Seasonal Tree Meditation

when you are ready

stand/sit with feet slightly apart

feel your legs rooted deep into mother earth

and you upper body connected high into father sky

imagine your body is your favourite tree

become stronger with each deep breath

you are the tree spirit, dryad of your tree

the guardian of your community…

the animals, bushes, herbs, rivers, rocks

your arms are the branches

intuitively, slowly move your fingers, hands & arms

intuitively, slowly sway your upper body

 what can you feel, see, sense, hear?

visualise yourself through each season

expressing your gratitude after each one

Spring…

waking up from a deep sleep, new life everywhere

more light, arrival of birds, cleansing rain

Summer…

the warmth, the vibrancy, the activity, longer days

the connectivity of the community

Autumn…

the strong breeze, the change of colours, the harvest

seeds falling for the next cycle

Winter...

the silence, the calm, the serenity, less light

hibernation, resting, patiently waiting

when you are finished

gently move your legs with your feet still rooted

then stomp each foot on the ground

walk through your day

with with grace and gratitude
