Meaning and Origin
The anchor is often used as a sign that portrays safety, stability, security, and grounding during times of uncertainty. They are used to keep ships in place during storms, fluctuating waters, and strong winds. The anchor also represents a connection to our roots or identity, finding new direction, and a foundation for our values and ethics. Anchoring can also be used as a skill to help us be present in the here and now. Noticing and moving from the spiral of our thoughts, emotions, or sensations. Using this skill can help set us up to do the next thing.
The Oak tree is one of the strongest and longest-living trees. The oak tree is often used to symbolize strength, resilience, security, wisdom, and knowledge. It also can ground us in our integrity, nurture growth, and be a sign of protection and shelter. After we situate ourselves in safety and mindful awareness there is an opportunity for reflection, understanding, processing, and meaning-making.
