In moments of solitude, it's beneficial to turn your attention inward, to connect with the deep well of peace and belonging that resides in your soul. Visualizing a nourishing stream flowing from this well can help to rejuvenate the neglected parts of your heart, bringing forth a sense of ease and delight. This practice is especially powerful before sleep, as it allows your spirit to soak in a sense of enrichment throughout the night.
As you awaken after such restorative moments, you may experience a quiet happiness that permeates your being. This gentle start to the day sets a positive tone, helping you to engage with the world from a place of serenity and fulfillment. By cultivating this mindfulness, as suggested by John O'Donohue in "Anam Cara," you can create lasting tranquility in your life.
