When grief makes life feel unsteady, sometimes what we need isn't to "fix" the feeling - it's to find something solid to stand on. 

This guided meditation invites you to visualise yourself as a tree: roots growing deep and stable into the earth, a steady trunk at your core, and branches that can move with life's winds without losing their connection to what holds them.

Grief is a part of us - but it is not all of us. This practice offers a few quiet minutes to reconnect with the steadiness that's still there within, even on the hardest days.

This meditation is for you if:
🌳 You're feeling ungrounded or overwhelmed by grief
🌳 You want a short, accessible practice (eyes open or closed)
🌳 You want to connect to a sense of calm, safety or neutrality within. 

In this guided meditation, you'll:

• Visualise roots growing from your feet into the earth
• Connect to the steady "trunk" within your core
• Explore your branches - the more delicate, moveable parts of you
• Return to a felt sense of stability that you can access anytime
