Become a Tree
Become a Tree
By Aunty Catherine
Would you like to feel what its like to be a tree?
The next time you are in a forest or area that has lots of trees, go and stand beside them. If there is a large tree stump that you can stand on safely that’s even better. Let your legs and body become the trunk. Stand very still and don’t move your feet. Imagine that you feet reach right down into soil like the roots of a tree. Feel how strong you are.
Stretch out your arms so that they become branches.
Look at all the surrounding trees, are they swaying in the breeze? Try to copy them but be careful not to sway too much especially if you are standing on a tree stump. Can you feel what its like to be a tree?
