The Healing Tree

Hi it's me again with another meditation. I was trying to figure out whether to put this one in the previos section of the blog or in this one. But I decided that this one would be better here. I hope you enjoy it & find it helpful for whatever you may be facing.
Get into a comfortable position in which you can relax. Take a slow, deep cleansing breath all the way down into your belly and allow your eyes to close. As you breathe out, allow all of your concerns to drift away. There’s no place that you have to go of nothing that has to be done right now. Again, breathe in and allow the breath to come into the very core of your being. Exhale, and feel the calmness. Take another deep cleansing breath and slowly let go as you arrive at your calm center.
In your mind’s eye, picture a tree before you. A large old tree has witnessed many years of change around it. Throughout its lifetime, it grew bigger, stronger, and wiser.
Feel the tree and notice the way that its bark feels. Also pay attention to the energy that’s inside the tree. Its strength is firm and quiet. It got its strength from understanding and wisdom. Allow the calm strength to come into your body and mind. Allow yourself to experience the tree’s life giving, healing energy. In the same way, you too, have this calm inner strength, which you’ll be able to call upon when needed.
The energy nurtures you and makes your healing system strong. This isn’t a force to be shown off so that the whole world can admire it. Instead the energy exists to make your inner self and your healing system stronger.
The quiet power of the tree gives you a sense of tranquility. It helps you to live with your changing body as it continues in the healing process. Be mindful of the energy that lies in the midst of the serenity. Give the calmness permission to this calmness to come into every part of you and notice it moving through you.
Touch the tree and the ground under your feet. Picture your legs and feet reaching down into the earth where the rich dark soil is. Visualize your feet coming together with the tree’s roots. This same soil nourishes the tree.
I hope that you've enjoyed this meditation as much as I've enjoyed bringing it to you. I'll be back in a couple of days with a new one. Until then ~Nameste~,
