Peace...

Friday, December 21, 2007
We could all use a little peace at Christmas... Here is something I was sent in an email a while back, which I just came across yesterday... I hope it's helpful, especially at this time of year, which can be very hectic and chaotic for some.

Wishing you all a very peaceful Christmas. :-)

Just in case you've had a rough day, here's an 8 step stress management technique recommended in the latest psychological texts. It really works....

1. Picture yourself near a stream.

2. Birds are softly chirping in the cool mountain air.

3. No one but you knows your secret place.

4. You are in total seclusion from the hectic place called "the World".

5. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

6. The water is crystal clear.

7. You can easily make out the face of the person you're holding underwater.

8. See, You're smiling already.

Well that was a shocker. I was just relaxing and suddenly needed the eye's wide open emoticon.

I do this often when I meditate. I love the forest I am not a 'beach' person.

It really does help centre one's attention on God as you simply rest and be still.....:)A prayer of NO words just..love.

Peace & JOY to you:)
