Relaxing Sounds of Wind in the Meadow (Relaxation Meditation)
Do you have trouble sleeping?
White noise is a type of noise that is produced by combining sounds of all different frequencies together. If you took all of the imaginable tones that a human can hear and combined them together, you would have white noise. The adjective "white" is used to describe this type of noise because of the way white light works. White light is light that is made up of all of the different colors (frequencies) of light combined together (a prism or a rainbow separates white light back into its component colors). In the same way, white noise is a combination of all of the different frequencies of sound. You can think of white noise as 20,000 tones all playing at the same time.

Waterfire Providence
Barnaby Evans’ WaterFire® is an artwork involving movement, participation and surprise. When visitors encounter WaterFire, they cannot absorb the sculpture from just their sense of sight or even from a single vantage point — they must walk through the installation and they must use all five of their senses. WaterFire is full of motion — throughout the night the firetenders stoke the fires, the boats move past the flames, the rivers flow quietly beneath the braziers, and the flickering flames reflect off the dark surface of the water animating the architectural fabric of the city.
The multi-sensory stimulation of WaterFire transforms our perception of the urban landscape. WaterFire opens all of our senses to our surroundings Ñ it is an invitation to slow down and walk through the city in the European tradition of the paseo and the passeggiata. We savor the artwork’s surprises, view the city’s vistas and mingle with our fellow citizens. In the process we recreate the public space of downtown Providence.
Ceremony:
Expression of shared feelings and attitudes through more or less formally ordered actions of an essentially symbolic nature performed on appropriate occasions. A ceremony involves stereotyped bodily movements, often in relation to objects possessing symbolic meaning. Ceremonies express, perpetuate, and transmit elements of the value and sentiment system and . they intensify the solidarity of the participants

Gerber Daisy (Spring is In The Air) HD
One look at these beautiful daisies with their bold colors and it is easy to see why gardeners are fascinated with gerber daisies.
They are also known by their botanical name, Gerbera, and as Transvaal daisies. Their long-lasting flowers are gorgeous, with
satiny petals surrounding a prominent center. Each gerber daisy bloom can be as much as 4 or 5 inches across. The foliage grows as
a low mound of large, rich green leaves. Native to South Africa, gerber daisies are actually perennials in warm climates. In our
climate, they are grown as an annual or an indoor plant.
Gerber daisies are often used indoors because of their stunning beauty, but their longevity is limited. For optimum enjoyment, buy
a plant that is just beginning to bloom and has several buds developing. Under the best of circumstances, gerber daisies may bloom
for 6 weeks or more. Once the plant begins to languish, let it go. If it is early summer, it could be planted out in a sunny
location with well-drained soil where it may bloom on until frost.

Life As A Clownfish in HD
MUSIC BY:MystiMayhem http://www.youtube.com/mystimayhem Check her out!
The clownfish is a type of fish that lives in salt water habitats. It is also called an Anemonefish. Clownfish are typically very
bright, orange fish that have three white stripes, one at the head, middle and tail. If you look really closely, you may notice
that there are thin black lines around the white stripes. Also, the tips of their fins have a thin black rounded stripe.
Clownfish can grow to be from 2 to 5 inches long. The males tend to be significantly smaller than the females. However, there are
various types of clownfish that range in colours from blue to yellow.
Clownfish live in a "symbiotic" relationship with certain anemones. This means they benefit from living with the sea anemone, and
the sea anemone benefits from the presence of the clownfish. They are the only fish that are able to live in sea anemones and not
get stung by their tentacles. Clownfish are very active fish and are extremely aggressive. Because they are quite active, the
clownfish are thought to be "clowning around". They defend their territory and the sea anemone that they live in. Clownfish eat
the leftovers from fish on the anemone and algae. The leftovers include copepods, isopods and zooplankton.
Clownfish have a few ocean predators, but their greatest threat is humans. People who catch clownfish and keep them as pets in
aquariums are making a mistake. There are only ten out of more than one thousand types of anemone that are able to host these
fish. Many people put the fish in a tank with the wrong anemone. In captivity, the clownfish can live from 3 to 5 years. In the
wild, they live 6 to 10 years.
What is Symbiosis?
Symbiosis describes the special relationship between clownfish and sea anemones. They are the only fish that do not get stung by
the tentacles of the sea anemone. Clownfish have a slimy mucus covering that protects them from the sea anemone. However, if this
covering is wiped off of a clownfish, it will get stung and possibly be killed when it returns home to the anemone. The clownfish
and the sea anemone help each other survive in the ocean. The clownfish, while being provided with food, cleans away fish and
algae leftovers from the anemone. In addition, the sea anemones are given better water circulation because the clownfish fan their
fins while swimming about.
Where do Clownfish Live?
Clownfish live at the bottom of the sea in sheltered reefs or in shallow lagoons, usually in pairs. Clownfish have a special
relationship with the anemone and are very important to them. They are a large help to the anemone as they clean the anemone by
eating the algae and other food leftovers on them. They also protect the sea anemones by chasing away polyp-eating fish, such as
the butterfly fish.
What is the Life Cycle of the Clownfish?
The spawning season of the clownfish, a time when they breed, is year round in tropical waters. Males attract the females by
courting. Courting behaviours include chasing, biting and extending fins. Clownfish lay their eggs in batches on coral, rock or
next to the sea anemone that they call home. The male clownfish will build a nest on the rock or coral near the anemone in order
to be provided with protection from predators. Breeding starts by the male chasing the female to the nest where the eggs are
released. One hundred to one thousand eggs are laid. The male clownfish guards and protects the eggs until they hatch. They hatch
within 4 to 5 days.
What are Some Special Characteristics of the Clownfish?
In a group of clownfish, there is a strict hierarchy of dominance. The largest and most aggressive female is found at the top.
Only two clownfish, a male and a female, in a group reproduce through external fertilization. The clownfish are hermaphrodites,
meaning that they develop into males first, and when they mature, they become females. Also, as mentioned earlier, more than one
clownfish is able to live in a sea anemone. If the female clownfish is removed from the group, such as by death, one of the
largest and most dominant males would become a female. The rest of the remaining males will move up a rank on the hierarchy.

