I do love the words by Jon Kabat Zin, one of the great exponents of mindfulness,
Imagine:
"That what you knew and what you didn't know,
That what had been and what was yet to come,
And the way things are right now
No longer held even the slightest hint of anxiety or discord? "
These words identify the feeling of being truly peaceful. However, despite such peaceful influences as waves rolling into shore; the sound of rain on a tin roof; or the sweet bird-song of spring; peace does not come from them, it is simply enhanced by them. Outward peace is simply useless without inward peace.
Peace is something that you embody, patiently creating its place and space within you. When you are peaceful and emanate this peace to all around you, on a larger scale you are also contributing peace to the world. You are it - there is no other world.
And remember people are attracted to those who are serene and quietly poised because they want some of what you exude!
As James Allen wrote in his masterful work, "As a man Thinketh", in the early 1900's,
"Calmness of the mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom and is the result of long and patient effort.
The more serene you become clearly the more you will cease to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remain poised, steadfast and tranquil.
Powerful words!
And know that Peace conquers darkness. The darkness of anger, sadness, anxiety, depression, the sense of separation, and the feeling of isolation. It is the sunshine to the psyche and the panacea to the spirit.
You must be peaceful in order to radiate it.
Quote:
Always find a little space in your day so that peace may surface to your conscious awareness and envelop you in its arms. Let the light in!
