| Hugging a Tree |
by Madisyn Taylor Trees are among the world's greatest givers. Their slow and gentle life cycles provide the world with clean air, their roots filter water, and their majestically spreading branches provide shade. Full of vibrant, natural energy, trees can also give us the gifts of peace and nurturance. Hugging or sitting with your spine against the trunk of any tree can ground your body and inspire a profound closeness with nature as the energy of the tree connects to you. Making physical contact with a tree can help you relax, alleviate stress, sleep more deeply, and hold on to more positive energy. Trees can absorb great amounts of energy and have the ability to soak up harmful energy from deep within you. If you are feeling anxious, sad, drained, or tense, then try hugging a tree.
Go to the woods, a garden, or a park, and find a tree that you would like to hug. Stand next to the tree and close your eyes. Relax your senses while breathing in the scent of leaves and bark. Listen to the creaking of the branches. When you feel settled, open your eyes, keeping them unfocused, and walk around its trunk. Feel the unique energy of the tree as your auras meet each other. Ask the tree for permission to touch it. If you feel the tree saying yes to you, begin breathing in its energy. Put your arms around the trunk and press your face to its bark. Embrace the tree for as long as you wish, feeling the roughness of its wood and the strength of its years. Relax into that strength and let the tree support you. You may even be able to physically feel a cyclical flow of energy taking place between your body and the tree.
You can sit with your back pressed to the tree for the same effect if you feel more comfortable doing so. Likewise, if you are seeking greater comfort, you may want to wrap your legs and arms around the tree, either at the base or by straddling a branch. Remember to thank the tree because by hugging your tree you are drinking from the well of natural copious energy cultivated by the tree's many years on this earth. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Erika Flint Are you noticing that you're relying on food or alcohol to help you unwind at the end of your day ? What if I told you there was another way that didn't involve drinking alcohol, eating food, or even attending a traditional happy hour? And that it would not only help you to unwind and feel good but also help you lose weight, sleep better, and feel better about everything in your life? I'm Erika Flint, a best-selling author and award-winning hypnotist, and once I learned the art of hypnosis and how it could help me, I stopped relying on happy hour after work to unwind. I stopped buying the fattening food at the grocery store to feel better after a stressful day at work. What I didn't expect was that my sleep improved, I stopped overeating in general, and I felt like I had more time because I had more energy and mental clarity. This is what this course is all about - showing you how to unwind, improve your health, enjoy every day of your life (not just the weekends) and have more quality time by learning to harness the power of hypnosis. Imagine coming home from a stressful day at work, and feeling better in as little as 12 minutes. Feeling more relaxed, more focused, and happier - not from that beer or glass of wine, or that pint of ice cream - but from powerful hypnosis. Start living an optimized life now.
