You are the Tree of Life

peace and enlightenment

While the human body has often been referred to as the tree of life, it is certainly not the true essence. We cannot be defined by our physical appearance anymore than one would look at a tree and make assumptions based on its tall stature or the size of its trunk.

That being said, our life experiences are often times compared to the branches of a tree, in the sense that they shape us, but in all honestly, they do not. Just like you can’t judge a book by its cover, you have to simply delve into it, to truly know its true meaning.

One of the best ways to find ones inner self is by meditating. A safe haven where you can’t be torn up by lifes set of circumstances or be judged by others. It’s only when we truly take time to find out who we are that we can achieve just that, without letting outside influences in.

Take the time to get the root of your own tree of life. It’s there that you will find peace and enlightenment for true spiritual growth in this sacred journey we call life.
