The Gravity of a Tree Breath Meditation = Buddha + Isaac Newton + Sahguru
The tree breath meditation is a powerful tool that connects us to nature and helps us access deeper levels of insight and enlightenment. Its gravity can be felt by looking at the experiences of some of the greatest minds in history.
Isaac Newton, who discovered the laws of gravity, was said to have experienced a profound realization of the interconnectedness of all things while sitting under an apple tree. Similarly, the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and Sadhguru, a contemporary spiritual teacher, often speaks about the importance of connecting with nature through tree meditations.
By practicing the tree breath meditation, we too can tap into this powerful source of wisdom and compassion. So go outside, find a tree, and follow these steps:
- Stand or sit in front of the tree and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.
- Visualize yourself inhaling the oxygen that the tree is giving off as you breathe in, and exhaling your own carbon dioxide to feed the tree as you breathe out.
- Visualize the tree transforming the carbon dioxide you exhale into pure, positive energy, and sending it back to you as you inhale.
- Allow this universal love to fill your heart and mind, and let yourself become more and more immersed in the energy of the tree.
- Continue this exchange of energy, breathing in the tree’s oxygen and exhaling your own carbon dioxide until you reach a state of deep calm and connectedness.
As you practice this meditation, allow the gravity of the tree and its presence in nature to ground and center you. Allow the love and compassion you feel to inspire you to share this practice with others, creating a ripple effect of healing and enlightenment.
