A Tree Meditation

Find a peaceful place where trees are growing
Look around, orienting yourself with the sun and moon
Look to the four directions and ask for and give a
blessing to the spirits for joining you
When you feel you are attune with the
energies around you, close your eyes
Become aware of your feet,
how they feel resting against the earth
See them extending and growing down into
the earth, anchoring you as the tree's root
anchors the tree....feel the water beneath
the earth as your roots drink of it and the
magnetic powerful energies of the earth
When you are secure in the knowledge
that you are fully anchored, leave the roots
and bring your awareness up towards the
trunk of your living tree, feel the sap running
through you, the living blood of the tree
Feel your awareness of the wind and sunlight
Move up as you become aware of your highest
branches, feeling your leaves turn towards the light
Feel the wind gently swaying your branches in the air
Feel your connection from the roots to the highest
branches, stretching up towards the sky
Feel the energies around you, open yourself up to the
God/desses and faiths, as they move around you
Feel your spirit engaging and bringing the other
four elemental spirits together
Listen as the tree spirits communicate with you
When you are ready to end the meditation,
reverse the process, retracting your branches,
through your trunk, and finally your roots.
Thank the spirits and bless them for their help and presence.
Go forth with a new awareness for life, love,
friends and the Trees :)
Blessed Be!

Another Tree Mediation

Find a place with lots of trees.
Hike as far away from other human beings as possible.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
Shift the focus of your attention to your desire
to connect or identify with a tree.
When you are ready, start walking through the trees.
Try not to look specifically at the trees.
Let your eyes go out of focus.
In a while, you will find yourself
attracted to a particular tree.
You will feel its energy calling out to you.
Mentally ask its permission to make contact.
If everything feels right, approach it with your back.
According to ancient European tradition, our astral body is behind us,
and that's why we should back up to the tree
After you've put your back up against your tree
surrender yourself to its energy
To what part of your body does the tree speak?
Spend as much time with your tree as you feel comfortable
Thank the tree and pledge to protect it's brothers and sisters
on this planet and take your leave
Maybe it is a tree you can return to time and time again
Maybe it is just a one-time passing of energy
What ever the case, I hope you have a good experience
