i studied kung-fu for several years and still practice on my own, now when and if i am ever threatened physically i can call upon the nature of self defense and protect myself from harm, but just because i can defend myself very well doesn’t mean i have to beat up everyone who offends me or disagrees with me. is there a force of nature you can call upon, or is it always interfering with your life?
I live in Melbourne, Australia. There is a/the (which word do I use? Is there only one?) Chinese Consulate on my street. I love it because Chinese people do Tai Chi on the nature strip in the morning and it’s so sweet.
Ahem.
But then you also have Embassies… And I know they are in Canberra which is the capital of Australia.
So what’s the difference?

Not deity or deities based. It should have something to do with nature – enjoying it, observing it, whatever. The spiritual aspect would be occult based – things like meditation, psychic “stuff”, etc. There are no regular offerings or rituals, but things like group meditations or intentions, trying to use the power of the mind to change circumstances, would be acceptable.
My idea is still a little unformed. But is there anything out there that sounds even remotely like this?
Oh wow, so many good answers! I now have a huge list to investigate. Guess I’ll have to take a time out from here!
I can’t possibly choose a best answer myself because most of them were so helpful, informative, well-written (always a blessing!) and I can actually feel warm wishes coming from them.
So thank you, thank you, thank you! Let the voting begin.

Relaxing Music Therapy For Stress Relief Relaxing music therapy is a very potent phenomenon. Sounds can soothe you, fire your imagination, bring you to the heights of ecstasy or bring you down to the depths of your soul. Music is known to relax and to help in stress relief. In the right manner, music can bring lightness into a serious situation. Relaxing music therapy can heal, soothe and bring calm tot an agitated mind. Defining “relaxing music” seems a matter of personal choice. Some people find the serene sounds of the waterfall and chirping birds relaxing while others relax with their favorite hard rock. How Does It Work? The therapeutic effect of relaxing sounds seems to have a scientific definition of its own. When the human brain is relaxed it produces more alpha brain waves. When a person is stressed out, his brain produces more beta and theta waves. Beta and theta waves are faster changing brain waves than alpha waves. Within the fight-or-flee logic of a sudden stressful situation, the human brain processes seem to speed up to act faster. This can be helpful in short, specific moments, but it is counter productive when it becomes a chronically state of being. A relaxing tune can help with its sounds typically rich in frequencies that are similar to our alpha type brain waves. The mind is always open to suggestions and thus when a person is agitated or tensed, relaxing sounds, rich in alpha like frequencies, can actually bring brain frequencies down from theta to …
