Earth meditation 1: visualization
In a warm day sit in park, balcony or any nice place with a view to the nature and observe/ concentrate for at least 20 min on the trees, feel their life and living breath, observe the falling leaves, feel or touch their trump, see the difference between them, the different form of leaves and crones. You`ll feel the inner peace between them.
Earth meditation 2 :
Sit in a quiet place, close your eyes. Breath deeply. Then imagine you are sitting in a beautiful garden, surrounded by very colorful flowers: red, yellow, violet, pink, blue, green…in the garden there are many kind of trees: apples, pears, plums, cherries...They are in blossom and all nature is alive. Feel the light breeze coming from south…Feel the smells in the air. Stretch your hands up, and see how your fingers and arms roam in the air , transforming into a tree, stretching its leaves to the sky...Move them quietly left and right. See your body transformed into a tree, you have root in the ground, feel the safety the soil gives you, feel the liquids coming from down to your trunk and crone. Feel relaxed and stable. Say allowed or in yourself: i`m this tree of life, i`m unique piece of nature, with my roots I feel stable, with my branches I aim the high purpose in my life, with my leaves I have strong connection with nature and balance in myself. I have peace and success, and I achieve what I want with confidence, love and tolerance. –
