Alas, there are no thunderstorms, but I make do!

The sound of water gives me peace.
Whether is the ap, the ocean, a thunderstorm, or water falling gently over stones in the Nueces River.....all is peaceful for me.

Beautifully said! I too have the rainfall app on my phone....I also have a shower or bath to find my inner balance again and go a feed the local Swans. I love thunderstorms and miss living in the tropical countries that had them often. I'm a true Pisces as well!

Breathing deeply usually does that for me now.
Instrumentally quiet music, no lyrics, does it for me as well.
If I want to maintain that peace, I find that *I* am the Orchestrator.

Although I haven't always choosen the most peaceful path to walk in my life, I have peace in knowing that I've grown, experienced and grapped the adventures with both hands and my heart.

Music, especially classical and Maori have always been my constant companions in which I've found my inner peace. My beautiful cats purring is another very peaceful soothing sound.
