Focus the mind.

Ever wished for a clearer mind? As clear as a mountain spring lake...
One of the best skills you can learn for calming and clearing body and spirit is to focus the mind here is a few concentration methods I'd like to share with you:

Breathe...
Concentrate on your breath, you don't necessarily need to adjust it...

See...
Colours, candle gazing, flowers, symbols, rocks, a beautiful garden, your favourite picture, prayer stone, clouds  

Voice...
Sing your favourite song, chant, humming bee

Touch...
Stroking nature (trees, pebbles, crystal etc) or your pet! 

All very soothing very calming.

Blossom.



As we gently roll through June, its been sunny here on the North Wales coast, occasional evening rains bring a cooling to the earth. So beautiful to see the summer flowers. I like to watch nature do its thing, so effortless, knowing everything will work out as it should.
The picture above reminds me of blowing dandelion clocks as a child, each spore happy to be taken whichever way the winds carries him...
So at peace, so calm, landing happily where it may.

Its good to remember we are just as natural as the dandelion clocks, the trees and streams ~ each having our own path.... trust, let go, glide and flow...
