The Tree – Wood Element

From a seed to a sapling, to a fully-grown tree, a tree knows its own unique destiny…
It understands the direction it must follow to send roots deep into the earth for its nutrition and stability…
Likewise, the tree knows it must extent itself outwards and upwards to the sky to serve in the balance of nature, breathing in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. It has both a plan and a method…
A tree has the virtues of gentleness and peace, flexibility and a quiet persistence to fully manifest itself, bending in the wind, growing through or around obstacles…
Do I have these same qualities to see, plan and create a method to fulfill my own highest destiny?
I give sakash to all the trees and plants for showing me what I must do, to grow on my spiritual journey. Read the rest of this entry

Blue-Pearl Meditation Commentary

(Carmen Warrington with music by David Jones)
Close your eyes and relax.  Imagine you’re an astronaut, floating in outer space.   All around you is cool, black space, dotted with thousands of tiny stars, sparkling like diamonds.  You are so high up you are beyond the pull of gravity … enjoy feeling light, suspended in outer space.  You are light, and floating amongst the pretty little lights.  It’s so quiet and peaceful.
Far in the distance you can see a tiny blue pearl, set amongst the diamond stars.  That blue pearl is Planet Earth, your home.  A feeling of belonging draws you towards the Earth.  Come closer, till the blue pearl is the size of a ball, floating in space.  You could hold the Earth in your hands.
It’s beautiful.  Intricate and amazing.  Full of life.  The bright blue glow surrounding the planet is the sky, kingdom of the birds.  Look at the oceans, home to the creatures of the sea.  And the land masses, teeming with plant-life, habitat for all animal species. One balanced whole system.

Everything in harmony, everything connected.

Mother Earth is home for 6 billion human beings.  She is calling for your help.  What does she need to keep everything working perfectly?  Ask yourself: How can I help her and help the environment?  What small actions can I take to contribute to the future of Planet Earth?
It’s time to return to your day.

Gently, the pull of gravity draws you down, gently down; you sense the heaviness of your arms and legs.  Become aware of your surroundings.

Take in a deep breath, and let it out.  When you feel ready, open your eyes.
