I’m wrapped that you guys said you could feel the peace in the post. It is nice to know.

Today I was at an Indian palace (in Mysore) and I noted a similar quality due to the sheer intricacy and attention to detail. While it is not quite the same as nature it is still a nice place.

I liked what you said Bamboo: ‘we can do what we can do’, I like putting it that way.

Thanks everyone.

It’s great that you noticed a koi pond even while there were so many shops to entice you.

You said “I feel natural items work better than say a iPod.” Totally agreed too!! Despite so many advances in technology, I’m still pretty much a dinosaur. I also pretty much prefer viewing a nature landscape compared to a city skyline.

Slow down – it’s hard to do. In this age of speed we live in.

I felt the peacefulness in this post – a very comforting feeling. You’ve made a great point about being able to separate the physical from the mental. Nature has a way of doing that. I felt it very much in my life recently while visiting a remote area of Idaho. More locally, I feel this (to an extent) on a bike path I ride regularly. I need to spend some more time internalizing this – it’s powerful.

I could feel all the stress leave my body when reading your post.

We have to learn to slow down or we will go crazy. I love taking my dog for a walk every afternoon in the field. I just love to watch him be a dog and run and scury and observe all the smells. It relaxes me to watch him. Nothing really matters to him, (unless of course he sees a cat or bunny rabbit.)

Thanks for reminding us to stop. We truly do miss out on life if we are always full throttle.

Realizing that we can do what we can do, is timelessness.

When one obsesses over time, that does nothing to assist them except cause a little stress.

I train awareness and being in the moment since a long time. As a musician, composer and producer my mind is often busy.
But especially when playing I try to get to the point of no mind.
An interesting experiment is my free Morning Tune Up video series. Daily improvised, uncensored short clips of music, recorded after my first cup of tea in the morning. I sit down on the studio floor, looking into the garden with the pond, seeing whatever is happening: Nice weather, nasty weather, the swallows flying by. I feel my body, whatever is there, even a headache at times. And I don’t know what I will play until I hit the first note. I try to become one with what’s happening and when the tune comes to it’s own natural ending i feel like I emerge from a deep dive inside.
Morning Tune Up has become my morning meditation.
More than 50 episodes can be found here: http://sexyguitar.blogspot.com
I hope they can help you experience the moment, too
