Life Lessons from a Twisted Tree

Life Lessons from a Twisted Tree

A spiraling tree teaches profound lessons: Your twists from struggle aren’t flaws—they’re proof of resilience.
I’ve been sitting under this tree almost every day for months now. Meditating. Watching the kids play. Throwing the ball with the dogs. I’ve always loved this tree—its dramatic corkscrew trunk spiraling counterclockwise toward the sky, its wild branches reaching in every direction. But I wasn’t really listening to it.
I recently went deeper into the quiet, into my writing, into stillness—and the tree started to speak. What it taught me changed everything.
Look at the trunk. Really look. Surrounding this tree, straight, tall pine trees soar upward without a curve. But this one? This one spirals from earth to canopy, as if someone deliberately wound it while it was young.
But no one did. The tree did this itself. It had to.
Fighting for Life
This tree has been here longer than the neighborhood. Before these houses, before these lawns, this was dense Northern Long Island forest. For 25 years or longer, this tree fought for light through the canopy of older, taller trees. It bent. It adjusted. It reshaped itself, twisting and reaching toward whatever sunlight it could find.
Then the forest was cleared. The houses were built. Most trees were cut down, but not this one. Someone saw it and decided to let it stand. Maybe its unique beauty, its dramatic spiral made them save its life. The twist from its struggle became the very thing that kept it alive.
This tree—this survivor—now stands in full sun, but the twist remains. Permanent. Written into its form. And as I sat beneath it, barefoot in the grass, for the first time I could see my own story in its twisted trunk.
We all carry twists. Moments when life forced us to bend, to adapt, to find another way forward. We don’t always grow in straight lines. Sometimes our path spirals. Sometimes it takes decades to finally stand in full sun.

You Can Move
We are not so different from trees, but here’s one crucial difference: Trees are rooted. They can’t leave. If the soil is toxic, if the water is polluted, if they’re surrounded by shade, they have no choice but to adapt or die where they stand.
We can move.
If your environment isn’t nourishing you, if the people around you are draining your energy, if your community doesn’t support your growth, if the place you’re living keeps you in shade, you can change it. You can walk away. You can find better soil.
Trees twist because they have no other option. You twist when you choose to stay in conditions that don’t serve you.
That’s not resilience. That’s just suffering.

Roots, Water, Sunlight
We share the same needs with trees. We need roots—connection to the earth, to where we came from, to something stable beneath us. We need water—clean and mineral-rich, flowing through our systems. We need sunlight—not just on our skin, but in our lives: warmth, purpose, things that make us reach upward.
When we’re depleted—disconnected from nature, living under artificial light, breathing recycled air, consuming things that don’t nourish us—we weaken. We age faster. We break.
But when we align with what charges us? We don’t just survive. We thrive.

Bursting with Life
Look at this tree again. Most trees might put out two, maybe five new shoots per branch each season. This one? Thirty. Forty. An explosion of growth in every direction.
The struggle didn’t weaken it. The years of fighting for light, winding and bending and reaching—all of that made it more alive. More resilient. More full of life force.
The twist isn’t damage. It’s proof of commitment.
And here’s what the tree taught me: The twist is not a problem. The twist is your story.
Your struggles didn’t break you. They shaped you into something that can’t be replicated—something that stands out in a forest of straight pines, something worth saving, something beautiful because of how hard you fought to grow.
So, root yourself deeply. Reach for what warms you. Let yourself be charged by the things that give life: earth that provides stability, sun that offers warmth, water that gives nourishment, breath that fuels your life.
And trust that your path—twists and all—is leading you exactly where you’re meant to grow.

