environment.

Now,

We'll circulate that energy again.

Bring your awareness to the tops of your shoulders and collarbone and feel the warm sunlight shining down upon the roots of your tree.

Your tree roots soak up this warm sunlight and pull the energy up to the trunk in your neck.

The energy continues to ascend up through the trunk and into your brain and head throughout all your branches and leaves.

The top of your tree now grows longer and taller towards the sun expanding in all directions.

The energy then exhales out your tree top and into the atmosphere around you.

Go ahead and do two more rounds of this sunlight circulation at your own pace.

Keep your awareness on the areas of your body that you are visualizing and where the energy is passing through.

The energy will flow where you keep your concentration.

And this time,

As the energy ascends from the trunk to branch out through your head,

Feel the energy also passing through your third eye.

To do this,

Keep your eyes closed and feel the space in your brain that sits just behind and in between your eyes.

Notice any sensation in this area as the energy cycles through your third eye.

This will help maximize the benefits already given from this meditation as well as help you transcend limitations of your consciousness and assist you in boundless growth as you reach upwards towards your highest self.

So go ahead now and take two more rounds of this cycle at your own pace.

And this time,

As the energy flows through your third eye,

Feel the energy also passing through your third eye.

And this time,

As the energy flows through your third eye,

Feel the energy also passing through your third eye.

Now,

We are going to reverse the circulation of sunlight energy through our tree.

This direction helps relieve head congestion,

Obsessive thoughts and overthinking and releases tension from the head,

Neck and shoulders.

It also helps to infuse spirit into the physical energy and matter of the body.

Now take your awareness to the top of your tree at the top of your head.

Feel the warm white gold light from the sun shining down on you.

The tree tops,

Branches and leaves soak in the sunlight as they draw the energy inwards and downwards.

The energy descends through each of the branches towards the center and flows into the tree trunk of your neck.

The energy continues to descend down your tree trunk and now flows into the roots of your collarbone and shoulders.

As the sunlight energy now reaches your roots,

Your roots grow longer and deeper,

Enriching themselves further into your body,

Becoming stronger and more grounded.

And now we'll circulate that energy again.

Feel the warm white gold sunlight shining on the top of your tree.

Your tree tops,

Leaves and branches soak in the sunlight and draw the energy inwards and downwards.

The energy descends through each of the branches towards the center and flows into your tree trunk in your neck.

The energy continues to descend down your tree trunk and now flows into the roots of your collarbone and shoulders.

Your roots now reach further and deeper into your body than before,

Lowering into even your arms and torso.

And now go ahead and take two more rounds,

Moving at your own pace.

And if you haven't added it already,

Pass this energy through your third eye as well.

As the sunlight energy comes down through the branches,

Let it pass to the space in your brain just behind and in between your eyes as well.

And then let it continue down into your tree trunk and then the roots.

So go ahead and take two more rounds,

Circulating the sunlight energy through your tree.

And now go ahead and take two more rounds,

Circulating the sunlight energy through your tree trunk and then the roots.

And now go ahead and take two more rounds,

Circulating the sunlight energy through your tree trunk and then the roots.

And now go ahead and take two more rounds,

Circulating the sunlight energy through your tree trunk and then the roots.

And now begin to release your visualization of the warm white gold sunlight circulating energy through your tree.

Begin taking deeper breaths.

And let your awareness focus on inhaling and exhaling.

Notice any sensations you are feeling in your body.

Now place one hand on top of your head and one hand on your solar plexus just below the chest.

Continue to take deep breaths.

Collect and gather any excess energy you just cultivated.

And store them into the upper dantian of your head and the middle dantian of your abdomen.

Take as much time as you need to gently come out of this meditation when you are ready.

And after meditation continue to explore the visuals and images you saw from your tree and the sensations you felt in your body so that you may enhance your self-knowledge and your relationship with nature.

Fantastic visualisation. Impressively tempered pace. Thank you

Headache, neck, and shoulder pain were relieved so I could nap. Sleeping has been difficult. So grateful! 💟

Calm, simple visualization with plenty of pauses to get into it. I felt artistically inspired by my experience. Thank you.

Concentrates on shoulders, neck and head which is great as that's where I get most of my tension. Greta visualisation . Thank you

Great visualization for directing energy

Just what I needed. Thank you!

Very thorough - will listen again when I have more time to just sit and meditate instead of doing dishes and meditating!!
