In our noisy world, we often find ourselves longing for peace
and searching to find it somewhere else. While it's true that there are
places we can visit where we can experience peace, such as sacred sites or
buildings, we do not need to wait until we get to one of these places to feel
at peace. Instead, we can learn to locate the seed of peace inside ourselves
and cultivate it so that it grows into a reliable source of serenity that we
can always access, no matter where we are.
We experience peace when we are in a state of mental calm and serenity. It
might surprise you to notice how infrequently you allow yourself to be free
from anxiety. Realizing this is the first step to inner peace. If you wait
until all the details of your life are taken care of to allow yourself to
experience peace, you will never feel peaceful because there is always
something that your mind can grab onto to create anxiety. It is important to
consciously set aside your worries and make time to cultivate inner
peace.
Ideally, you could schedule time each day to meditate on peace and experience
what it feels like to be calm and serene. It takes practice to learn how to
let go of your worries, so give yourself some time. Inhale deeply, and feel
your worries dissolve with every exhale. Remind yourself that soon enough you
will be able to take care of everything you need to, but right now you
are taking a break. As the clutter of your thoughts and concerns clear
away, you will start to feel more serene. Allow yourself to move deeper into this
state with each inhale. Realize that you have the power to free yourself from
anxiety simply by deciding to do so. The more you practice feeling peaceful,
the easier it will be for you to feel at peace.
