I hope all of my dear readers are well and your awareness grows every day 
You’ve probably noticed that a short rest from any intensive activity clears your mind and gives a different perspective of the same situation, whether it is a work problem or a personal question. Depending on your involvement and the depth of emotions, you may need just a few minutes.. or several days to calm down and reach deeper relaxation. In our daily routine we often need to “reset” our mind, become fresh and more active. Diversify our doings.
Depending on the way you perceive the world, you will find music or visual relaxation fitting you better. I am suggesting several methods to let everything be for a moment. To realize the value of every second; to realize what is really important for you. Don’t miss a chance, this life is so short.. Small daily meditation may become your refuge and change your life for better.
Web relaxation tools
Tools available online are amazing - you can simply sit back and relax a little, letting your mind travel somewhere else and meditate, concentrating on a beautiful video or sound.
Here are my favorite relax-videos from different sources. They are short and light. Don’t forget to turn on the music or wear headphones. I wish you all could leave problems and hard situations aside and simply relax. Let it all go. Just be present for a moment.
Tender flowers, smell of spring and great sounds.
Water drops and sound of the ocean.
Zen symbols, Buddha statue, simplicity of a flower, - accompanied by theme music. My favorite.
Murmur of the forest. Green grass and spikelets, ancient trees.. You are almost standing there.
Galaxies and planet pictures with beautiful ambient music.
Amazing piano music, cold and bright winter pictures. Remember your cozy winter evenings?
