Historic Pasadena Oak -- An Inspiration?

When I first discovered this oak,  I was walking in Eaton Canyon and had veered onto a side trail.  It was warm out, so I walked under a shady oak and stopped for a moment to enjoy the shade.  In the comfort of the shade I took the time to look around at what had made this almost gazebo-like spot.  There was green thriving oak all around and over me.  There was plenty of space underneath the tree to stand or sit on one of it's limbs.  At first it looked like a tall strong oak tree with several limbs that were growing along the ground.  Check out the video about this oak on my youtube site.

A second look brought into focus what was really here.  This tree had been totally uprooted, well not totally, but 85-90% of it's root base had been pulled out of the ground and the tree that was attached to that root was lying on the ground, which is what made such a wonderful seat.  And yet it was alive, and growing still.  Thriving was an even better word to describe it. Green leaves on downed and skyward limbs as well as new spring shoots.  As I looked even more closely I realized that at the base of the tree, just above the root, two strong limbs -- 12" or so in diameter -- worthy of being called trees themselves, had grown out of the side of the downed tree straight up to the sky. 

"This tree should be dead."  I thought to myself, "Trees usually die when this much of their root is ripped out of the ground."  Obviously the oak did not have these same beliefs.  It should have been dead or just barely surviving.  Instead, in what seems like a barren environment, it grew two new trees as well as nourishing all the limbs that had fallen to the ground.  I just stood staring at the Oak realizing what a message it had for me.  Whatever happens to you, triving is possible and doable. 

On my second visit to the oak, there was someone sleeping under it.  It was shelter someone else.  Since then I've shown it to at least one other person.  Yesterday I visited it again and saw something new.

My friend the oak has a lover.  An equally courageous sycamore who clearly was upended at the same time lies entwined with it.  When you view the video of this sycamore, you will see that it fell flat on the ground and it's main trunk just began growing in the direction of the light and the sky.

Quantum physics shows us that what you focus on you get more of.  Thus, the focus on Thriving.  However, a positive focus is much harder to maintain if there are limiting beliefs that are catalyzed and amplified by the fears around us.

What if those limiting beliefs can be changed into positive ones?  That's what I do, assist you to change any limiting beliefs that are blocking you from your Life Wishes and Desires.  This is a quick and easy process.
