This is a recording of the sound of the sea. Restless as it may be, it is thoroughly relaxing.

Evening
This interesting video brings out the soul of evening in an empty, forgotten structure. Light fades but the spirit remains and hope endures.

The values of disattachment
1) You worry less
2) You live life one day at a time
3) You do your best, that a future result may be so secured and live the moment
4) You can fix you immediate problems/faults/pains
5) You get to go on that vacation you've been planning for years but were held down by your attachment to
your job
So, release you attachment to all around you. Nothing is permanent except change.

The Caravansary
A place to rest and recover after a day's journey. A home away from home though you cannot tarry long for your journey has yet to end. This remarkable piece by Kitaro describes the haven that is the Caravansary, for we all need to rest and recover.

The power of simplicity
Hello everyone,
I just got back from a torrid stretch of work. My sanity was preserved by a technique that is publicly available, but is ignored or misconstrued. - Meditation.
It would seem that it is not even worth mentioning here. What good is this Eastern techinique anyway? Ganja, alcohol, mescal or even LSD work just as well. They do, but side-effects are common and not all souls are willing to trod dark paths.
The simplest of techniques therefore should be foremost. Today's world with its interconnected society and increasingly complex systems of communication, finance and even philosophy requires simplicity.
Here it is - Turn off ALL your communication devices and sit down quietly with your back straight. Close your eyes and breath in SLOWLY and deeply. Use your belly and not your chest. Slowly, begin to relax, one limb at a time. Avoid concentrating on anything. If a thought comes along, regard it and let it go on its way. Avoid holding onto/ dwelling any particular thoughts, especially those soaked in emotion as they upset your relaxation. Keep breathing slowly. Do this for about 15 minutes a day. I found this particularly useful after exercise.