Why You Come to the Planet? The Holy power of your Sensitivity

Beloved beautiful Souls, Blue Ray, StarSeeds, LightWorkers, Empaths, Angels, and Angelics.
A new light is present on Earth, shifting your core connection and transforming the way you perceive light itself, igniting the essence of your Soul. As this harmonic wave interacts with your system, it may feel as if something at your core line of connection is being re-tuned.
These frequencies are ancient, wise, primordial codes—another evolutionary phase in our collective awakening.
This Light is more intelligible and conveys information that your body recognizes without the need for words, responding to it like a forgotten language finally remembered. It may be more recognizable, brighter, or more resonant in how it communicates in nature and through the light of others, unveiling new truths. It deepens your perception of who you truly are beneath all layers of identity.
You May Be Feeling Different—Who Are You Now?
You are no longer the person you were five or ten years ago—and perhaps not even the same person you were yesterday. A profound inner reset is unfolding. With each shift, you are attuning to a clearer, more refined expression of your pure soul essence. You are remembering, awakening, and creating the new earth energy resonance.
Ascension Symptoms and the New Earth
It is suggested to consult a healthcare professional for symptoms, as not every symptom is from ascension. And though it may be an ascension symptom you still may need assistance with the process.
The In-Between Phase of Waiting—The Sacred Pause of Becoming
You may feel yourself in an in-between phase—a quiet, suspended space where you sense a profound shift unfolding. Something is opening and coming together, like never before, though you are not there, and yet you know you are stepping into As you do not have all the pieces of the formulation yet, you are becoming it. It’s a higher knowing and trust that feels significant. This is why you may not be able to move forward or take action.
This phase invites you to let go of the old—old ways of doing things, old identities, old timelines—that you didn’t know that you could release or needed to till you got to this space.
Vibrational Shift & Soul Recalibration
Body energy adjustment needing the allowment of reciricuty of soul where your system shifts from old density patterns into a higher light bandwidth. During this wave, your energy body, aura, and subtle systems are undergoing an upgrade in light conductivity. This increase in luminosity creates a natural slow-down phase — a period where the soul requires spaciousness, stillness, and profound allowment.
Your body is asking for permission to integrate, not to push. To resist these quiet phases is to resist your own ascension embodiment.
Dream Time Healing
Experiencing situations from your past, these are patterns and behaviors that, as the increase in light is expanding them, are the lower energetic emotions that need a next level of release and awareness of clarity.
Not everyone will experience these at the same time; instead, they may occur in different waves as the influx of energy moves through the body and spirit. These sensations are part of a cleansing and recalibration, as your body and spirit adjust to higher frequencies to have greater sensory awareness and interdimensional access.
Emotional Sensitivity — A Gateway to a New Sensory Level
Out of nowhere simple situations could affect you deeply.
Emotional sensitivity and releases awakening realizations Heightened emotions, and spontaneous releases that lead to profound awakening insights. Your senses are expanding into a new octave, this is a gateway.
Tones and Ringing in the Ears that Come of Nowhere and then Leave
Timeline Shifting, Jumping and Going In and out of timespace
There may be phases when you shift in and out of various time-spaces, resulting in different experiences of time and experiences. You may do something and immediately forget you did it, or walk into a room and forget why you did. At times, it may seem to stretch longer, while at other moments, you might feel as though time has slipped away.
As your vibration rises, you move beyond linear time and begin interacting with quantum time—the multidimensional flow where your soul exists. These fluctuations are markers of ascension, signaling that your consciousness is no longer confined to the old density timeline.
Integration Waves and Timeline Choice
Waves of clarity followed by deep tiredness or need for integration and quiet time
You are choosing your timeline by your frequency vibration. This radiant soul-field emits new codes that naturally position you on a different timeline, one that resonates with your next level of purpose, clarity, and multidimensional expression.