Relaxing Aquarium (watch in HD)
There are some who claim that the serene setting in which the fish swim about reduces stress. By witnessing a whole other world where everything is fluid, slow motion we lose ourselves in tranquility. The colors are vibrant and uplifting, the gentle hum of the filter that gurgles out an almost inaudible bubbling also produces a soothing effect. You begin to live
vicariously through the fish that have no deadlines, appointments or obligations, they simply swim. You almost become hypnotized. It is basically an escape. Also as a soothing element to relax people in stressful environments. Some believe that seeing fish swim about helps us to forget our worries and ease our minds.

Bubbling Icy Brook (relaxation meditation)
Self hypnosis basically is a method that quiets and relaxes your body. It places you in an altered state, not unlike that of which is achieved in meditation. A vital aspect of this technique is mental imagery which helps you to focus inward.
The imagery may involve the descending a set of stairs or visualizing a quiet spot that like a deserted beach. Some individuals visualize walking barefoot through a forest with soft moss gently caressing their feet, a relaxing brook bubbling in the background and even the smell of the damp earthiness of the forest floor surrounding them.
Self hypnosis is one of the least understood health-related therapies used today. Some experts believe that self hypnosis causes the brain to release natural substances which affect your perception of pain as well as other symptoms of your health problems. Another theory proposes that this method allows you to actually control the reactions of your body through your unconscious mind.
While there are many similarities between hypnosis and self hypnosis, there are some differentiating factors. In self hypnosis you are completely in charge. You choose your own time limits that you stay in your alpha state, you choose what health concerns you emphasize and you choose when you do this. With this freedom, you can adjust your self-hypnosis schedules to fit your lifestyle as well as to discover the most effective time and length of session to be beneficial.
Self hypnosis is also a wonderful tool to treat stress – which in itself is the underlying cause of many chronic health conditions. Not only that, but stress can exasperate any health problem. Even if all self hypnosis does for you is to help you manage the many stressors that are lurking everywhere with today’s busy lifestyle, it’s performed a valuable function.
But self hypnosis can also help you achieve many healthy lifestyle changes in your life as well. You can go into your alpha state to reinforce your desire to follow an exercise program regularly. But it can also be a boost to helping you get rid of unhealthy habits as well. That’s why so many people use hypnosis to lose weight and quit smoking.
Self hypnosis is not a technique that everyone can use easily, though. Some individuals find that as much as they try they can’t overcome their initial prejudices and preconceived ideas about the stereotypical aspects of hypnosis. Others find that they can’t produce that relaxed alpha state required for the hypnotic suggestions to become fully embedded in their subconscious.
It’s true that self hypnosis requires more focus and more practice than some alternative health methods, like exercise. But having said that, self hypnosis may also be a great choice for an individual who cannot fully participate in many exercises.
