Life is a dynamic process of balancing between hot and cold; activity and rest; nature and nurture. Balancing between what we keep private and what we share with others; and between many other complementary pairs of opposites.
The lower half of this picture shows the circular Root System of this Tree of Life. The 10 concentric Roots and the Seed relate to the tenth Sefirah, Kingship. It represents how our Nature is given to us from the past - our roots. Nature is seen as ‘round’ or Feminine. The Root System is thus contained in Earth and is nourished by Water.
The upper half of this picture (showing the branches of this Tree of Life and its 9 Sefirot/Flowers that contain seeds) represents Choice or Nurture, seen as Masculine. Balanced choices help us Nurture our Nature and plant seeds that will grown into a better future. The 3 Flowers on its right side symbolize Wisdom, Kindness and Victory - all associated with Water. The 3 Flowers on its left side symbolize Understanding, Strength, and Majesty all associated with Fire. The 3 Flowers between them, symbolize Crown, Beauty and Foundation (the middle column of the Tree of Life Diagram) all associated with Air. They are yellow because yellow is the middle color of the rainbow, balanced between the hotter colors above and the colder colors below it. Also because the Hebrew word for Light אור is almost identical to the word for Air אויר. The Flowers of this Tree of Life are fed by the Light that comes from the Fire of the sun. This process of Photosynthesis transforms Light into Air.
The squares, triangles and circles that are the seeds in the Flowers, some of which have fallen into the Earth and have begun sprouting new Trees hint at the Mother Letters of Sefer Yetzirah - א מ ש - Aleph Mem and Shin.
