The Inner Peace Now Podcast Adam Oakley

Recently during a group Zoom call I began by talking about the attempt to quieten the mind, and how to make it easier.

Trying to silence or calm the mind through force can create extra tension. If we realise that this calmness or quietness is all around us all the time, then it is easier for the noise to merge with that silence naturally. Below you can watch a short clip of me explaining this little tip that can make meditation easier. I hope it helps...

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well.

During recent group Zoom meetings I have been asked if the desire for happiness or the desire to feel good implies resistance against negativity within ourselves.

"If I want to be happy, does that mean I am in resistance to unhappiness?"

I would say not necessarily. Happiness is a natural preference, in the same way that pleasant food is preferred over garbage. Once the fight against unhappiness or negativity starts to come to an end, there gradually becomes more space for us to choose a way to feel, if we want to do such a thing.

I go into more detail in this clip from a recent Zoom call.

Hello everyone,

During a recent group Zoom meeting for inner peace, someone began asking about how to move out of negative self-stories. This led to a response about the mind ultimately seeking some sense of existence or security, and how this sense of security could be accessed directly in a much more enjoyable way. Then there is a segment about inner peace - how you can treat it as an infinite and abundant energy that is constantly around you and flowing through you, and you are either noticing it, or not...

I hope this video has been helpful for you.

All the best,

Adam Oakley

How much do we really need the resistance that we carry around in our day-to-day lives?

Questioning the usefulness of some of our mental/emotional habits can be a quick way to expose what no longer needs our support....

Sometimes when I talk with people during one-to-ones, there can be a certain "spiritual conditioning" that ends up suppressing natural creative thoughts or desires.

It's good to feel good. There are no downsides when it all comes from within...

I hope this is helpful.

An article I wrote for the UK charity "Youth Mental Health Matters" who work with young people in the UK. I hope this serves people well. Of course, it's also for anyone who considers themselves older than "young".
