Celebrating The Song Of Summer

Now summer is in flower and natures hum is never silent...

In his “Shepards Calendar”, Poet John Clare recalls that buzzing song of a summer day: “The green wood fly and the blossom painting bee are never weary of their melody...”

Today, I invite you to celebrate the song of summer, for natures hum is never silent. Where do you hear it? From the early morning calling birds? the june bugs on the screen? the rippling of a brook?

It is summer. In the yard, baby bunnies munch on new grass…

May Meditation: Plant Your Garden

It's a time to reconnect to the earth to yourself. I remind you as you enter a state of stillness to simply breathe. How blessed are we to breathe to live. So feel it. Feel the sensations of those breaths. Feel how your body responds to each and every breath. Feel your clothing brushing up against your skin. As your chest rises and falls, feel your ribcage open expand as you breathe in to allow your lungs to fill with precious air.
Feel the release as you exhale. Become hyper aware of what you ar…

Spring - Awaken Your Senses Meditation

As we get ready to change from winter to spring, I wonder what is the first thing you notice?

The initial signs of spring may be subtle. The sunrise is a little earlier and climbs a little higher into the sky. But then I look to the tree line. I see the slight orange and red thickening of the first heart buds along a melt off runnel in the woods. The skunk cabbage emerges fully formed from under the snow at a still half frozen vernal pool. I hear that duck like croaking of the wood frog. And th…

The Long Winter’s Nap

The Long Winter’s Nap

When the days get shorter and the nights get long, do you find yourself turning inward? To Hide away. Hibernate. Seeking Rest - Calming, Deep Relaxing Sleep. The Long Winter’s Nap.

There are times, when we all need stillness. We need to find Silence. We need to separate from the rhythm of our daily lives and find peace. Winter is upon us. Curl up in your cozy spot. Be warm and safe, waiting for the long night to end and the light to return. Unhurried, snug, sheltered away…

The Discipline of Gratitude

The Discipline of Gratitude


Thank you. It’s that simple.

Thank you for taking a moment from your busy day.

Thank you for noticing.

Thank you for caring.


Gratitude, thankfulness, gratefulness - we feel it when we receive kindness of others - in whatever form: gifts, help, favors, or generosity of spirit. And that moment of gratitude cascades
into more and more positive emotions. Gratitude helps us to relish our experiences and to truly savor the moment.

On the path to self realization, in ou…

Winter Meditation

Today, we bring you our Winter Meditation of finding peace in storms. Winter is just a beautiful time of togetherness and tradition for many of us. But for others, it can also be a time of difficulty and deep loneliness.

And of course, the days are shorter, the weather is moody, and things are less bright, kind of drab during the winter months. Now this meditation today is about finding peace, and difficult or even trying times. The reality is that it is not just winter that brings difficulty o…
