A Day of Possibility

Everything you think, every plan you make, every fear you have, is based on something that has happened in your past. How might your life be different, if you lived in this moment instead?


Close your eyes. You are in the lobby of a beautiful hotel room. You hear the rush of water flowing down a beautiful fountain. As you look up, the fountain goes up so high that you cannot see the top. The water sound is soothing. You feel calm and balanced. 


There is a beautiful dining room to your right where you can have the meal of your choice at any time.


As you look out the window to your left, you can see a natural scene that makes you feel bliss and peace. It might be a beach, the bank of a river or the edge of a forest, whatever makes you feel good.



You get up and walk toward the front desk. A kindly-looking woman gives you a smile and you know she is there if you have any needs or questions.
 

You walk towards the front door and see a rack of brochures. You have a day to fill with activity. Look through and see what appeals to you.


There are brochures for music, dance, local bookstores, nature events, all kinds of hobbies; every activity imaginable is here.


Pick three brochures. Find ones that especially call to you on this day.


Take them to the dining area, where the breakfast of your choice is sitting on the table waiting for you.


Begin to read through them and decide which of them you would like to focus on today. You know you will have plenty of time to enjoy as many activities as you want and you have all the money you need to explore them.


The lady from the front comes over to you and asks what you plan to do today. You tell her and she says that, she will arrange it. All that you need to do is show up. 


Thank her for her help, and stay and explore the hotel for as long as you like before leaving to enjoy your trip. 


When you are ready; walk towards the front door. Take a deep breath.  Put your hand on the door handle, feel your fingers as you take another deep breath. With one last deep breath, open the door, and open your eyes. Take this feeling of excitement with you this day.


Now go! Enjoy the adventure you plan to have on this day. ~ Silas

It's Okay to Hug a Tree

You make jokes about being barefoot and hugging trees, yet this is your natural state.

Staying indoors can become an addiction. Much like eating food that is not healthy, you may get a "rush" from air conditioning and television. You may feel uncomfortable out of doors and miss the security and climate control of staying inside.

Like eating nutritious food and exercising, it may take a while to feel good outside. You may fear the "burn" of the sun or the dirt beneath your feet, but try it for some time each day.


Soon you will find it helps you to stay grounded. You will enjoy the tickling feeling of wind on your face, appreciate the warmth of the sun and find visual pleasure in the sights and sounds of nature.

Consciously go outside every day and breathe the fresh air. Fill your heart with loving thoughts and send them down into Mother Earth. Breathe in more love and send it up to Father Sky. Then quiet your mind stay still and breathe. 

Feel the response that returns to you and know that you are an indispensable part of nature. 

You are loved, you are life, you are right where you belong.......in the family. ~Silas

Perfect Health

Before you reach for a pill for your anxiety and stress, take a break and go outside.

Allow the energy of the Earth to calm and ground you.

You vibrate in harmony with this planet. Closed buildings, machinery and artificial light are not natural to your vibration.

Allow yourself to feel the sun on your skin, the grass under your feet and the fresh air in your lungs.

Perfect health is your natural state and your body knows what do to find balance.

Trust and allow this to occur. You deserve it. ~Silas
