Become A Tree… Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Close your eyes and visualize
that you are a growing tree
Your arms are the branches
Your torso is the trunk…
Your feet are the beginnings of roots

Visualize standing near the sound of waves
Focus and sense the caressing of the breeze
Slow your mental activity and breathe...
feel the comfort of the warmth from the sun
Smell the freshness of the rain cleansed air

Feel an upward stretch from the top of your head
Absorb the natural powers of your surroundings
Shed your insecurities as though they were leaves…
let your roots grow to the center of the earth
Let them continue to multiply and create an anchor

Become the energy of the earth, sun, air, and sea
Empowered yourself and rejuvenate gradually
Feel an inner presence of nature and energize
Lift your limbs and branches, embracing the sky...
open your eyes and relax... continue with your day
