Standing Tree Of Life Meditation

This brief meditation is first inspired by Bill Zuelke, Ignatian Spiritual Director and can be practiced daily to ground yourself in God's Love. It echoes other Tree of Life Meditations, though drinks from the Ignatian tradition as an embodied imaginative prayer practice. It is also deeply influenced by Resmaa Menakem’s somatic work and his book, My Grandmother’s Hands.

Through imagining yourself as a tree, you will be invited to briefly reflect on how it feels to be rooted, what has blown you around this season, and what nourishment you need in your life right now. If you are able, engage with this meditation standing in a place of natural beauty. Join me in practicing today!
