Gazing, looking, seeing, and remembering. One meaning of gazing is "look steadily and intently, especially in admiration, surprise, or thought".
Gazing is a form of meditation. It allows us to focus on something and yet nothing, and move our consciousness. We are in a duet with that which we gaze at. We become partners in creating energy that lifts the spirit.

There are times in our lives when the only thing that saves us from complete madness is the serenity that settles over us. We feel at ease with whatever situation is going on.
Where does serenity come from? The Angels tell us that it comes from within, from a deep faith and sense of rightfulness. It leaves us feeling distanced from the commotion, and from the anger. Serenity gives us a gateway into feeling compassion and kindness, the kind that is without strings.
When we are in that place of serenity, we are not in ego. We leave greed behind. Power has no meaning. The environment fades. We are in that slightly altered state. We feel connected and alive.
Namaste
This is the meditation for today. How do I become tranquil? Tranquility is about finding that space of calm within one's self. As the pace of life speeds up and as the egos begin war with each other, we need to find that space that is tranquil.
You can become tranquil in many ways.
1) Let go of worrying about the next minutes, days and years of your life
2) Let go of trying to find your life mission. It will come to you if you stay still.
3) Adapt the ways of the turtle and go slowly into new things, but carry your home – your self awareness- with you
4) Be kind
5) Let go of friends and family that stress you. It is called de-stressing.
Namaste.
The theme is about being untouched by what is going on in the world outside. We all search for that bit of blissfulness that will move us beyond this reality. We see it and we don't care because we are blissful.
WE ARE MADE FOR BLISS. Blissfulness means that we are so very happy that we have moved beyond what most people feel and hear and see.
We float in the feeling of touching everything but having nothing touch us. We are moving and yet still. We are laughing out loud, and yet are quiet. We are filled with loving and are serene.
Namaste.
Right now, the most beautiful place on Earth is where there is peacefulness. This is the place that our soul yearns to go to – to find that place where there is not any ego or power or selfishness. We each have a need to find a place of peace where we can feel safe and where we can watch the stars or the clouds in the sky.
We need to know that in the peace, we do not need to watch our back (or our front or our sides) because we are protected. We look for that place of peace all the time.
Most often it is a place of serenity inside you. Sometimes, it is a physical place that you can go to.
Where is your place of peace?

The weather has been cold and there is lots of snow. It seems difficult to believe that in two weeks the weather man is predicting melting temperatures. We snuggle in our homes and semi-hibernate as the cold roles through. We admire the snow because it is clean and bright, and we if we are avid winter people, we get out and ski, snow shoe, or walk.
The challenge for all of us is to find grace in what we do each day. As February moves into SPRING, we have a chance to practice the art of self healing – the letting go of things that bother us or of people that bother us. Our Ancestors used the winter to review their life and to think about changes that they wanted to make come spring. We can achieve what we think of.
Namaste.
