Breath deeply amidst the beauties of nature; absorb vibrations unsullied by pollution and cosmopolitan ways. Breathing mindfully brings balance into your life; strength is gained through the Breath of Life! Remember: breath is your life's companion! And, as you limit your breath, you limit life itself. Befriend silence: a balm to your soul. As you breathe in silence, your ear attunes to Spirit. You will understand the eagle. Breathe deeply! Breathe life!
The power of quiet is great. It generates the same feelings in everything one encounters. It vibrates with the cosmic rhythm of oneness. It is everywhere, available to anyone at any time. It is us, the force within that makes us stable, trusting and loving. It is contemplation contemplating us. Peace is letting go -- returning to the silence that cannot enter the realm of words because it is too pure to be contained in words. This is why the tree, the stone, the river and the mountain are quiet.
