Peace of mind....... What do those words convey to you? Rest, relaxation, tranquility? These are just a few of the feelings that should surround your entire being. And they need to be more than feelings for there is an inherent necessity for them to become a part of you, a new way that your life is fashioned. Peace of mind will also direct your state of mind, as with today's hurried world, it is important to set aside precious time and energy to take care of yourself.

Begin with a focus on yourself. Transform your mood positively with a special environment of your choice. A softly lit bathroom bathed in fragrant candlelight starts a delightful journey to your new senses. Shower simply with soaps that contain fragrances that delight your senses or bathe in warm water tempered with oils or salts that will please the inner person. As you gently wash the body that is yours, tingling sensations will build a new vibrance that release the mundane stresses of the day. Soft music will enhance the plateau of joy you will reach.

After you have toweled off, apply complementing lotions to provide a mental walk through your field of choice. If so inclined and available, a massage with special oils from a loved one, will place you in that restful state that effects your total mental being.
