Remember when you sat by the ocean watching the water flow up to the shore or splash around the rocks--
I remember cool mountain streams flowing slowly and gently over the rocks and moss. The sounds, sights and feelings of calm were wonderful. The clear cold water running over my bare feet, the soft velvety feeling of the green moss.. Oh the memories!!
Visualizing and remembering the calm is great when you are using this during your daily meditation time.
Another way to get these feelings of calm is to bring the out doors inside. There are several ways to accomplish this.
Small water features with a pump inside, these run on electricity, they some times come with lights, but most have small smooth stones you can arrange for the full effect of the water sounds.
Get a DVD with ocean sounds or mountain streams. This will give you a continuous visual and sound experience that will calm you almost instantly. These DVD's also have quiet music as well as the nature sounds.
If you are fortunate enough to have a park or a resort close to were you live they may have water features. By all means go and have a picnic or bring a favorite book.
Always share these times with your children, partner or a friend. Calming relaxing moments that are shared mean so much more and build wonderful memories.
This is all part of your allowing yourself to self- nurture. Recharging you internal "energy" and filling your 'giving cup'.
