We tend to think our conscious, thinking mind is who we really are. But the Confederation compares the mind to a massive tree.
Your conscious, everyday intellect is merely the trunk and the branches, blowing in the wind of daily events. The true power of your mind lies in the roots—the deep unconscious. These roots reach down through your personal memory, into the collective memory of humanity, into the planetary mind, and eventually tap directly into the cosmic ocean of Intelligent Infinity. Meditation is simply the art of quieting the noisy branches so you can finally hear the profound nourishment flowing up from your roots.
☕ Today’s Micro-Practice: When your mind is racing with overthinking today, visualize yourself as a tree. Shift your focus away from the noisy branches of your intellect, and imagine sinking your awareness deep into your silent, powerful roots.
