My Awe-Inspiring Tree

My giant, strong, unwavering, evergreen, oak tree stands around 70 metres high and 20 metres wide. Its thick, wise, aged, yet healthy branches sway quietly and gently, carrying green, fresh, perfectly shaped foliage. There is busy, coordinated activity from the animal and insect kingdom, which my tree houses, all living together in perfect harmony.

Just like an old grandfather soul, the patient, resilient, calm energy my oak tree emanates, assures me there is never any need to worry. All really IS well and will always be. It mirrors my own neglected strength and buoyancy, gently nudging to appropriately rise above, conquer, let go of or ignore all I see as anxiety and fear provoking issues. I am reminded I carry all the tools within to succeed in this quest and to experience serenity. I feel I am to stand tall, hold my head high and walk forward fearlessly.

I follow the enormous, thick root system, which spreads evenly away from the sturdy tree trunk, forming a circumference of around 15 metres. The roots above ground are in parts scarred, spotted, freshly wounded, a little deformed and discolored, however there is no need to question their strength and reliability.

I dive underground to find extensive feelers, spreading horizontally and only perhaps half a metre deep. The outgrowth is a mixture of knots, of overlapping, sometimes free flowing and again often scarred or uneven and wrinkled: a collaboration and perfect balance of sorrow and joy, manifested into physical form over the tree's longevity. I also feel I don't rightly appreciated or acknowledge the magnificence of my beautiful tree's roots, only predominantly admiring the tree itself. This dependable, precious rootstock, after all, feeds my tree and gives it life.

I shine beautiful, emanating light from the heavens to encompass the roots with the intention to send love, appreciation and admiration. With this, the amazing underground tentacles glow, stretch, untangle and straighten right before my eyes, as if vibrantly waking up to a new day.

I feel re-energised and confident, and most importantly, reminded I am more than capable of handling anything and everything that comes my way. My physical tenseness has subsided and I am grounded and balanced. My worries have not magically disappeared, but I now view my concerns through fresh eyes and in a different light. I feel taller and with a new, positive, clear mindset. I am invincible at this moment and filled with enthusiasm. I send heartfelt thanks to my beautiful, awe-inspiring, monumental tree.
