My Island of Peace in a Chaotic World
As many of you know I earn my living speaking throughout Canada and the USA on Humour and Human Wellness. Frequently I get so wrapped up in my work that I have to stop and take my own advice. I have to stop and smell the roses.
That's what I did recently in one of the most beautiful and relaxing settings on earth for me... a friend's farm in the heart of Ontario Canada's Ottawa Valley.
I sat out on their deck one morning overlooking the valley as the morning sun gently caressed the meadow and a mother bluebird eagerly fed her young at one of the bluebird boxes rimming the field. As I sat there soaking up the peace and solitude I became acutely aware of a different rhythm, one of calmness and oneness with the natural world.
I was reminded of the words of Sigurd Olson, the nature writer, who once said that we all need listening points on the earth where we can slow down and listen to the rhythms of the universe.
This pleasant farm near the little country town of Beachburg Ontario is one of my listening points. It's a place filled with fond memories of country music jam sessions, shared laughter and shared pain.
It is also a place of peace, hope and comfort as the stillness of the valley eagerly wraps it arms around those who take time to rest and receive the message that life indeed is good and love is abundant and eternal.

Our Need for Listening Points
We all need listening points on the planet where we can feel and respond to the rhythms of the Universe as they touch our lives in so many ways. This is one of mine...Point Pelee Ontario Canada at Sunset. We will be heading there soon for our annual 2 week stay.

Sitting by the ocean
Sitting by the ocean today here in North Myrtle Beach I was reminded of the words of Gibran, " The sea never sleeps and in its vigil there is consolation for the restless soul." I could stay here forever. It is that peaceful and comforting.

The Lessons of Nature
Don't hesitate to post a response to my blogs. Let me know if I am meeting your needs.I welcome your input. Mike
To find happiness and peace of mind immerse yourself in the wonder and the beauty of nature. Its gift to us is peace; its lesson is patience.
The photo below was taken on the 15th of August 2009 while on a fly-in fishing trip from Chapleau ON Canada. The silence and the beauty were both comforting and healing.
Slow me down, Lord. Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.
"The sea never sleeps and in its vigil there is consolation for the troubled soul." Gibran

Top Ten Ways to Relax On the Go By Mike Moore
1. Take three deep breaths slowly. It really works to relax the body and mind.
2. Relax the tongue. Usually the tongue is held tightly against the teeth. Free it up in the mouth so it can just rest there without tension.
3. Take one minute vacations. In your mind visit places where you find peace and stillness. Picture yourself there soaking up the beauty and solitude.
4. Relax your facial muscles. When we are tense we frown and squint which adds to the tension. Tell your facial muscles to relax and they will. Try to maintain this relaxed face throughout the day.
5. Move slowly. When you find yourself rushing for no reason, SLOW DOWN.
6. Laugh more. Laughter cuts stress in half and promotes relaxation
7. Listen to beautiful music. Mozart calms the restless spirit.
8. Watch and enjoy the sunset.
9. Visualize yourself as a balloon being inflated. As you breathe in, the balloon fills with your stress and tension. Then breathe out all the stress and tension leaving yourself limp and relaxed.
10. Enjoy the rhythm and beauty of nature for its lessons are patience and peace
