Finding Centre

Centre found

The Power of Ohmmm

When your mind finds itself tumbling as if it is the middle of this...

Rushing along in NYC



While you long for the peace, calm and clarity of a space more like this... 

Contemplation pool,  Reykjavik

Hit the pause button on your thoughts and simply breathe in, breathe out, and repeat.   Breathe in. Breathe out.  Repeat.

Wisps in the summer sky

With four deep breaths, the noise and chaos that is cluttering your mind will recede, and you will find yourself in a place that feels more like this....

The long view high on the western coast

Whether your notion of centre appears like this...

The setting sun at Eastgate

Is captured in the serenity of a face like this...

Japanese fragment

Or is expressed by the glorious light of a setting like this...

 Along the southern coast of Portugal

Just four deep breaths and you will be on your way there.  I promise.
 

 

View from my mat;

A place to breathe and find centre

Strange Brew

Mid-winter landscape: no snow, creeping fog. 
Strange brew indeed.

real snow

Simple Pleasure



Morning walk in a landscape wrapped in fog

evokes mystery, serenity and calm;

there is no other place I'd rather be.