9 Helpful Ways to Stop Overworking and Overdoing
9 Helpful Ways to Stop Overworking and Overdoing
By Sarah Bowen
Post on May 14, 2026
Daylight saving time kicks me in the rump every fall. As the days get shorter, the amount of time that feels available shrinks. Each year I commit to honoring the Earth’s not-so-subtle nudges to rest and rejuvenate. And most years, I fall short.
As my to-do list grows and my timeliness falters, everything starts slipping at once. My writing projects lag, students’ homework to grade piles up, and holiday cards sit untouched. I can’t remember the last time I talked to someone about something that wasn’t work-related. Even my volunteer animal advocacy seems overwhelming. What was once a reprieve from the workday is now the work of my life. I experience a predictable emotional cycle of guilt, shame, and profuse apologies to the people around me. “I’ll catch up, I know I will!”
Eventually, my deep, inner knowing—helped along, perhaps, by a whisper of grace—finally accepts the truth: I will not catch up. Something must be shed. A recalibration must begin. And that’s when recovery becomes possible.
We Are in an Epidemic of Busyness
We often describe busyness as a personal failing—bad planning, poor discipline—but it’s also a cultural epidemic. While Americans do not work more hours than any other nation (Colombia is currently the lead), we rank in the top third, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Microsoft Research reports that remote work, while offering flexibility, extended the average workday during and after the pandemic, as remote workers use evening hours as a “productive window for quiet catch-up.” We’re working more on the weekends, too. Digital chatting interrupts all hours of the day, leading to what they call “a culture of always-on responsiveness.” What’s more, the rapid adoption of AI has led to what Microsoft now calls “the chaos of the infinite workday.”
A boundary-blurred work-from-home life has fueled rising burnout rates, with job insecurity another leading factor. The American Psychological Association’s Work in America Survey reports that 38 percent of Americans believe their personal relationships are suffering due to work stress, and 44 percent have difficulty sleeping.
So it’s apparently not just me struggling with how to keep up. We’re a nation of people constantly flipping between “I’m fine!” and “I’m drowning!” unsure of how to get ourselves off a proverbial runaway train.
Start Setting Simple Boundaries
At some point, the body and spirit will stage an intervention. Change begins not with a grand gesture, but with a single honest question: What can I realistically fit into my life?
Start by renegotiating expectations—both yours and others’. Practice saying: “My bandwidth is lower right now; can we adjust the timeline?” or “I’d like to help, but I can’t take that on right now.”
People-pleasing often masquerades as kindness, but in reality, it’s a slow self-abandonment. Try replacing an automatic yes with a pause: “Let me check my capacity and get back to you in a few days.”
9 Ways to Reclaim Time and Balance
Build micro-boundaries, especially if you work from home.
- Start Each Day SlowlySet a 15-minute timer dedicated to your chosen spiritual practice. Whether you decide to partake in a sun meditation, recite a centering prayer, read devotional literature, or write nature poetry, you get to set the pace of how your body should function during the day.
- Set Focus Modes on Your PhoneFocus modes, such as Work, Rest, and Personal automatically turn on and off at precise times. Modes restrict which apps or people can notify you based on the priorities you set. (Google “focus time phone” for instructions for your phone model.)
- Be Inspired by Slow AnimalsObserving snails, manatees, sloths, and other slower-paced creatures can provide creative ideas for self-care.
- Ditch the Screens at Meal TimeEat at least one meal a day without looking at a screen. Ideally, this should be done while using actual utensils and while sitting at a table, not eating hastily over the sink or while hovering over your laptop.
- Create a Midday Check-inLook at your to-do list and judge what is feasible. If looking at your list brings overwhelm, call a friend and ask for help.
- Create a Shutdown RitualUse an automatic timer for the lamps in your work area. Set a prescribed time for the lights to turn off, creating a visible “done for the day” indicator.
- Say Out Loud, “I’m Stopping Now.”This simple verbal cue can work surprisingly well to interrupt the compulsion to keep going.
- Practice the One-Screen RuleIf you’re watching a movie to rest, only watch the movie. No dual-tasking unless it is absolutely necessary. Better yet, leave your phone and laptop in another room.
- Choose One Day a Month for Slow TravelTaking a slow, leisurely drive with the radio off can do wonders for creating spaciousness in your life. Try these other tips, too.
Reasons We May Overwork and Overdo
Chronic overdoing doesn’t appear out of nowhere. It often has roots in family-of-origin systems. For many people, the compulsion to overwork isn’t merely a habit—it’s a survival strategy that once kept them emotionally safe.
In Chained to the Desk: A Guidebook for Workaholics, Their Partners and Children, and the Clinicians Who Treat Them, psychotherapist Bryan E. Robinson observes that overworkers often experienced conditional approval, inconsistent caregiving, or emotionally unpredictable environments in childhood, causing them to equate productivity with safety, lovability, and control in adulthood.
Robinson notes that even when taking time away from the job, work-addicted people will find their minds engaged in “mental preoccupation [about work], even when they appear to be relaxing or socializing.” They succumb to “self-imposed demands, an inability to regulate work habits, and an overindulgence in work to the exclusion of most other life activities.”
A mature body of literature on the behavioral addiction of overdoing and overworking—as well as overcaring for a loved one—reveals that some of us may not be able to “just choose” to change. Professional help can benefit us in taking better caring of ourselves.
Here are a few resources to start:
- Read Chained to the Desk: A Guidebook for Workaholics, Their Partners and Children, and the Clinicians Who Treat Them or Chained to the Desk in a Hybrid World: A Guide to Work-Life Balance by Bryan E. Robinson, PhD.
- Peer-support groups can offer both solidarity and practical tools. Workaholics Anonymous (WA) holds free meetings—in person, by phone, and on Zoom—and their website includes helpful resources for discerning whether work addiction may be part of your story.
- Look for therapists familiar with workaholism, perfectionism, burnout, family systems, or behavioral addictions.
- Spiritual care providers and chaplains can help you explore deeper existential or values-based questions.
A Shift May Only Take Minutes
Whether your overdoing impacts you some days or every day, you don’t have to keep white-knuckling your way through a life of too much. Prioritize time to unlearn the survival strategies that no longer serve you. Above all else, honor seemingly small wins.
Today, I spent a luxurious five minutes in winter meditation, staring out my writing room window at our snow-filled backyard. A few willful leaves still fluttered on the maples. Underneath, I saw the tracks of critters who visited last night. Rather than taking in the backyard as a whole, I tried to look at each tree separately, a seemingly impossible task that felt simultaneously less efficient yet deeply necessary for slowing down my day.
