Meditation: Grounding the Tree of Life

Begin by sitting or standing comfortably, but erect. Breathe deeply and rhythmically.

As you breath, remember to sit erect, and as your spine straightens, feel the energy rising…

Imagine that your spine is the trunk of a tree…
and from its base roots extend deep into the earth…
into the center of the earth Herself…

And now you can draw up the power from the earth, with each breath…
feel the energy rising like sap rising through the tree trunk…

And feel the power rise up your spine…
Feel yourself becoming more alive…
With each breath…

And from the crown of your head, you have branches that sweep up and back down to touch the earth…
And feel the power burst from the crown of your head…
And feel it sweep through the branches until it touches the earth again, making a circle…
Make a circuit…
Returning to its source…

And breathing deeply, feel how all the branches around you, other trees, intertwine and the power weaves through them…
And dances among them, like the wind…
Feel it moving…
