For the grounding tree, We use our minds to connect our Earth Star Chakra and plug it into the Earth. Here's how to do it. You stand with both feet firmly on the floor. You can keep your shoes on and you could even do this on the 10th floor of a building if that's where you are. It's perfectly fine. The power of the mind will do the work. You imagine that you are a tree. You can keep your hands at your sides, By the way. You don't have to stand with them up like branches. You imagine that there are roots growing down from the bottom of your feet deep into the Earth. Just use your imagination. It's very strong and it really works to do this exercise. So imagine these roots are growing down from the bottom of your feet into the Earth and they burrow down farther and farther, Getting strong hold on the dirt and helping you be very strongly planted. And then you imagine absorbing Earth energy into those roots, Just like the trees absorb the water and the nutrients from the Earth. You are absorbing Earth energy up into the roots, And then it's rising from the roots up into your feet and your legs and traveling up your body, Filling it with Earth energy like filling the trunk of the tree. Imagine this Earth energy coming all the way up, Part by part, All the way up your body, All the way to your shoulders, Down your arms, Filling your hands, And then coming back to your neck and reaching up through your face, Through your head, And then reaching up from the top of your head for the sunlight, Reaching up for that sunlight the way the leaves and the branches absorb that, And then just bringing it back down, Down the crown of your head, Your forehead, Your face, Your chin, Your neck, All the way down to your heart where that energy plugs in with the Earth energy, And then open your eyes. That is the grounding tree exercise. Being grounded helps calm your nervous system. It takes you out of that fight, Flight, Or freeze mode and clears your mind while bringing you to the present moment. It's an excellent mindfulness practice as well.
