May we nurture freedom's call / Protect what we have gained / Give our best and do our best / Where freedom's concerned, not complain ...

A time to reflect on the sacrifices we have made and make to be able to express ourselves without suffering negative outcomes.

When we let situations escalate to the point we feel upset we're more liable to act negative or nasty to those around us. If we were feeling peaceful and calm in the midst of the same event we would be less likely to blame others.

We learn mainly by trial and error. If we have continual problems relating harmoniously, we begin to ask ourselves why?

When a problem is complex or difficult we need to pay attention to the details by concentrating little by little till the answer is known. It is this way whether for spiritual advancement through concentration and meditation, or scientific understanding.

It would seem that many prayers and meditations have been answered in the recent news of Warren Buffett, and Melinda and Bill Gates combining their billions of dollars for the benefit of humanity.

A string of beads, rosaries, or malas help us concentrate on mantras or prayers during meditation.

Walking for a change of scene when you´re stressed.

Take a few minutes to let go - even at your desk!

A mini-vacation right on your carpet.
