A Year Within The Tree of Life
Getting the Most from the Work
The Basics:
With any course of study, you will only get the most from the study based upon what effort you put into it. With that being said, the study of the Tree of Life provides a unique opportunity for not only grasping the material at an intellectual level but also being able to directly apply the lessons learned from each of the spheres in such a way as to make the energies truly your own. How you process and experience these energies at the physical and emotional level can open up many other avenues for self-exploration and expression. The combination of tactile, kinesthetic and mental study are a winning combination for truly absorbing, digesting and then reaping the benefits of a sound spiritual diet. Here are just a few tips to get you started.
Establish a regular meditation practice using the sphere pathworkings-
Good- Read through the Pathworking once
Better- read through the Pathworking several times
Best- employ the physicality (Malkuth) of recording the pathworking in your own voice (which produces a recognizable neurological imprint inducing physiological response and imprint) to listen to.
Journaling- Carry it with you! and write down thoughts, ideas, connective bits of information, insight from your pathworkings and more. You will be surprised at how much floats through your mind during the day relating to the sphere work once the path is begun.
Enrichment:
Experiential creativity-
Color the spheres collage the spheres
Scrapbook the spheres
Free associate thoughts on the spheres
Beading- jewelry making- quilting- crystal Tree
