Tree breathing

[Emy]

Oki

Here is a little ritual that is so easy and yet rather reviving :) I call it breathing with a tree...

Sit or lay down, I prefer to do this outdoors but you can do this indoors aswell. If you are outdoors pick out a tree, and sit next to it, lean your back against it.

Relax, breathe deeply...

close your eyes...

Let every breath you breathe in go all the way down to your feet, feel yourself growing roots into the ground, deep into the earth... Everytime you breath in, breath in the earths power, and all the way thrue you and up in the sky thrue your head, as if you had a tree crown there... breath in thrue your tree crown, all the powers of the skies above, and all the way inside you, and breathe the power out into your roots... than you start over breathe in the earths power thrue your roots, and breathe it out thrueyour head, take the sky with you in your next breath in, breath out thrue your roots in the ground...

Keep doing this until you feel calm and relaxed and sort of cleansed and revived...

Before you stop breath you roots back from the earth and your tree crown back into your head... that is with every breath you bring up your roots and bring in your tree crown...

Relax a bit before going back to your ordinary life... :)

Good luck

Yes, thank-you Emy.

I've been doing this each day since you posted it. What a beautiful way to deep breathe! I especially like it because I'm a tree lover. :p

I have not done this meditation in a long time. I'm so glad you reminded me of it. At lunch today, I went outside & did this & it was great! It was so hard to pull back together & go back to work. :D I think this afternoon was the longest afternoon ever! :bad:

This is a wonderful meditation, and you just don't want to pull your "roots" back up... you just want to stay like that for a looong time...

This meditation helps me a lot, I am afraid I don't always have my feet on the ground, well I have lots of energy sometimes, and I want to do everything, and this meditation really calms me down, and gets my feet back on the ground :)

So Emy, how deep do your druidic roots go? 8O ;) This is a ritual that I do every week to renew my kinship with the Earth and prepare me for the days ahead. To commune with the wisdom of the trees, absorb the shear power of the earth that has fed them for hundreds of years. To listen to the sigh which is their voice. This is music to the druid. It is the dance with which we weave our knowledge to the lifefoce that runs all things on this world.

Welcome to the magick of the woods folks. ;)

Peace,
Twig

Well I love to do this little meditation/ritual thing as often as possible... however it hasn't been that often lately... It feels just great to let your "roots" grow deeper into the earth... :)
