Enjoy this meditation video as a reminder of the gifts Nature provides for us every day if we take time to stop and smell the roses.

While summer is here and we have plenty of sunshine, take some time this week to appreciate Mother Earth. Take a walk on your lunch break or find a park near you and sit for just 5 minutes to hear the birds, to breathe in the smells of the trees, to feel the the softness of fresh grass.

Enjoy a bit of Nature as a short time out of your hectic week to renew your soul.

Let your attention shift “Towards the One, the Perfection of Love, Harmony, and Beauty….” (First line of a Sufi Invocation)

Pass this along to anyone who needs a little extra sunshine this week.
