Getting out and growing!

Now that the warmer summer months are behind us, I take this time now to reflect while I was hiking and my contemplative time along outdoors. Outdoors, I can meditate, reflect and organize my thoughts. It is magical!

Breathing. Yes, I know. We all breath. But there is an art in breathing and focusing on your breath that is calming. When you're meditating that is one of many ways to begin. Hiking or walking outdoors causes this calming affect on me. I find peace and solace wherever I am outdoors. If I'm in the mountains and looking out over a river valley, there is something very spiritual about it. Not only am I getting (and keeping) my body in shape by hiking but I am growing both spiritually and physically.
