Clearly there has been
considerable turmoil and conflict in America.
In addition, I have been feeling overwhelmed and stressed out from a
multiplicity of factors. It's like I am
a ninja encircled by my enemies who are attacking me from all sides. In other words, think of something that has
been causing you a lot of anxiety and grief lately; multiply that by ten and
you can more fully appreciate what I have been going through.
The good news is that I
truly believe suffering does not represent a normal state of being. As I try my
best to walk a spiritual path, I have learned many ways to gain relief and
solace from the maladies of living this physical experience. Along these lines,
I would like to discuss five ways to take a break, restore balance, become more
grounded, and reconnect with the power of the Sun beyond all the storms and
troubled waters.
Are you ready to take
that break today? I sure am. I call this process "Taking Serenity
Breaks".
#1. Contemplate the
nature of the Divine. I see the Divine in sunsets and sunrises - such heartfelt
colors and shimmering ribbons of light.
Wasn't the recent and total solar eclipse breathtaking too? I feel the
presence of the Divine - Source of all Life, Beauty, Love, and Consciousness,
in the vastness of the oceans, and in the twinkling glow of the stars at night.
How about the majesty of the Redwoods or the dappled sunlight and solitude of
the forests? Let's not forget the
splendor of the rivers, the deserts, the glaciers, and those blue skies with
infinite, floating, cloud-pictures. Why don't we just walk barefoot on the
beach today merging our senses with the roar of the ocean surf? The list goes
on and on. I don't know about you, but I am feeling a little bit better now.
