Chakra Tree Meditation
by Donna Thomson
I would like to share this special meditation that my guides led me through. They helped me visualise myself as a beautiful large tree and step-by-step they related parts of the tree to qualities of each chakra. The experience was very much about 'feeling', so I have only included the main concept my guides gave for each stage. The rest is a personal journey which you may like to try for yourself one day...
After seeing myself as a large tree, I was drawn to focus on the strong roots reaching into the rich red soil of the earth. Not only did I explore my own connection to the earth, but also the feeling of the red colour radiating out from the base of the tree. I took it all in and let myself experience that grounding, earthy connection.
Next, my attention changed to the orange 'sacral' chakra a little further up the tree's trunk. I felt this represented the tree's fertility - the seeds of the tree and its ability to regenerate. I saw an abundance of seeds being spread out around me and sprouting in the fertile soil. I also felt a sense of creativity and abundance in general. Again, I felt this aspect of the tree as part of myself and saw the orange colour radiating from the tree.
At the centre of the tree's trunk was the solar plexus chakra. I felt the golden yellow power centre of the tree pulling its strength from both the ground/earth it is connected to and the greater Universe all around. This was where the tree maintained its balance - its beauty as a part of physical nature and its spiritual connection to 'all that is'.
The heart centre focused on the green lush foliage of the tree that is shelter, shade, home and resource to many creatures and people alike. It is the nurturing aspect of the tree's being and the reason for it being. I saw a large pink beating heart and there was a focus on sending love to all things.
Next I felt the tree's connection to the blue sky above. There was a feeling of the importance to communicate truth and love as I saw the tree's blue throat chakra radiating out towards the horizon.
My focus then changed to the tree's third eye or brow chakra. I saw the radiating deep purple energy and felt a sense of 'insight' coming from within.
At the crown chakra I saw the tree's energy as white light flowing from the crown up and out to encompass the whole of the earth and everything in it. Then, out broader to the whole of the Universe - 'all that is'. This was a feeling rather than an image because to visualise this as a place is not to be 'all that is' - that was the feeling that came through. I saw/felt all chakras working together in their full capacity, radiating out from the tree.
After this, I felt a blue healing energy flow over me which gave a sense of completeness to the whole meditation. It was a wonderful visualisation and a great way to focus on the chakras and connect with nature all at the same time.
