Creating Inner Peace
Life offers us so many wonderful opportunities, especially when we come to each day, each moment, from our highest vision of ourselves. But how do we do that? How do we create that sense of peace within ourselves?
We can start by examining what is ultimately important or of value to us. Take a moment to consider what those are for you. When any situation presents itself, try to remember what is truly important, examine how our reactions/responses fit with those things we value?
If frustrated with someone, strive to look deeper than the obvious situation. What about the situation causes such a strong emotional reaction? Knowing intellectually that no one can make us feel a certain way does not necessarily help us to feel any less annoyed. But it can help us to stop and reflect briefly, giving us an opportunity to respond rather than react.
In Don Miguel Ruis’ book
Lately there has been a great deal of media attention on movies like “The Secret“. These movies are bringing to light ideas that have been around for centuries. The philosophies presented are becoming more popular, partially because of studies in the field of quantum physics. Studies that are proving scientifically what, up until recently were thought of more as belief systems than scientific fact. Science is now proving that we emit vibrations. These vibrations emanate out from us and interface with the vibrations that are sent out by others. This is, in part, why we think that others can make us feel a certain way. But in reality we still have an opportunity to choose. If we choose to focus on (or take personally) what is said and done by others then we absorb those negative vibrations and then we have, in fact allowed them to affect us.
It is, in essence, the simple idea of the power of positive thought. We each, in every moment, have the choice of where we will focus our thoughts. By choosing to focus on what is important to us, what we want to create in our lives, we are pure potential, and nothing can stand in our way of Creating our Best Life of Joy, Gratitude and Inner Peace.
