We can learn to
locate the seed of peace inside ourselves in order to have a reliable source
of serenity. 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. |
