  1. Find a nearby tree in a quiet outdoor space. Stand or sit comfortably in front of the tree, facing it.
  2. Take a deep breath in, visualizing the pure, life-giving oxygen from the tree filling your body with energy and vitality.
  3. As you exhale, visualize the carbon dioxide being released from your lungs and into the tree, as a gift of life energy to the tree.
  4. Continue to breathe in this way, inhaling the tree’s oxygen and exhaling your carbon dioxide, as a way of exchanging energy with the tree.
  5. As you breathe, visualize any negative energy in your body being released with each exhale and being transformed by the tree into pure, positive energy, universal love.
  6. Visualize the tree sending this love and positive energy back to you with each inhale, filling your body with a sense of peace and joy.
  7. As you exhale, the tree inhales. As you inhale, the tree exhales. Continue this cycle for a few moments.
  8. Allow yourself to be present in the moment, fully immersed in the exchange of energy with the tree, feeling a sense of balance and connection with the natural world.
  9. After you finish, take a moment to reflect on the experience and how it made you feel. Consider sharing this technique with others, so they too can experience the transformative power of the Tree Breath Meditation.
