Get comfortable in an undisturbed place.
Breathe through nose, if possible, filling your belly with the breath like a big balloon on the in-breath, releasing on the out-breath for three long and slow breaths.
Imagine yourself as a tree with branches and leaves reaching high, toward the sky, and roots extending deep into the Earth.
As you breathe into the belly, imagine the breath (even though really through the nose) coming up from the Earth, and through the roots and into your belly or the trunk of the tree.
As you breathe out, imagine the breath (even though coming through the nose) releasing from belly and out through the branches and leaves (your crown) into the sky.
Next in-breath, breathe from sky into the belly or trunk, through branches & leaves. Then out-breath through roots of your tree (you) into the Earth. Continue to cycle breath.
Your thoughts/imagination affects future thoughts. Bring positive affirmation statements in on all in-breaths such as "all is well", regardless of current life situation. On all out-breath release (just through intending) everything but affirmation statement from all aspects of you.
Many Blessings to you on your healing path as you incorporate the tree breath into your life.
How to heal your energy
How to hold space in one's consciousness for recognizing the current reality at the same time as the positive affirmation created in the tree breath? The first step for healing is to feel your feelings. Feelings are the stepping stone to healing!
Start out with current stressful or anxious situation.
Get comfortable in an undisturbed place. Allow yourself to re-experience this situation by feeling the stress for 3 minutes & telling yourself "it's ok for me to feel this way". Next, notice where you feel it in your body; a heaviness, pain, constriction or tightness, etc. and tell yourself "it's ok for me to feel this way" for 3 minutes. Try to separate the person or thing that is the catalyst, from your own feeling of "sadness, disappointment, fear, etc". Then, allow to bubble up a previous time you felt that way in your life, many times from childhood or adolescence and allow for whatever comes up. Acceptance is key here. Imagine yourself in a room with this younger you and let he/she tell you how they are feeling and what is happening. Notice decisions made at that time about yourself, the world and your community. Welcome she/he into your heart with all their feelings and difficulty. Do the tree breath. Repeat often.
Many blessings to you on your healing path.
"I'm doing my best and my best is good enough"
Even though we have intentions to feel this way throughout our day to day lives, the brain is wired due to past interactions and circumstances to have specific reactions, thoughts and feelings.
Can our brains be "re-wired"? The answer is, YES! Here is one way to begin that process;
After going to bed & before falling asleep, and upon waking in the morning, recall a situation within the previous 24 hours that caused you to feel as though you weren't enough, or inadequate. Allow a minute or two for you to feel that feeling and tell yourself "it's ok for me to feel this way". Next, using your imagination replay the situation in your mind except with a different outcome. Imagine having the reaction of "I'm doing my best and my best is good enough" in your mind in your do-over. Then imagine the results supporting that paradigm.
Many blessings to you on your healing path.
