Another Piece of Peace, Please

It is my belief that peace, true inner peace, cannot and should not be sought after or looked for, because it already exists in each and every one of us. The reason why some of us do not feel “at peace” is because we still have yet to accept and embrace the truth that each of us, as individuals, are ultimately responsible for our own sense of feeling "at peace". We are required to nurture, protect, and give peace the great care and consideration it deserves in our everyday life. This is necessary in order for the peace to sustain itself within us.

The first step to discovering your “Piece of Peace” is to start looking from within to uncover what your peace feels like. What brings you joy? What daily routines do you have that are in harmony with your mind and spirit? These are often keys that unlock our inner peace. Our perception of the daily events within our control, or even beyond it, has a great effect on the soul’s ability to experience peace. Start living your life in a manner that is consistent with the mind and body’s perception of peace.

Eating healthy foods intended for human consumption to avoid dis-ease and dis-comfort in the physical body and feed your mind daily with positive and encouraging thoughts. It is a fact that stress negatively impacts your physical health. When we are less stressed our breathing is more relaxed. Breathing is essential, so important that our bodies were perfectly designed to do it reflexively, without us even thinking about it. Research and implement daily routines for proper breathing techniques. This will aid the body with the flow of oxygen and will decrease stress.

Before we were ever physically born into this life, we experienced true inner peace in our mother’s womb. We were already equipped to experience a spiritual peace for eternity, but unfortunately, our brains have been trained and reconditioned to experience a life that is far from the way our souls in these physical bodies were designed to thrive. We have to retrain our brains and be in a harmonic synch with our physical bodies.

Also begin to unlearn the negative behaviors and habits we have accepted as the norm, for they are drawing us even farther from the divine understanding of self and how we interact with the community and the environment. We must remove from our lives the addictions and habits that are detrimental to our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Listen and seek answers from within. You will find peace of mind, body, and spirit there.
