When you think of dishes you may not think of meditating, but you might think of quiet. Â When I wash the dishes I run warm water, turn on my favorite calming music and delight in the smell of my apple blossom dish detergent. Â When I'm quiet and focusing on the circular motion of washing the dishes, I find a peacefulness there. Â For me that's what meditation is, it's a time when I can be at peace. Â Chores have a way of cleaning up mental clutter, if you allow them.

Â Integrating mediation into everyday habits takes the expectation away. Â The idea that I need to transform into Ghandi doesn't exist when I'm in the shower. Â It's just me, Oil Olay and the hot water. Â Let Calgon take you away and quiet your mind during shower time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_single_image border_color="grey" img_link_target="_self" title="Take a Ride" image="3417" img_size="300x300" img_link_large=""][vc_column_text]

I love taking car rides. I come up with some of my greatest ideas when I'm just takinga ride to nowhere. Â Take time to see what God really has to offer. Â View the mountains or changing trees, sing your favorite song 12 times in a row and let the wind whip your hair back and forth. Â I come back from these trips feeling so refreshed, like I've given myself a present that no one can take away.

Â When I'm twisting or knotting my hair, I turn on soft music, feel the softness of my tresses between my fingers and ponder on the beauty of the women who came before me and wore a similar curly mane. Â For me, styling my hair is not about maintenance, it's about connecting with my physical self and showing my crown that I appreciate it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][line type="1"][quote text="The thing about meditation is that you should become more and more YOU." name="David Lynch" name_sub="film director"][line type="1"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
