“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”

In philosophy, essence is the attribute or set of attributes that make an entity or substance what it fundamentally is, and which it has by necessity, and without which it loses its identity.
Essence is contrasted with accident: a property that the entity or substance has contingency, without which the substance can still retain its identity. The concept originates with Aristotle, who used the Greek expression to ti ên einai (literally meaning “the what it was to be” and corresponding to the scholastic term quiddity) or sometimes the shorter phrase to ti esti (literally meaning “the what it is” and corresponding to the scholastic term haecceity) for the same idea.
This phrase presented such difficulties for its Latin translators that they coined the word essentia (English “essence”) to represent the whole expression. For Aristotle and his scholastic followers, the notion of essence is closely linked to that of definition.

Soothing as soothing can be … the power of the written word.
Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhī know more popularly in the English-speaking world simply as Rumi (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic.
Rumi’s importance is considered to transcend national and ethnic borders. His poems have been widely translated into many of the world’s languages and transposed into various formats.
He has been described as the “most popular poet in America” and the “best selling poet in the US”.
“The Power Is Within You …. Who are you? Why are you here? What are your beliefs about life? For thousands of years, finding the answers to these questions has meant going within. But what does that mean?
I believe there is a Power within each of us that can lovingly direct us to our perfect health, perfect relationships, perfect careers, and which can bring us prosperity of every kind. In order to have these things, we have to believe first that they are possible. Next, we must be willing to release the patterns in our lives that are creating conditions we say we do not want. We do this by going within and tapping the Inner Power that already knows what is best for us. If we are willing to turn our lives over to this greater Power within us, the Power that loves and sustains us, we can create more loving and prosperous lives.
I believe that our minds are always connected to the One Infinite Mind, and therefore, all knowledge and wisdom is available to us at any time. We are connected to this Infinite Mind, this Universal Power that created us, through that spark of light within, our Higher Self, or the Power within. The Universal Power loves all of Its creations. It is a Power for good and It directs everything in our lives. It doesn’t know how to hate or lie or punish. It is pure love, freedom, understanding, and compassion. It is important to turn our lives over to our Higher Self, because through It we receive our good.”
We all have all we need within us. We have all the answers.
The main thing is to learn how to listen to our souls and trust our intuition.
It is a well known fact that we can’t live without water. It’s an essential substance to sustain life.
~~WATER IS IMPORTANT~~
Two thirds of the earth’s surface is covered by water The human body consists of 75 percent of it. Evidently water is one of the prime elements responsible for life on earth. Water circulates through the land just as it does through the human body, transporting, dissolving, replenishing nutrients and organic matter, while carrying away waste material.
In the body, it functions as a “regulator” of the activities of fluids, tissues, cells, lymph, blood and glandular secretions.
Yet, we must never forget the role water plays in spirituality and soul renewal. Looking and listening to running water have been proven to release stress and promote relaxation.
I’m presenting a gallery of photos portraying bodies of water. Look at the pictures and be transported. Let go of the daily stress, the daily routine and travel to places of wonder, beauty and renewal.
The body needs nourishment … the soul does too.

“I had the inspiration for this video one day recently as I sat meditating by the side of a stream. The message of water, and it’s symbolism can be found throughout history. One of my favorite quotes from Rumi came to mind, “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” The first time I read this quote it burned the truth of it in my Soul, as we are All One, and part of everything. Our Creator designed things like that, and we can connect to that Source in Nature.
As I sat by the stream, I felt impressed that making a video about the story of water would be something which would carry a message for those who will see and hear the significance of the symbolism. The name of Cosimo came to mind, as I love his music, and felt he might have something to fit what I had in mind. I contacted him on Facebook, and told him what I was looking for. He sent me a version of this song to listen to, and I immediately know it was perfect. I asked if he would allow me to make a video, and he readily agreed. He even went as far as to make a new recording of it which is the one you will hear in this video. Many Thanks to Cosimo, and his wonderful talent on the guitar. I have been blessed to meet people on this journey who speak the same language of Love in spite of being from different parts of the World …
