Decision-Making Nature Walk Through The Tree Of Life

Welcome!

I am honored to guide you through this sacred walk today as you seek clarity around a decision in your life.

Find a comfortable position and gently close or lower your eyes.

We'll be taking a journey together through the natural world,

Visiting different landscapes that correspond to the wisdom of the Tree of Life.

Each place we visit will offer you a different perspective on your decision.

Begin by bringing to mind the choice you're contemplating.

Hold it gently in your awareness like a question you're carrying in your pocket without analyzing it.

Take three deep breaths and feel yourself beginning this inner journey.

With each exhale,

Step more fully into your imagination,

Into the sacred landscape of wisdom.

We begin our walk beneath an infinite sky,

Scattered with countless stars.

This is the realm of Keter,

Where all possibilities exist in perfect potential.

Look up at this vast canopy above you.

From this place of infinite possibility,

Your decision is just one of countless paths available to you.

Feel the freedom in that.

Whatever you choose,

Connection to this infinite source always remains.

Ask the starry sky,

What does my highest self know about this decision?

Listen with your heart for the answer rather than your mind.

Feel yourself blessed by this infinite perspective and begin walking toward the eastern horizon where the first hint of dawn appears.

You find yourself approaching a magnificent waterfall,

Its water sparkling with the first light of dawn.

This is Chokhmah,

The realm of creative wisdom and inspired ideas.

Stand near this rushing water and feel the energy of pure inspiration.

This waterfall represents the creative force that sparks all new beginnings.

Let the sound of the falling water wash through your mind.

What creative possibilities does your decision open up?

What new life wants to be born?

Cup some of this inspired water in your hands and drink deeply.

Feel creative wisdom flowing into every cell of your body.

Thank the waterfall and continue your journey along a forest path.

The path leads you to a quiet grove of old trees.

This is Binah,

The realm of deep understanding and patient wisdom.

Feel the stillness here,

The sense of being held by old trees that know everything.

Sit beneath the largest tree in this grove.

Place your back against its trunk and feel supported by centuries of growth and wisdom.

This tree has weathered many storms,

Many seasons.

From this place of deep patience,

How does your decision look?

What understanding wants to unfold slowly and naturally?

Feel the tree's roots extending deep into the earth and its branches reaching towards the sky.

You too are rooted and reaching.

Trust your deep knowing.

Rise from the tree with gratitude and continue deeper into the forest.

You come to a bridge spanning a misty gorge.

This bridge exists between the seen and the unseen,

The known and the unknown.

This is Dat,

The place of hidden knowledge.

Step onto the bridge.

In the mist below,

You can sense all the knowing you carry but have not yet brought into your consciousness.

Standing here between worlds,

What do you know about your decision that you have not yet admitted to yourself?

What truth is hiding just below the surface of your awareness?

Let this hidden knowledge rise like mist,

Becoming clear as it reaches your conscious mind.

Trust what emerges.

Cross the bridge with this new knowing and continue your journey.

You come into a vast sunlit meadow filled with wildflowers stretching as far as the eye can see.

This is Chesed,

The realm of boundless love and grace.

Lie down in the soft grass and feel held by infinite love.

Here,

There is no judgment about your decision,

Only complete acceptance of whatever you choose.

From this place of unconditional love,

How does your decision look?

What choice would you make if you knew you were completely loved no matter what?

Feel this meadow's endless love filling your heart.

Let it expand to embrace all possible outcomes of your choice.

Stand up,

Carrying this love with you,

And walk towards the rocky hills in the distance.

You find yourself at the edge of a magnificent canyon with steep red walls.

This is Kivora,

The realm of sacred boundaries and divine strength.

Stand at this cliff edge and feel the power of saying no when no serves love,

Of setting boundaries that protect what matters most.

Looking out over this vast canyon,

Consider your decision from the place of healthy limits.

What would you choose if you honored your true boundaries?

What does sacred strength counsel you to do?

