Mindfulness Daily Check-In November 20, 2017

Hello everyone- morning
Today I thought we check in with a bit of nature today. We all worked really hard on some good check-ins last week. So let's start this Monday out with just observing, and noticing how our body feels, what we hear. Nothing else.
Please listen to this link of the waterfall noise and focus back on this picture. Note what your are feeling and thinking here https://youtu.be/_RPjndlY-sc

Hi Rumple,
Whenever I am truly mindful of the beauty nature has to offer, it is a healing experience. Within this photo and after listening to the sounds; I see timeless beauty, hear the power of the water and it reminds me of how the constant flow slowly changes the landscape.
It takes me to the lessons of impermanence of all things. It reminds me to be present, enjoy the calming influence and reminds me to pay attention to the details as they will only remain for that moment. In all of that, I feel strong as we all carry that gift within ourselves as well.
@Compassionatelistener108
Hello there Compassionate good to see you today
I agree with you on letting nature be a healing part. Oh wow I like that way you shared on how the photo was for you. Wow I trully do like what you shared now. Yes hearing this is a part of accepting there here and now. The moment right now and nothing else. You are right on![]()
@RumpleSteeleSkin beautiful moving gif of waterfall. I listened to water for a while and it helps me relax a bit.
Thanks for sharing.
@soulsings
HIya Souls great to see you
Yes something about water is so relaxing to the "soul" I have tanks in my house fish and the turtles and at night time when the house is quiete and down for the night, but my mind isn't I listen to these tanks and do feel relaxed and ready for bed. Like to end the day.
@RumpleSteeleSkin Hi RSS, I can't listen right now as I'm at work, but when I opened the post, before I even scrolled to your writing, I stopped on the waterfall and just did some breathing and imagining being there with the wonderful sounds. Thanks for giving me a little happiness today!
@yzzil I am so happy you stopped a moment to connect with the breath and have a happy day!
Nice one, There is something calming about water sounds. Maybe that's why I leave the tap running when I wash up in the kitchen. ( I know a naughty habit, I need to break.)
@RumpleSteeleSkin
hey Rumple, the picture is tremendously beautifull. This was definitively a lot of water falling down, it made me a bit uncomfortable.
@amiablePeace77
Hi Peace good to see you today
aawww I'm sorry this made you uncomfortable. Water is a soothing sound/feel for many people.....but then for some water is scary. Can I ask why this made you uncomfortable?
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Hi Rumple, water sounds usually make me feel very well. i do not know why but somehow i just related it to Tsunami. Seeing the picture, however, had a big "wow" effect, the picture is very very calming 😊
Looking at the waterfall made me calmer, and the picture reminds me of a story where the bridge over ravine was a metaphor for therapy. So I have more motivation for therapeutic activities now. Thank you :-)
@EmOnTheGo I like that analogy of the bridge. Thanks for sharing!
