Trees

Description: 
Spend some time, five or ten minutes or longer,with a tree. Befriend the tree, look at it with eyes of wonder and awe. Lie or sit on the ground at the foot. Close your eyes for a few minutes and feel the tree’s presence and the earth
beneath you. Then open your eyes and gaze upwards through the branches. Breathe, be aware of the earthy scent, allowing  all your senses to be awakened: touch or hug the tree, absorb it’s calm, listen to it, speak to it, feast your eyes on the colors, the reds,greens,browns. Feel the luxury of lying on a bed of grass and/or leaves. Listen to the sounds of the birds, the breeze  singing through the tree.
 
As you absorb the tree’s beauty, power and magnificence, know that you also have the same potential to be deeply rooted in yourself and reach high into the sky to make your dreams come true.
 
Wherever you live in the world, use these suggestions creatively depending on your environment. If you can, plant a tree.
