Sleep

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.

For me it's scuba diving. I leave all of life's problems on the surface, and I get to relax and focus on the task at hand.

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

A really good porn flick!

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.
