The choice for Peace!

Did you know that peace was a choice?  One we make every single minute of the day.  Contemplate that one!

Right now I believe we all must access this frequency/vibration/feeling of peace as we walk through the uncertainty we all face in the world at this moment

I noticed the other day my mind was in great turmoil.  I was musing over the politics I am watching, my relationship with my daughter, how to invest wisely, on and on the mind kept me in it. I am not in peace.

No peace to be found in the circular habitual mental patterns I was experiencing.  I even noticed not only the thoughts, also the emotional state, then dropped down into my body ! Tension in my shoulders and neck came into awareness.

Now I know better, I have been coaching people out of these states for years.  Yet here I was.  Not even conscious of what the mind was doing on one level.  I truly believed I was “figuring” it all out.

Wrong!!! The result of this accumulated mind field was losing sleep at night, waking up at 3:30 or 4:00.   I did not worry about this, since I also know many mystics awaken at this time to pray, meditate, etc.  I knew I was in good company.

At that point I realized I was not choosing Peace!!!  As I dropped down into the stillness of my own heart…there it was…peace.

So these days when I feel anxiety, overwhelm, confusion I choose to drop into the stillness of my heart and activate peace from within!!

I also notice the outside world looks much different !
