FINDING YOUR PERSONAL PEACE

To live our lives peacefully is a desire born in all of us. We feel a deep inner need to experience our personal world from the calm of our own loving heart. As every day brings new challenges, the serenity we seek often seems difficult to find.

Fortunately, many of us are successful in calming our thoughts and emotions through meditation. Meditation takes many different forms. We may repeat in the manner of a mantra “I am at peace, I am at peace, I am at peace.”

Some of us may choose from the hundreds of possible affirmations which are designed to calm our soul and ground our energies.

I know of one serene soul who regularly writes to her angels as a way of accessing peace for herself and her family.

In our need to relax and recoup our vitality, some of us pray to that high energy we see as an all powerful cosmic force or to our idea of god. Every religion or spiritual group has its prescribed way of accessing the state of peace, the stillness.

WE LONG FOR THE PEACE OF THE STILLNESS THAT WE MAY CLEARLY HEAR THE VOICE OF SPIRIT. We want guidance, direction, wisdom. When our own worries are occupying every thought of ours, peace becomes just a wish or a dream. The need to step away from our own turmoil is not only necessary but from moment to moment it can become urgent.

Thinking on all of these things, I began to wonder if there might be one, just one, sure fire method of becoming peaceful at any given moment. And, yes, I do believe there is one specific, effective and easy way to bring peace to yourself now, this minute.

That method is pure and simple gratitude. It is thankfulness for everyone and everything in your life. If ever you find yourself whirling in the proverbial life stew, stop! Begin to look at every good and bad thing in your life and be grateful.

Of course it is obvious that you appreciate the “good” for the pleasure it brings, but know also that your experience of the “bad” is offering you a wonderfully powerful way to learn and to grow. EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE IS THERE TO TEACH AND INSPIRE YOU!

Be assured that you cannot experience stress, worry and fear at the same time that you are mentally and emotionally entertaining a state of pure gratitude. Decide today to make thankfulness a daily part of your spiritual practice. GRATITUDE IS LOVE EXPRESSED.

Express your gratitude and thankfulness often. Express that emotion to your spirit and soul. Express it to yourself, to your loved ones, to your friends as well as to your difficult acquaintances! Speak the words and write notes of thankfulness. Gratitude is a dynamic powerful tool that always brings peace and joy to your life.
