A Quiet Moment
- Imagine you are at the ocean and the waves flow up the sands.
- Notice how your breath is similar to the waves going up and down the beach.
- Sense how the rhythm of your breathing quiets some of the mental noise.

@soulsings
for me the only time i ever been to ocean i did not see it as being as pretty as lake Michigan there like waves on the breach of lake Michigan so understand what your saying yes i agree out breathing can be in rhythm with the waves and other sounds too can be very calming too
i find a peace about being near any water
@stormieandpaws I find water very calming also.
@soulsings
water amazing it can bring a peace that really no other things brings in same way as a child going camping alone by the river in the woods was my peaceful place a lot of the time first alone camping weekend was when i was 8yr i miss camping , hiking and fishing a lot but some times when i stressed out i will in my mind go to the camping place i call it a mental vacation can be so helpful in many ways when i use to write meditation that was one of them along with like going into a crystal cave
What a quiet moment ! Sounds awesome 🌊🌊
@AReine enjoy this moment. It is the only one we can be sure of.

Hello soulsings, I know I am not on the "taglist", I apologise for the intrusion.
I was born under the starsign Aquarius (according to Western Astrology) so any water source, or water course, soothes my soul and mind. I also feel a deep affinity with nature when I am deep in a forest with no one else around.
These are the times when I can walk, and talk, with my gods.
Namaste,
D.

Feels good to go there mentally 😊 The waves coming in, the waves going back out, very rhythmic. Noticing that the waves go out, but they will be right back. Something to count on. Trusting, in that moment.
With the calm and trusting in the moment, I notice the white foam on the edges of the waves. Cute little bubbles. I try to count them, 1, 2, 3 and then back out again they go. Must count more quickly, laughs at self. 😊
Mentally, I scoot closer to the water. I dig my feet into the wet sand and let the waves wash over them. Maybe I can count the bubbles faster now as they are becoming a part of me. 1,2,3,4, and 5. Well, worked a little. I got 2 extra in there.
Let the bubbles be, let them exist. No need to count, now just feel. I lean my head back, wrap my arms around my knees and look at the sky, the clouds, feel the sun on my face. Sun on my face, more proof that God loves me.
I hear the sea gulls and tell myself that they are singing a song just for me if I let them, If I simply listen. Realize that the waves crashing on my feet are singing a tune for me as well, one only for me as I'm the only one listening.
I smell the salt air, I breath it in deeply. I fill my lungs over and over with Gods gifts.
I get hungry; I imagine the sea gulls are too. I decide to share my sandwich with them today. 1/2 for me, 1/2 for them and I wonder if they will like my chicken salad sandwich?
The little sandwich bag rustles as I pull out my half. Gotta' eat pretty quick or the sea gulls will take it from me. Naughty sea gulls and I giggle at the thought of them. I count, 1, 2,3 seagulls....at my feet while still not counting sea foam bubbles. The bubbles are simply there and I"m happy that they are.
"Hi guys" I say to the hungry little birds. They lock eyes with me and I can tell that they are happy I'm there and are waiting. I tear the other half of my sandwich into tiny little pieces and toss them far away from me so they can eat in peace, amongst themselves, while I'm simply a witness. They are happy and so am I.
I feel the wind blowing against me, feel it blowing through my hair that is peeking out from under my big floppy sun hat. I feel my hair tickling my shoulders and back. I thought the hat would be cute to wear. I pull it on tighter so that it won't blow away.
I look back up at the sky then back at my feet. I count the bubbles, 1, 2. 3.
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️
@SparkyGizmo what an ncredible guided meditation - you made it real in my mind. You write an intriguing story. Thanks for sharing.

I love it when I’m at the beach with my two feet just enough inside the water to feel the waves flow up the sand and in between my toes. I like that.
I’ve definitely noticed my breathing rhythms silencing my mental noise, at least temporarily since I’m not there for the whole day or everyday.
