TREES AND PLANTS

1. Experience the inner life of a tree

• Imagine: A tree is behind your back – if you want, you can imagine a tree you know, but that is not necessary.
• Now take a few steps backwards as if you were going through the trunk of the tree. Aftergoing through the inside of the tree and finally stepping out of the tree, how does it feel?
• You can also do the same exercise with an actual tree. Stand a few steps in front of the tree and turn your back to it. Now take a few steps backwards and walk through the tree (imaginatively, of course!). What do you feel and sense after you have stepped out of the tree?
