“To stay present in everyday life, it helps to be deeply rooted within yourself; otherwise, the mind, which has incredible momentum, will drag you along like a wild river.”
Eckhart Tolle
I really appreciated this gentle reminder to root into our being in order to calm the mind…. and so I’m paying it forward today 🙂

Whenever I am grounding myself, I often imagine I am sinking deeply into the roots of the tree, solid and unmoving. Eckhart describes this beautifully! Thanks Val 🙂 Have a grounding day!

Brakes are needed as well as roots! We need to check them regularly 🙂

Great quote and image. I have found the deeper my roots have grown the more creative I feel, the more inspired I feel, and the more ‘free’ I feel . 🙂

Thanks Colleen! Yes, when we are rooted we express ourselves more fully and are able to grow. It takes a lot more to topple us over as well 😉 Thanks for this insight!
