Nature's Self Blessing
My best Self-blessing:
Start by sitting for a few minutes, and take a deep breath, and 2 more, then smile...
"May I be healthy, as healthy as I can be." (Have a picture of your self young and healthy on your mind’s eyes, keep it there...) Then say:
"May I be happy, as happy as I can be." (Remember the last time you were happy and relaxed, how does it feel? Enjoy the feeling... Now, find what would make you feel happy today. Visualize it. How does it feel? Keep that image on your mind’s eyes...) Then say:
"May I be at peace." (Imagine yourself radiating love to people around you, to your loved ones, and to all living beings in the world that need love. Be in a giving mode...) Lastly say:
"And, may I have a successful day!" (This is for you to visualize and feel how good it feels when all you want to do today gets done, focus on survival skills, activities, and $ matters as applicable. What would make you successful today? Visualize it, feel the success.....When you are ready say: Amen
This is called Nature's Self Blessing because when we meditate we are one with Nature.
With love, Patrizia Materassi

Close your eyes and say the words below in silence in your
mind; when you say the words visualize what you are saying, and then feel it:

The Aristotle Triangle aligns well with my Sustainability Synthesis
"Text" relates to the Physical Element of my Sustainability Synthesis. "Audience" to the Social Element, and "Author" relates to how well things get done, or how the priorities to reach physical and social goals are implemented; so "Author" relates to the Economic Element in my Sustainability Synthesis. Isn't it neat? My son, while taking a Communications Class, saw the similarity of my sustainability Synthesis with the Aristotle Triangle!

Nearly six weeks ago I visited for the first time the paradise of Hawaii. While it’s easy for visitors to appreciate its sun-kissed beaches and warm ocean breezes, you may not realize Hawaii also is a renewable energy lover’s paradise. Sunshine and wind, especially, are in abundant supply.
