This struck me when I went to bed last night and as I layed in bed in the dark with my eyes closed I thought to myself, I could be in a bed in Paris or Australia or even Colorado for that matter. Okay, physically I would not wake up in any of those places in reality, I could just as well have been anywhere at that moment. Anywhere in the universe.
I have oft closed my eyes and imagined I was in the cosmos, just part of that space among the stars. You have all seen pictures of the beauty of that and in just closing your eyes, think yourself there, too. You are really made of that anyway and are a part of it, so why not enjoy just being there? If only for a little while.
Our imagination is so powerful we can create sights and sounds and smells out of thin air just by closing our eyes and I do it all the time. Stressing out a bit? Close your eyes and go somewhere else, away from your stress or whatever is causing it (well, honestly you are, as it is your belief about a thing that causes it and not the actual thing itself) and just be wherever you want to be, for that moment. Stress relieved. And even after you open your eyes, stay with that feeling of wherever you went and stress cannot rear its ugly little head.
Peace can be found just by being still and closing your eyes and going where your heart desires. And so:
Close your eyes and your mind can take you anywhere your heart desires to go
