Smelling my dog's head.

Since walking through new places in the mountains is getting out of my reach, and my motorcycle has been out of commission for years now, driving on long trips provides the best grounding and centering for me. When I can't drive the act of remembering finding and experiencing spiritual places is greatly relaxing, at least until I go the one step farther a let myself get depressed for not being able to be at those places in person.

Rock climbing because it demands such a high level of presence. Cross country skiing for different reasons. Always helps to be outside and moving.

Watching the stars at night and looking for U.F.O.s,and hugging my dog.

Putting on headphones and listening to music, gaming and just basically retreating indoors. I detach from the real world audibly and visibly. I also don’t watch television but just surf the web.

Hiking. But playing ukulele comes in a close second.

Listening to my positive affirmations CD from: How to Change Your Life in 7 Days. Or is that hypnotherapy CD? Anyway it works for me

Gazing into the night sky; and especially at the moon--in all its phases.

Creating music...

when my band is playing and the dance floor is swinging...

Reading a good book, watching a good movie, listening to good music (obviously good is in my opinion), watching a sunrise or sunset, sittin' on the dock of a bay, scenery, art, a science project, children trick-or-treating, driving in the country, flying, sailing, swimming, being with friends or family (not always), contemplating the lint in my navel, etc. There is a lot that I find inner peace from. A smily emoji.

Sleeping.

Meditation

Playing my guitar....and READING!

Lifelong pursuit of TV, movies, and music with a few drinks on the side and some sleeping. What I mean here is being able to bring the TV, movies, and music into my home for free.

Doing good gives me a feeling of inner peace. For example, I spend about an hour every morning walking through a local park, picking up litter.

Being in nature. I very much enjoy natural beauty - flowers, trees, animals, as well as terrane. I also love the quiet and the fresh air.

Waking up from a good night of sleep. Being on an isolated beach. Being in an an isolated woods in the Pacific Northwest.

Writing poetry and/or music gives me the strongest feeling of inner peace. I don't necessarily feel it during the creative process, which can be filled with dead ends and frustration, but afterwards, when I am satisfied with what I've done.

Writing, mindfulness practices when I judge myself too much. I like to listen to music while petting my kitties.

Traveling and gardening.

Kayaking in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Skiing in the winter.

Sitting at the beach

A good relationship
Playing good music
Nature walks
