What are the moments that make you smile? Cooking, walking, eating, or celebrating with family and friends? Can you tap in to those memories when you need to feel peace?

Try this meditation for one minute every day, or longer if you want to:

WHAT SIGHTS, SOUNDS, AND SMELLS are part of your happy memories? Make them vivid in your mind. Stay with the mood and notice its components.

This meditation was adapted from A Mindful Day: 365 Ways to Live Life With Peace, Clarity, and an Open Heart, by David Dillard-Wright. How did it go for you? Share your thoughts and feelings in Shorelines and you’ll be entered to win a copy of the book!
