Energy Tree Meditation

Every Wednesday, 8-8:30pm

No log in. No zoom. Just pause, and tap in where ever you are.

  • Collective

    In forests, trees share water, nutrients, and even chemical signals through a vast underground network.

    This is nature’s way: giving and receiving, silently, beneath the surface.

    In Energy Tree Meditation, we do the same. Give what we have an abundance of. Receive what we require.

  • Tap In

    Pause.
    Sit, lie down, or simply place a hand on your body. No perfect posture required.

    Breathe.
    Deepen your breath. Let it drop into your belly.
    Soften. Slow down.

    Visualize.
    Connect with the ground beneath you. Feel it’s support. Let go of all your yuck, your mess, your stink. ‘Compost’ it into the earth (Mother Nature lovessss it <3)

    Imagine roots growing from your body into the earth.
    Feel them plunge into the ground as deep as they can go. Eventually meeting with the energetic roots of others in this collective. You are connected.

    Share + Receive.
    Offer whatever you have to the collective. Energy, love, steadiness.

    Receive what you need. Support, calm, clarity.

    Unsure? That’s alright. The system knows how to balance itself.

  • I Ching

    Each week, we look to the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text also known as The Book of Changes, to offer a reflection for our meditation.

    The I Ching helps us notice what’s happening in the world around us, and within us.

    We use it to:

    Set the tone for our meditation

    Reflect on the season and the rhythm of nature

    Offer a simple focus for awareness

I Ching: Hexagram 35 – Jìn (晉) / Progress


☷ Earth
☲ Fire

☲ Fire below, Earth ☷ above

Rooted deep in the body’s center,
your inner flame is the source of your essence.

This is the center.
This is where a sunrise blooms within.
Where the inner flame quietly radiates.

A sunrise never strives.
Never boasts.
Never doubts.

Fire represents progress. Inner light, clarity, illumination.
Earth represents humility. Receptivity, patience, nourishment.

This hexagram teaches that true success is neither grasped nor forced.
It is the result of inner illumination.
A natural, inevitable movement.

Like the earth yielding to fire,
the soft, receptive force allows brightness to rise internally —
without chase, without struggle.

Affirmation:

My progress is soft and inevitable, like the rising sun.

I Ching: Hexagram 32 – Héng / Constancy
☳
☴

Wind ☴ below, Thunder ☳ above

“You’ve been on this path for a while”, whispers the wind.

Gently nudging at your back, filling all the space between; wind permeates everything.

You’ve been on this path for so long that the duration of destiny is not persistency of ego or of the mind, but perseverance of following your truth.

Or rather: The truth.

Where ‘right’ becomes less of a rule, and shifts more into resonance.

Above, the drumbeat of creation claps. Where winds collide manifesting into sound. Where ancients murmur poetically that the end is just the beginning.

With the wind at your back and thunder overhead, you continue along. Destiny is like walking home. Not seeking, not forced. An inner continuity that surrenders, endures.

Like a heart that spans across time.

Affirmation:

I trust the gentle wind that guides me forward.
I honor the steady drumbeat of my own truth.
My path unfolds with patience and purpose.

I Ching: Hexagram 3 – Kuhn / Difficulty Sprouting
☵
☰

Water ☰ beneath Thunder ☵

You are standing in a puddle beneath a lightning storm. The air is electric. The ground is soft and slick.

You feel exposed. The chaos is real. There’s movement above and below. And you’re the conduit.

Rule #1: Best not to panic; panic creates harm.

Rule #2: This is not the time to sprint without discernment.

It’s time to observe. To feel what’s forming in the atmosphere, and within you.

The I Ching describes this hexagram as a ‘difficult beginning’, and it sure isn’t gentle.

It’s ambulatory care. Paddles to the chest. Birth through pressure. Electric newness surging; without stability, without control.

Rule #3: Step away from danger and confusion. Move with the plan you’ve been training for all along.

Not to fix, but to listen. Not to control, but to delegate.

Not to rush, but to remember: You already know what what to do. You were born for this.

Affirmation:

I move wisely in unstable ground.
I respect what I cannot control.
I wait for the signal to act—and I don’t miss it.

I Ching: Hexagram 52 – Kên / Keeping Still, Mountain
☶
☶

Mountain ☶ over mountain ☶.

A sign to align the mind and body in upright stillness. Standing in front of giants piercing the sky in awe, you become aware.

Aware of a stone shaped by time and weather. And it is just as alive as you. You become connected so deeply to your surroundings that time also stands still. Separation vanishes. You return.

“So that he no longer feels his body.
He goes into his courtyard
And does not see his people.

No blame”

You no longer seek outside of yourself, because you are not outside of yourself.

A mountain observing a mountain.

When faced with huge obstacles it is natural and very wise to pause and just simply exist.

There is a vow I often use for meditation, “Buddha’s path is unsurpassable; I become it”.

Wherein when we align our inner world with the outer world, as if the border of where you begin and end blurs entirely, the mind does not race. Stillness becomes a door.

Spine like mountain. Breath like clouds. This is exactly where you should be.
