One technique that can help you connect and refine your perception and as well as help compose the mind is Yoni-Mudra. Yoni- mudra is a Yogic hand gesture technique that represents closing the six doors of perception- the eyes (count as 2), nose, mouth and ears (count as 2); to enable the practitioner to disconnect with the outer world and connect with inner-world.

So, the root is the real strength of the tree which has tremendous strength and great instinct for survival in spite of being the recipient of all kinds of attacks and wounds in its lifetime.   It refuses to die instead chooses to heal itself very quickly and regain strength again. The sturdiness and resilience of a tree comes through nature by embracing nature’s law and is strengthened by drawing nourishment from the earth, sun, air and water.
