Where Does Peace Begin?

What prevents you from experiencing peace each day?

When you look back at the last few weeks, what are the things that pulled your peace out from within you?

Was it a person, a place, a situation, a thought or simply life?

If you are able to connect to that place where peace begins, then peace will always be available.

As you grasp this unshakable foundation of peace, you soon see that regardless of what the outer world brings your way, your peace cannot be disturbed unless you are unwilling to honor it.

So where does it begin?

Let’s explore.

The Place of Peace

As we venture out in search of peace, it’s interesting where most of us start.

We look to the people we’re around, the government, our workplace and our day-to-day experiences. If we start our search outside of ourselves, peace will be forever fleeting.

Truth is, peace begins within you.

How to Connect With Peace

The best way I’ve found to connect to this peace, isn’t through a book, though books can assist along the journey.

It isn’t by exploring some “sacred” place, doing yoga all day, changing your diet, or chanting for hours, though these have a place from time to time.

The greatest way I’ve found to connect to peace is found in the breath I breathe.

It is found in the depths of my heart and consciousness.

When I remain aware of this spirit-mind-body connection, I understand that disharmony can only exist within myself when I give it power.

Inner peace is our natural programming until we let our minds run uncontrolled, at the mercy of the outside world.

3 Keys to Inner Peace

1 – Conscious Breathing – Everything happens in this moment, including the springs of peace within you. Your breath connects you to this.

2 – Think Consciously – If you can’t control your thoughts or empower the thoughts you’d like to see grow, you will drift throughout life. Conscious thought is a key to lasting peace.

3 – Love and Gratitude – Compassion and thankfulness for life on a daily basis is an elixir for peace.

Imagine what the world would look like if we honored that infinite spring of peace inside of ourselves.
