I’m having trouble steadying my mind for any amount of time over 10 minutes but this visual really helped!

I love your blog!
Namaste

Welcome to my blog and thank you so much for your comment.

I live in one of the most beautiful places in Canada. From one side of the small island I live on I can see the mountains behind Vancouver on the mainland. From the other side of the island I can see Mount Benson on Vancouver Island.

I really appreciated your visit and look forward to visiting your blog and getting to know you.

Namaste

I really like #2, because meditating outdoors reconnects us to our natural source – we remember we are our breath, especially when the wind brushes our cheek or we feel sunlight on our eyelids. And if you are outdoors then #6 can become actually being with a real mountain, not just visualizing it, so your breath is also the mountain you see and feel. Meditation outdoors reminds us that we are nature and nature is us. I live deep in the mountains here in Japan and am grateful every day for my reconnection with the greater web of life that supports and sustains me. I look forward to sharing perspectives with you and invite you to visit my bilingual website/blog. My latest, very short post has a lovely photo of one of the nearby mountain lakes and it may give you a moment of contemplative release from the stress you talk about. From the foot of Mount Fuji, I am delighted to have found your blog.

I too have been under a lot of stress so much so that I haven’t had the time to blog here that I would have liked to have had. Thanks for waiting for a reply. I couldn’t get in but that’s all fine now.

I now schedule it. ;)
