"Visualize calm. We all carry memories of more tranquil times: a beach getaway where you took lazy naps on the soft sand, an aromatherapy massage you got on your birthday. Recall how you felt in those peaceful settings, and your body will naturally relax."

Peaceful settings. I like this idea of visualizing peaceful settings to help your body relax. Spending time on the Oregon Coast there is a plethora of peaceful sights and sounds surrounding us at all times.
My photo's today shows something I had never seen before at the beach. A Dungeness crab burying itself in the sand. Al informed me that it was common. Never seeing this sight before, I had no idea that they could be buried in the sand under my feet. Awesome what the creatures of the sea can do. It is possible to imagine that a blanket of sand could be a safe haven of calm, a peaceful retreat, when a crab feels threatened by humans.

Wow, that little guy IS relaxed, although it's interesting to read about your beach experiences.
I am usually moving on the beach, peaceful, but in motion.

I think a lot of people need to view this with all of the hectic stuff going on in the world today.
How cool! I've heard of this, but had never seen it either. Thanks for this amazing share!
Oh, I'm sooo glad you explained! It really looked as if he was being sucked into the sand, not that he was making it happen. Fascinating. It's so lovely to be able to make the time -- and to give yourself the time -- to be still and watch something like this.
I found your blog through a link on Ali's blog.
I believe it was a God send. I have been praying daily for: Peace in my heart, calm in my spirit..
Your blog was just what The Doctor ordered!
