Standing meditation

under big beech tree

Please stand in a big circle, and give each other some space, small people in front.

Could you please close your eyes and just be in touch with the ground. Feel the earth under your feet, even through the soles of your shoes. --- And allow yourself to arrive here, everybody on their own, just being grounded like a tree. --- Imagine that you ARE a tree, a big, wonderful tree, with strong roots going down into the earth … , spreading out deeper … and deeper. --- You are standing firm as a tree, nothing can shake you too much. – Allow your body to shift slightly sideward - to the left, to the right … , and back and forth … , enjoying these soft movements.--- And now lift your arms just a little bit and allow your fingers to move, to dance like leaves, so that your whole body becomes responsive with small movements, and you can connect your heart to what is around you. ---

Just stay for a while transparent like this to the environment. -----

And now, still with eyes closed and no speaking, open yourself to the world of SOUND. -----

And now, slowly open your eyes, and just quietly WATCH the leaves of the trees, light and shadow, shades of colors, movements – just open yourself with all senses to what is alive in the woods. -----
