We can be more like trees opening our crown to the Universe & rooting down deep with our feet into mother earth.
A tree that is beginning to grow sends roots down into Mother Earth even as it reaches & opens to the sky above, seeking nourishment from the sun & the moisture in the air & in the rain that falls. In the same way, we can envision ourselves as treelike beings, imagining that we have roots reaching down into the earth, energetic strands that keep us connected. At the same time, the crowns of our heads lift and open to receive nourishment from above. Just like a tree, we seek the sunshine & water we need to survive & thrive. Both trees & people serve as conduits for the intermingling of the opposite & complementary elements of air, water, sun & earth.
