Relax and feel yourself being transported to a place of peace

          

The Sound of Silence 

The Sound of Silence | Simon & Garfunkel (Harp Cover)

  

Dona Anderson

Thank You beautiful young lady.

When I first heard this version of the song I completely softened and after the last couple of years I guess it was needed.

It was Simple, Beautiful and quickly moved deep into my heart. 

I felt like I had angels from above beside me, and reminded me of the angels I had and have here on earth that I'm very thankful for.

PS. I went searching in my book Moving Forward from the Heart to find a few words to finish off this post. I didn't have to go far to find this ending to the meditation, Lullaby of Peace.

Listen to these beautiful notes softly

playing your lullaby, your smooth

soft sweet notes of peace ...

One Rose Wellness Message

Who's the Celebration for?

It's for You!

from Simply, One Breath At a Time

A Roots to Breath Wellness moment!

I picked this One Rose message to share with you today.

"Celebrate your presence as you
encourage the breath to help you
breathe freely ... "

Celebrate You!

Thank You for sharing these messages to help others!

PS. How often do you take time to celebrate you, who you are as you are right now?

Allow your next breath to fill your whole wonderful being.  

Let it remove barriers, roadblocks and open up new pathways for the breath to travel. 

We all need reminders and help from time to time to shine a bit brighter. 

Think about each new breath filling you with joy!

What a Celebration!

How are you today?

Dona Anderson

I hope you're ready for a wonderful summer of relaxing scenery and Music from around the World.  

Each week will be our time to rest relax, breathe, let go of stress, and enjoy.

I'm even more excited because we have that one extra week

this summer so we have 9 times to

fill our eyes with beauty, 

our hearts with love and  

our soul with gratitude

for this wonderful World the place we all call Home.

The whole world has suffered through terrible times and we can easily forget all that we have and still need to love and protect. 

We have much more to do and all the helping hands, good thoughts, kindness, big smiles and of course hugs are on the to do list.  

Last weeks post and video helps to introduce us to what we'll experience, check it out at this link.

What are the Things You need Most?

another year almost gone 

but it will never be forgotten.

Dona Anderson

Last week I said I'd pass on a few reminders for some of life's pleasures and for that we're going to the guided Relaxation titled  I Give Thanks  in my  book  Simply, One Breath At a Time

Dona's photo message

I shared some of this previously in a post dated May 10, 2016 that still continues to travel the world.

These last couple of years have been especially difficult and 2020 was full of much heartbreak and loss.

I hope these simple everyday reminders will help us to keep moving forward.

We sometimes forget the simple things in life, our surroundings, our necessities, earths beauty, the human touch ... they are always there but can go unnoticed. 

I invite you to join me in expressing gratitude for some of life's pleasure's ... at the end rest with a gentle breath and think about which ones hold a special meaning for you today and others you can add.

For the wonders of earth  ...                    I give thanks 

For each drink of water ...                       I give thanks

For the warmth of the sun ...                    I give thanks

For the beauty of nature ...                       I give thanks

For each gift of a breath ...                      I give thanks

For the kindness in a smile ...                  I give thanks

For the chance to laugh ...                       I give thanks

For the grace to dance ...                         I give thanks

For the notes in music ...                          I give thanks

For the love in my life ...                          I give thanks

For this present moment ...                      I give thanks

For all this and much more ...                  I give thanks

This list isn't asking for much.

It's just noticing some of the everyday things we all need.

And, each of us will have others to add like family, friends, pets & more?

And at times in our lives we do need to say
Thanks for many of these.

Perhaps that's the reason people around
the World keep connecting to it.

Do you have songs that make you cry?

The Ugly Cry.

I DO - this is often one of them.

In my guitar groups music books there are 2 songs that make me cry.

This one and the other is Puff the Magic Dragon.

I love them both but ...

Some days the tears just start to come.

Then it's Quick - find a tissue as tears are running down my face and I need to blow my nose. 

I wonder who else has songs

 that do the same to them for
whatever reason ...

I used to be very sensitive,

much worse than now.  

I couldn't listen or watch some things because the ugly cry would swell my eyes up so bad I just had little slits to see out of the next morning.

Sometimes it was embarrassing especially when we were out at movies or concerts. 

The people beside me weren't always appreciative. 

And, I really felt bad when others told me their problem/story and would apologize that I was sad/tearing up.

Do us sensitive ones ever lose it or

is it just how we're suppose to be. 

Google can Help. 

There's questions & responses to help about

crying if you want to check that out.  

There are even Benefits listed.

I guess I need that cry every once in awhile

which was the second I added Tilly's photo in here.

My first photo message back in 2012 - Miss you beautiful  Scottie Girl.

 Her heart was very Kind & Happy.

Quiet moments, 

Where do you find Yours?

One Rose Wellness Message

for you today

There's nothing

 for  you to do,

There's

nowhere for

 you to go,

Simply surrender

to this

quiet moment ...

Do you have Quiet moments?

Where do you find them and for how long?

How do they make You feel? 

Perhaps yours is being away from cars, street noise, machines and being with calming sounds like music, waves, birds or whatever it is for You.

Quiet time also changes over the years as you age and your work & family life changes. 

It can even change through the seasons from outside to inside spaces.

Quiet time also helps connect us to feelings of peace, satisfaction, being grateful and contentment - a word I'm learning more about.

Where do you get your
 special moments.

Now that I'm learning to play the Cello I'm finding lots of incredible videos for me to love and some to share.

No don't worry - I won't share too many or you'll think I'm obsessed. 

If I ever learn to play this piece 

I'll let you know.

           

Beautiful.

A couple of minutes is often all it takes
to relax, soften & melt into heavenly feelings.

More wonderful variations on You Tube.

Pick out your favorite.

What Opens Your Heart to Feel Joy?

finding Joy in

everyday places

and it just takes a few minutes

😊 another in the True Treasures Series

The gift of Breath for you today.

We're going to Simply, One Breath At a Time for another post in the True Treasures series.

So much to love 

And today I've got a shortened version of the ending from the relaxation titled Four Breaths on page 109. 

After you start to get relaxed we go to see what these four breaths offer us. 

I think you'll enjoy these ... only a few minutes of your time but they can provide you with comfort, presence, awareness and a smile. 

* With this breath I offer myself a smile ... a smile warms and uplifts my body ... 

* With this breath, say, I will get in touch with my inner self, and accept where I am at this moment ... 

* With this breath, I will find beauty and pleasure in simple everyday things ... 

* With this breath, I've learned that if I smile, bring my true  self and a new freshness to life, life will allow me to blossom, I will find joy in myself. 

💚 It ends with being invited to a place to smile, breathe, be present and to notice beauty in things - a place t find Joy.

Namaste & Take Care.
