Ode To November

“I walkout; I see something, some event that would otherwise have been utterly missed and lost; or something sees me, some enormous power brushes me with its clean wing, and I resound like a beaten bell.” – Annie Dillard

Relaxing With Nature – Buddha Bar Music

” At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” -Albert Schweitzer

The Wild Divine

I love playing The Wild Divine! It is a computer game that teaches you how to use your breath to stimulate or relax your biological responses by using biofeedback sensors worn on your fingers to control various events.

I’ve had this game for a few years and I still use it on a regular basis, especially when I need a little peace and quiet during the holidays.

I recommend it to everyone interested in personal and spiritual growth.

The Wild Divine

“We meditate for various reasons. Peace of mind we all badly need. Therefore, when we meditate, either consciously or unconsciously we aim at peace of mind. Meditation gives us peace of mind without a tranquillizer. And unlike a tranquillizer, the peace of mind that we get from meditation does not fade away. It lasts for good in some corner of the inmost recesses of our aspiring heart.” – Sri Chinmony
