Special Spots

Just on a lighter note now. Taking a break from the fantasy posts.

I think we all have to have our special spots where we for some reason, who knows why feel so calm. So suddenly at peace, more alert and just overall well. A place where we can really relax and let our nervous system replenish itself. The better we can relax and feel at ease the better and quicker we calm, heal, repair and charge up our nervous system which certainly has benefits for us.

To have our nervous system frayed, tired, exhausted puts us on edge, makes us nervous and we begin to believe that we can't keep all this up. We are so easily annoyed and just want to sleep or run away. 

Suprisingly these spots are not: Lake Como, the Swiss Alps, a deserted island, the Rockies, Gibraltar,  the red dusty outback, Nepal, the Sahara, Mount Kilimanjaru, etc.

A Few

Here are a few of mine.

This Tree on Canning Highway has something about it, whenever I walk past it (slowly has to be slowly in a rush one does feel it) every morning to the bus stop, such a calm and alertness washes over me and soon as I get a little distance from it, the effect dissipates. I remember one monring I was in a state, and when slowly walking past it I noticed such a contrast. To spend a few miniutes under its boughs was such a balm. 

Hope they don't cut it down. It is special.

Just sitting on the floor looking out in front of the fire place is another. On the floor, making contact with the ground, rock bottom, supported by Mother Earth, that's all that one needs.

This stretch of the path at Trigg. Same effect as the Como Pub tree. Maybe the pine trees or the wide vista and the Indian behind. Don't know but it works. I've untied a few aching internal mental and emotional knots while sitting and walking up and down there like a pacer.

Up here at Kings Park. Just the wide and high vista calms the mind. Allows the perception of vastness and emptiness to enter the mind which quietens it and like heals it from its detailed and narrow jails.

Practical Part

Whenever needing some help to feel a bit calmer, clearer, alert, at peace and more deeply reflective, visiting your spots is not a bad idea. Well worth it, if you can.
