How I struggled with my Meditation Tree yesterday.
I tied strips of fabric into knots and sewed them on. I was halfway done, and it wasn’t right. The knots were heavy and dense. The weight of them daunting.
I only felt better when at the end of the day, I cut all my stitches and the leaves fell to my studio floor.
But what to do instead kept me up last night. I finally fell asleep with the help of a relaxation meditation from the Calm App.
It helped me to keep a clear mind even when I woke in the morning and went to my studio.
It didn’t take me long to see that my tree wanted branches not leaves. I pinned on the fabric and on the first try it was just the right size and created just the right shape.
I spent the day sewing the branches down.
When I was done I pulled out the strips of silk that I’ll use for the earth energy spiral. I pinned it under the tree, but I’m still playing with the size and placement.
I have a feeling that once that is sewn down, I have a better idea of what to do next around the branches of the tree.
