Just wanted to share my personal little sanctuary with you guys and hear about your own little places that remind you of a different home perhaps.
I have been heading up regularly into the mountains (more like big hills compared to mountains you guys probably have near you) to a national park regularly lately. Since I found the spot about 2 months ago I have been getting regular calls to return.
It's like every week or two I get an insatiable urge to go back there. So I do and every time it is amazing. It is a very old forest/rainforest and the energy there is incredible. It's like a constant static feeling all over my body when I enter the forest. My mind is incredibly clear while in the forest and I find my mental gymnastics as I like to call it are much more effective there. When I hit the right thought sequence instead of a slight increase in energy it feels like the most intense yet joyful pins and needles ever.
So here a few pictures. I spent about 5 hours in the forest yesterday, about 1 hour meditating on a log hehe, an old couple saw me and waved I wonder what was going through there heads lol.
This is the spot where I meditate. It is on a log and quite far of the track, I found it by following a creek for about 1 kilometre randomly and when I saw the log instantly meditating came to my mind. Coincidentally the log seams to be almost to perfect to sit on, it's actually comfier then my pillow at home.
Here is the forest from afar.
And here is looking back down the valley towards my city which you can just make out in the distance.
Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures. We all live in such diverse places I would be interested to see any sanctuary's you guys live by .
