Strong as a Tree
Sometimes we feel a bit unsure. This meditation helps you feel strong and secure, just like a big, old tree that stands firmly in the ground. When you imagine how stable and unshakeable a tree is, you can feel that way too. It gives you strength and confidence for everything that lies ahead.
How it works
-
Sit in a place where you feel comfortable. It can be indoors or outdoors. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths in and out.
-
Imagine you are a big tree. Your feet are the roots that go deep into the earth. Feel how they hold you firmly and give you strength.
-
Your body is the trunk. It is straight and strong. No matter how hard the wind blows, you stand tall.
-
Your arms and hands are the branches and leaves. They move in the wind, but you, the tree, remain steady and secure.
-
Breathe deeply and feel the wind blowing through your leaves. Exhale and feel your roots pulling you deeper into the earth.
-
When you feel strong and secure, slowly open your eyes. Every time you feel unsure, remember how strong and powerful a tree is, and remind yourself that you can be just as strong!
