Inner Peace

Peace is when we find within ourselves the contentment of our inner being. Allow your peace to radiate into the world and in so doing lift those around you. ~ ACN

The dictionary describes peace as “freedom from disturbance; tranquillity.” That sounds almost quite impossible to achieve now doesn’t it.   Yet it isn’t.  In reality peace is relatively easy to achieve. 

When we awaken to what is and accept the responsibility for clearing our issues which we have diligently stowed in our back sacks, eroding away at the rocks of issues one by one, accepting what was and in so doing acknowledging the lesson in the experience and finding forgiveness for all concerned who played a part in the experience, including ourselves.  It is then that we find peace within our being. 

This process may take a while to achieve.  Many of us have lived our lives by simply ignoring those experiences that devastate our souls.  It may be an extremely painful journey to work through these issues one by one.  Often we find that we have thought we have worked through them only to find a few months or years down the road that we still have pebbles of issues remaining and need then to start the process of working through them and eliminating them completely. 

It is important to remember that are not Godzilla and cannot just stomp the issue into the ground.   We should take care to remember to be gentle and compassionate with ourselves throughout the process of letting go.   There is no magic quick fix to this process either.   And importantly, no one is to blame for what has previously happened in our lives.  Some may have harmed and hurt you, you may feel extremely offended by what has happened and so very angry toward they perpetrators of the harm caused you.  It is perfectly natural to feel what you are feeling.  Yet holding on to something that has happened causes more harm to you that anyone else. 

Therefore it is imperative to remember too, that prior to this incarnation you chose to experience certain lessons and contracted to those who have brought them to you to do so.   In saying this, it is necessary to forgive yourself too. 

Having completed the process of letting go and attaining this wonderful sense of peace within your being is a feeling like none other.   You may certainly want to hold it to yourself and for a while you probably will.   There will, however, come a time, when you will radiate that peace rippling it into the world and creating a feeling a peace all around you.   You will certainly find that others are peaceful in your presence.  You will find that you have the ability to face whatever comes your way in a peaceful fashion and will be in acceptance of what happens in the world around you.   This does not mean that you will not feel touched by the atrocities of the world.  Of course you will be, yet you will know within yourself that even though you are not able to change or fix all those disturbing things, just by radiating your peaceful aura change will occur over a period of time.   Throughout the world today we see acts of peace when for example demonstrators may offer law enforcement officers hugs or flowers.  Conflict is never the answer and once you attain inner peace you will feel that there are many other ways to change something in a peaceful fashion.  

Allow your peace to radiate into the world.  See it as a wave of love and harmony flowing out to all around you, human, animal and plant alike.   May blessings flow toward you as you continue your journey in a state of peace.  

In love and light,

Amanda
