I just got back from a wonderful trip. I took these shots because I felt they helped relax me. The beauty I saw in these shot was breath taking I hope everyone sees the beauty as I did.

thank you my dear friend. Your wonderful ability to see past what the system wants you to see is truly incredible. We see the beauty in the little things and that to me is key. :)

Ron,
Yes, it really is immensely important to find the balance and harmony inside, that keeps from running around for useless things. What we need to have the harmonized mind is to get truly back to our heart. The system does everything to keep ourselves locked inside the mind and that is why it starts to run around like a rabbit (not intended to be an offence to a rabbit:-). If the mind is filled with more information than it can take (contradictory indeed), it looses the capacity to make individual decision. Then it leads to confusion. So it is not just words to come back to heart and it makes the mind even clearer.
Thank you so much!
The nature is one of the best healers and these are some of the most beautiful words to describe it in a simple and yet so wonderful way. Thank you Jesus!

What we all need is love and the only way to feel it is to search for it is inside our own heart. Meditation is the listening the truth. What it needs is to get connected with the feelings and to get quiet.
*When doing prana breathing exercise it can give interesting results when focused as to be one with the prana.

Mike and Joan,
Thank you for the compliments also, :-). I'm just learning as well, using so much of the free time on thinking, sitting and doing nothing (sorry! ..-)(-:, meditating. Eee...

Much love for you all! -Silja

A harmonized mind produces
harmony in this world of
seeming discord. Paramahansa Yogananda

Meditation for me might be a simple walk in the forest. Sitting on a tree stump or even the ground. Letting the energy of mother earth flow through my body. The feel of the cool crisp Autumn air on my face.

Looking at any little thing and realizing its beauty is very relaxing for me. Taking pictures. Sometimes just lying on your back and looking up to the beautiful blues sky giving thanks.

We shall never cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
- T.S.Eliot


Recently, a friend reminded me of the fact that 10 years prior I had read the "Art of Happiness" a book about a pyschiatrist's interview with the Dalai Lama. Who would have ever thought, I have come round cirle in a decade to participate in the ACTION of meditation to get that happiness.

Silja is sublimly deep! To be one of the nature and the spirit without separation....Yikes! Scary to think of how great we can be when we let ourselves go to be with that Power, in whatever way we can experience it...

Best,
Mike

All our experiences we have are caused by the projection that we have inside and the way that we choose to see the world. Outside and inside are the same. That is why we should not really see the material world apart from spiritual, as this is just one world. Much blessings and thank you.

The prayer of St. Francis is wonderful. There is so much all religion has in common. Here is an old scripture from Buddhist text that is not much different if you think about it. I can find one in every established religion on earth.

"Ho!
If I am well, I am happy for I dedicate my well being to accumulating virtue:
May happiness and bliss fill the skies!

If I suffer, I am happy for I take upon myself the suffering of all beings:
May Samsaras ocean of suffering be emptied!

If I am sick, I am happy for I exhaust the bad karma of my many past lives:
May all living beings be relieved from pain!

If I die, I am happy for I die into the absolute nature:
May the root of rebirth in the cycle of existences be severed!

If I live long, I am happy: through the two accumulations My both my aims and those of others be spontaneously accomplished!"

This was Writted my Gyalse Ngulchu Thogme 14th century

drmike, I really like the version you presented here better than the ones I have read that are done in a more inquiry mode - "may I (bring hope)" instead of "I may (bring faith)"- more affirmative in the declarative sense.
Hi Joni! lotsagratitude, ron

Wow if we could only think of ourselves less. Silja's piece here from 10/14/09 makes me remember the old prayer of St. Francis. Whereas, this is attached to Christian religious history, it should be noted the spirituality is applicable to all belief systems. If you all don't mind, I will attach it here:

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace
That where thes is hatred, I may bring love
That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness
That where there is discord, I may bring harmony
That where there is error, I may bring truth
That where there is doubt, I may bring faith
That where there is despair, I may bring hope
That where there are shadows, I may bring light
That where there is sadness, I may bring joy
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted
To understand, than to be understood
To love, than to be loved
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven
It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life
Amen

Best, Mike
