5 Simple Inexpensive Ways to Find Pockets of Healing Quiet

Healing quiet is not necessarily quiet as we understand the word. In this instance it means calm, peace.

This healing quiet I speak of is known to lift the spirit, boost energy and relieve anxious thoughts. And I thought you might like some of that.

Here's 5 ways to find healing quiet.

Positive guided meditation apps - I've used a Christian meditation app called Abide and it is just perfect for a weary, stressed, anxious heart. Don't let the "Christian" scare you. This app is all about soothing your weary heart and uses Bible based principles to guide you to a place of rest and peace. They also incorporate relaxed breathing exercises that are calming and grounding in the most gentle of ways. I like it because it feels like a safe environment, involves short guided meditations and is effective. Tap here to try Abide for yourself.

Relaxing Pomodoro clocks when working, studying etc - I have used Tide and it was life changing. It applies the Pomodoro method which is a system where you do your work in blocks of time--usually about 25 to 30 minutes without stopping or allowing any distractions. When the 25 minute timer runs out, you stop the task and allow yourself time to rest. What I like about this is the discipline it instills in you. And what I like even more about Tide--other than the fact that it is free to download, is that it incorporates relaxing sounds into the Pomodoro timer. Imagine yourself listening to the sounds of a calming brook flowing through a bed of rocks, or the cozy sounds of rain pouring even on a clear dry day, maybe the sound of the wind in a forest as it brushes through the trees, or the sweet chirping of birds in the midst of beautiful morning sounds. Take a moment and just imagine it. Sounds absolutely lovely doesn't it? That's exactly what Tide does for you. It transports you to a peaceful and calming environment whilst you sit at your work/study desk. And trust me that work gets done and it gets done effectively, fast, and while protecting your peace of mind. Try Tide here and send me virtual hugs of gratitude later.

Reading books on the Kindle app - there's something very quiet and healing about cuddling in a corner with a book. And that is made even more convenient when that book is readily available on your phone/tablet. This is why I love using the Kindle app. If it's out there chances are it's on Kindle. They seem to have almost all the books in the world available on there--even manga! And that in my book is impressive. Then it gets even more impressive when you get yourself their Kindle Unlimited subscription. The first month is free AND once you're signed up they have an endless supply of amazing FREE TO READ books on there!! How crazy is that?? Been reading my books from there since 2019 and it still surprises me to this day that some of the best books I have read of my life were basically free to read. I don't know about you but that sounds just down right amazing to me. So go on get your Kindle Unlimited subscription, search for something healing and entertaining, download it to your phone and get going. It will be absolutely revitalizing for your soul.

Listening to Lofi music - lofi music is music that is made in a manner that invokes calm and nostalgia in a quiet and understated way and is meant to help the mind relax. Time seems to stop when you put on your headphones and play a lofi playlist. Your mind forgets to over think, your worries gently float away, your heart seamlessly and effortlessly floats on the understated rhythmic flows of the music. So easy to find and so lovely to listen to. Here's a lofi Spotify playlist I enjoy.

Taking a stroll, going to the rooftop of your apartment/office or standing on the balcony in the quiet hours of the day - something beautiful arises within you when you step into beautiful quiet spaces. Your being takes in the calm and rewards you with peace. So be it at sunrise, sunset, in the middle of the day or even the wee hours of the night, whatever time it is quiet wherever you are (so long as it is safe), throw on something comfortable, step out into that revitalizing quiet, and find peace.

I hope these pockets of quiet bring you the healing and peace you so rightfully deserve.
