Children of Mother Nature
Trees and People

by Madisyn Taylor

We can be more like trees opening our crown to the Universe and 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 and opens to the sky above, seeking nourishment from the sun and the moisture in the air and 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 and water we need to survive and thrive. Both trees and people serve as conduits for the intermingling of the opposite and complementary elements of air, water, sun, and earth.

We also share creative ways of growing, regardless of the challenges we come up against in our environments. Trees will even grow through rock, shattering it, in their effort to reach the air and light they need to survive. We are similarly resilient, with a built-in propensity for growth and the conditions that promote it. We find creative ways around the obstacles we confront as we move along our paths, moving toward the light that feeds us, just as trees grow around other trees and rocks as they make their way upward.

Contemplating the ways in which trees and people mirror one another brings us into alignment with the reality that we are part of Mother Nature. Our children, and the trees and their children, will live together on the earth as long as we all survive, sharing the elements and serving together to forward nature's plan. Walking in a forest can be a meditation, the interweaving lives of all living creatures and the planet on which we all take root and reach for the sky.


DailyOM Course Spotlight

A Year of Color Therapy
by Tori Hartman

From a near death experience in the 1980s comes an amazing course from psychic, intuitive, and color expert Tori Hartman. Every week for a year, you will receive a Color Therapy Card lesson that can unlock the secret to manifesting your dreams, and prepare you for the journey ahead. Included with these cards are a series of colorful fables and the weeks ahead hold fun, miracles and experiences that will expand your world. The fables work because they are whimsical and fun; they are like a game that takes us through anything that may have previously stood in the way of spiritual and material abundance. No matter where you are on your path you will be able to revisit these lessons and gain new insight each time you experience them. You will receive 51 colorful lessons for the year, one per week. The final week concludes the course with applying your lessons in fully actualized form. Get ready.