Feel a solid rock beneath your feet.

You have the right and the power to make choices that honor your well-being and values.

Turn from the canyon edge and walk toward a beautiful garden you can see in the valley below.

You enter a perfectly balanced garden where every element exists in harmony with every other element.

This is Teferi,

The heart center where all energies find their perfect balance.

Sit beside the fountain at the center of this garden.

Feel the perfect flow between giving and receiving,

Action and rest,

Expansion and contraction.

From this place of divine balance,

Consider your decision.

How can you choose in a way that honors both your needs and the needs of others?

What choice creates the most beautiful harmony?

Drink from the fountain and feel perfect balance flowing through you.

Rather than choosing from extremes,

You can find the middle way that serves everyone.

Leave the garden and walk toward the sound of celebration in the distance.

You climb to the peak of a mountain where victory flags wave in the wind.

This is Netzach,

The realm of persistence and triumphant will.

From this mountaintop,

You can see far into the distance.

Feel the energy of never giving up,

Of persisting in what matters most.

From this place of victory consciousness,

What decision would help you triumph over obstacles?

What choice aligns with your deepest values and refuses to compromise what matters?

Feel the mountain strength flowing into your legs,

Your spine,

Your resolve.

You have the power to persist in whatever path you choose.

Begin your descent toward the quiet valley below.

You find yourself in a peaceful valley where a gentle stream flows.

This is Hod,

The realm of grateful acceptance and humble wisdom.

Kneel by this stream and see your reflection in the clear water.

Feel gratitude for all the experiences that have brought you to this decision point.

From this place of humble wisdom,

What are you grateful for regardless of what you decide?

What choice honors both your aspirations and your acceptance of what is?

Cup the water in your hands and feel gratitude flowing through you.

Sometimes the wisest choice is the one made with the most gratitude.

Follow the stream as it flows towards a moonlit lake.

You arrive at a still lake reflecting the full moon.

This is Yesod,

The foundation where dreams begin their journey towards reality.

Sit by the water's edge and look at the moon's reflection.

This is the realm where all manifestation begins,

Where vision meets the first stirrings of form.

Gaze into the moon's reflection and ask,

What does my decision need in order to manifest in the most beautiful way?

What foundation does your choice require?

Feel the moon's gentle light blessing your decision,

Whatever it may be.

Your choice has the power to create new realities.

Rise from the lake and walk the final path towards home.

You find yourself in a place in nature that feels most like home,

Perhaps a favorite tree,

A special rock,

Or your own backyard.

This is Malkut,

Where spirit meets earth,

Where decisions become actions.

Place your hands on the earth here.

Feel your connection to the physical world where your decision will be lived out.

From this grounded place,

Knowing that you'll need to live with and act on your choice,

What feels most true?

What decision can you make with your feet planted firmly on the earth?

Feel the earth supporting you completely.

Whatever you choose,

You have the ground beneath you and the wisdom of this entire journey with you.

Take a moment to honor this entire journey you've taken.

You've consulted with the wisdom of infinite possibility,

Creative inspiration,

Patient understanding,

Hidden knowing,

Boundless love,

Sacred boundaries,

Perfect balance,

Triumphant will,

Grateful acceptance,

Foundational dreaming,

And grounded earth.

From this place of having received counsel from all these aspects of divine wisdom,

What feels most true about your decision?

It's okay if you don't know everything right now.

What is your next best step?

Thank each place you visited for its gift of perspective.

Feel yourself carrying all of this wisdom back with you as you prepare to return to your everyday awareness.

Take three deep breaths,

Feeling your connection to your physical body,

To the room around you.

Wiggle your fingers and toes,

And when you're ready,

Gently open your eyes.

Know that the wisdom of this entire journey lives within you now.

You can return to any of these places whenever you need their particular guidance.

Trust the knowing that has emerged and take your next step with confidence.

Your decision will unfold in perfect timing,

Guided by all the wisdom you carry.
