Need a moment or two to relax? A place to go to in your mind that takes you far away from where you are? Want to travel on the wings of your spirit into special places inside your mind, heart, and soul? Each month there will be a new meditation for you to enjoy. This month you can listen to the soothing sounds of the ocean.

Please visit my Inner Journeys blog for more meditations.

      Sit in the warm sand on the beach and enjoy the sights and sounds of the seashore that surround you. Soak up the misty rays of light from the sun that are reflected from the big, puffy, white clouds that float lazily through the azure-blue sky.

      Watch the waves as they gently wash upon the shore. Listen to the ebb and flow of the tide. Allow the warmth of the sun and the sound of the waves as they softy splash on the sand to just simply relax you and take you into soothing, serene places within your mind.

      Let your thoughts and feelings drift in and out with the sound of the tide. Close your eyes and watch the images inside your mind float gently in tune with the rhythm of the ocean. Feel your mind blending in harmony with the motion of the gentle waves as they softly wash into your awareness.

      Breathe in the calm breeze and smell the scent of the ocean air. Be in the pleasant warmth and gentle quiet of this beautiful, perfect day. Just be.

      Sense yourself--your awareness--blending completely into this soft, soothing, serene moment of here and now, feeling perfectly content and at peace with yourself, at one with the world around you and within you.
