Creating tranquility can be challenging while keeping a busy life going with never-ending tasks. It may seem like tranquility is a waste of time that could be spent sleeping or scrolling through other peoples’ lives, maybe even watching them create tranquility.

What feels tranquil to you? Is it complete silence, meditative music or a busy city at a distance? Well, tonight it’s raining hard in Philadelphia with a mixture of force and sound that is hitting wood, metal and concrete in a relaxing way. The rain was the perfect backdrop for a candlelit shower so I grabbed my favorite Limoncello scented candle and had a rainforest like experience in the concrete jungle. I feel so relaxed now and I know I will be sleeping well tonight. Treat yourself to something tranquil that is just for you.

Meditation comes in many forms and is accompanied by various rituals. The details that embody a meditation practice are very personal. It is not necessary for one to reach enlightenment or seek out a guru to feel at peace in a living or working space.

One simple way to create a sense of tranquility at home is by...ready, it's so easy and almost as if you already do it automatically... taking a deep breath on purpose. That's right, taking a deep breath, inhale for a count of five, hold that breath for a moment and then exhale for a count of five transforms human cells and calm the mind.

Breathing is where meditation starts. It is the most incredible release of stress and anxiety. It's free and can be done any time of day. Try this breathing technique before entering home after working, then do it again before going into a work environment. It is a great way to release what has happened and bring the mind to the present moment.

To take that to the next level, find a soft and pleasant scent that makes you feel light and free. This scent can be found in a hand soap, candle, tea, citrus fruit or essential oil.

These are the simplest ways to start to feel at OM.
