Some excellent answers here folks!
Madgael and Tina...and anyone else with an ocean fetish...I never have felt at peace with the ocean...to me it's angry, loud and violent.
Isn't it funny how different we are...and still we're the same...(oh man...how profound did you expect me to be anyway??? LOL)

I can understand you feeling that way about the ocean.

For me,I have always felt that in part it is my home away from home.I cant even swim.
Almost drowned twice.Cant explain it other then I gain peace.
Maybe I was a dolphin in one of my past lives.

Depends on how I am unbalanced.

One of my favorite things is what Roger and I call Oregon/Seattle days (respectively). Cloudy, misty cool days. we love to go outside and drink coffee and talk.

Also days that are either hot and sunny with a cold breeze; Cold with a warm breeze (Chinook); dry, hot and slightly breezy but not enough to actually change the temperature.

Those all remind me of being a kid and automatically those days rebalance me.

So does snow....hate the cold but love the snow!

Seems there is a water theme here--sorry Mom, you're the mountain gal, though I'd be up in the mountains if I were near them.

For me, just being outside, breathing, especially if the sun is shining (doesn't matter the temperature, just let me breathe the outdoor air). I know, city air isn't as clean as country air, but I have to take what I can get.

When I feel disconected from my spirituality, I like to make a silent retreat. I like going up to the mountains or if possible to the seaside. I like to hear the sound of the Ocean it reminds me of the Divine OM.

...we misplace our spirituality...we're taking that as a given k? My question is where do you go to reclaim it?

Rake and I took a drive one day...and got off the right road...lol. We went through this area of green, green rolling fields, the kind that make you want to take off your shoes and run barefoot. The leaves were changing and the colors were magnificent. I was soaking the energy up.

I always knew that the mountains made my spirit soar but this was amazing to me...I mean fields along the roadway were giving me this feeling of connection I hadn't felt in a while.

Where do you get "it" back and where is the most surprising place for you?

[infinkPoode]

Frankly....I don't belive you can misplace your spirituality......

Now...my Awareness can be placed in many different areas......

[royarnekara]

Aaargh...words...so ineffective sometimes.
I think you know what I mean though...those times when you don't feel as centered...when you feel like you've kind of lost your way...is that better?

[IntinyBut]

Yeah..I view those as great opportunities to see why I am not paying attention.....some belief....some choice I am making...many times stripping that away "brings me back".

[zlopikanikanza]

I play with my kids or my cats or Otis. They remind me of who I am!

[Quaganoca]

A rosary will do it, or a good meditation... But the ocean... the sound of it, the scent and body surfing in it. There's nothing like being inside the wave.

Certain places can recharge the batteries, so to speak. Places most near the coastline work best for me.

[Jesslovers]

Madgael, The ocean/waves do it for me as well,more then any other place.

At times though I do long for the forest,I grew up with woods all around me,streams running threw.


When I feel my self slipping, I go to the beach,and meditate.

The mountains and the ocean are powerful
places to connect with my spirituality. I still
connect with Churches, my first introduction
to the Father,Son, and Holy Ghost (spirit) is
still part of who I am even though I no longer
belong to organized religion. when I go to down
town Boston. I will visit the Saint Anthony's
Shrine, they are a very active church and their
doors are open throughout the day as all RC
churches once were. In New Hampshire there's
an out door Catherdal where my daughter got
married. Just type in "Cathderal of the pines"
and the picture with info will come up. A place
worth visiting if your in that area and want to
connect with your spirituality

Hi Connie, water baby here BIG time. I love to swim and surf (although I use a board). I posted before how much fun it is to surf with a priestess at five in the morning. That sort of stuff gets me going big time.

Prayer can do it too. The rosary centers me, but so does taking to a tree or an animal. Just being by myself can do it, too.
