🌲The Hidden Language of Vrikshasana
The importance of the tree, physically and spiritually, is shown in legends of ancient civilisations. Recognition of the powerful symbol the tree has been for centuries helps us to rise above self-importance and achieve a different perspective on life.
🌴Think of the symbol of the Tree and what it means to you.
🌳Spend 5-10 minutes working with the asana and observe how the physical position relates to the symbol of the tree. Keep your awareness alive through observing and feeling.
🍁Try practising the pose whilst looking at (or visualising) the symbol. What can that tree teach you?
🌿Reflect on the word ‘tree’. What thoughts and images come to mind? For example: bark, crown, fruits, shade, strength and so on.
Write your key words and associations down and then practice Vrikshasana with one of the key words in mind.
