This morning I woke up at 9, did a half hour of yoga in my living room (I use Wai Lana's Yoga Dvd's), then went to the pond by our allotment.
I spread out a blanket on a picnic table, and sat there.
I was ushered back inside over an hour later when it started raining, but the hour I spent was perfect.

I sat outside this morning, because I needed clarity.
I needed to think.
I needed to meditate, search my soul, pray, and re-connect with myself, nature, and God.

I feel so strongly that if all people were to take time even once a month to sit down and meditate, pray, and connect with themselves and nature, that this world would be without a lot of its problems.
We as people would be happier, more centered, and fulfilling our dreams! We would treat nature and our fellow humans with more respect and kindness!
I strongly encourage each and every one of you to take an hour out of your day sometime this week!

What to do:
*Go somewhere quiet, calming, serene, and deserted.
*Bring with you notebooks, pens, and water (I brought along water and a healthy smoothie).
*Take deep calming breaths. Close your eyes. Stare at the water or another calming object. Do whatever it is you need to, to relax.
*Pray. Meditate. Look deep within yourself. Answer the questions that are always knocking at your heart, but you don't allow yourself to think about.
*Write down your feelings.
*Write down the answers to your questions (and you will get answers. If you ask, you shall receive. If you sit and meditate, they will come to you).
*Just Be!

And that's it! It might be difficult at first to be quiet without any tv, cell phone, music or friends to distract yourself with. But once you get settled, you'll find that you are quite great company! You just need to allow yourself to be quiet and not distracted long enough to get in touch with your inner self. Once you do that, the ideas, sense of self, and peace, will come.
Try it! Let me know what you think!
