Hello and welcome.
Welcome to this guided meditation and visualization.
On how to become.
More tree.
And I invite you now to gently settle in.
Either sit comfortably.
It as comfortable as possible.
Just.
.
.
Allow your body to soften into stillness.
Gently let the breath come and go.
On force.
I'm horrid.
And feel the ground beneath you.
Feel the support of the earth.
Holding you.
And begin to imagine roots.
Growing from your body.
Into the floor.
Into the ground.
Into the foundation.
Through the rocks and the dirt.
In the sediment.
Into the center and core of the planet.
Anchoring you.
You are safe.
Your health.
You are supported.
You are exactly where you're meant to be right in this moment.
And now I invite you to imagine you're walking into a quiet forest.
Air is crisp.
Maybe a crisp fall day.
And you hear the leaves rustle softly above you.
Flushing in the air.
And you come to a great tree.
Towel.
Strong.
Ancient.
And it calls you.
Gently.
Silently.
You walk over and you sit at its base.
Your back against the trunk.
And feel the energy of the tree permeating through your back body.
Slow steady.
Still.
And as you breathe,
You begin to feel your body dissolve into the park.
Take a deep breath in.
Gently let that go.
Your spine becomes the trunk.
Your arms,
The branches.
Your legs thick roots reaching deep into the soil You are now the tree.
Feel what it is.
To be deeply rooted.
Feel the slow pulse of the earth.
In the heartbeat of the Earth Mother beneath you.
Steady.
Ancient.
No need to rush.
No need to do.
Just.
And now you feel the wind begin to blow.
Your branches way.
You do not resist.
You let the breeze move through you.
Around you.
Over you.
Nothing to fear.
You are strong.
You are supple.
And as you feel into this tree being,
Begin to notice your leaves are changing.
They are turning brilliant colors.
Amber and gold.
Crimson.
And each one holds a story.
A moment.
A part of you.
And some are ready to fall.
With each breath.
You let a leaf go.
And on the inhale,
You say let.
On the exhale,
Go But.
.
.
Exhale go and with each breath you watch the leaves drift to the ground.
With that gentle butt.
Go.
Breath.
Watching them drift.
Not with sadness.
But with grace.
Each release lightens you.
Frees you.
You are not losing.
You are becoming.
The season is changing.
And you are at peace with it.
You are not afraid of the cold.
You are not afraid of the bare branches.
You know this quiet is sacred.
You know this stillness is where strength is born.
Breathe.
Rest.
Receive.
Breathe into this moment.
Rest in this awareness.
Receive all that you are.
As this magnificent tree.
And slowly,
Slowly you begin to return to your human form.
Slowly,
Gently.
The bark becomes skin.
The branches return to your arms.
The roots soften into feet.
But the wisdom remains.
Carry this tree self with you.
The strength.
A peace.
The deep trust in the seasons of your life.
And take one more deep breath in.
Long,
Slow exhale out.
Gently begin to move your fingers and your toes.
Gently roll your shoulders.
Stretch if it feels good.
And as we close,
Carry this with you.
Be like the tree.
Stand tall,
Rooted in who you are.
Let the winds move you,
Not break you.
Let go of what no longer serves you.
Trust the season you are in.
And when you're ready,
Only when you're ready,
I invite you to gently open your eyes.
And come back into awareness as this tree being presence.
Thank you for joining me for this practice and allowing me to be a part of yours.
And feel free to come back to this anytime you need the reminder.
Of how to be more tree.
I love you because I can.
Have a beautiful day.
Namaste.
