Reflection is a relaxed mental state that allows thoughts to come and go freely without trying to figure anything out. Sitting comfortably while staring at a nice view, under a tree on a warm day, or by a fire on a cold night provides conditions good for reflection. Reflection is a gateway to insight, wisdom, and healing the soul, as deep thoughts and realizations can come through relaxing the mind and allowing casual conversation with long periods of silence. The art of reflection is the art of gaining wisdom by letting thoughts settle within and seeing what reflects back from the soul.
