Hi ,
In the last week - someone/something stepped up the intensity of this world.
Is this your experience?
Well my world's intensity is definitely upped ... and I hear of so many with challenging times right now.
What I find fascinating is that the more intense and challenging and often emotional times in our world becomes that is exactly when we forget about inner peace.
I think because it seems far away and out of grasp certainly as challenges mount.
So today is about remembering - we have these practises, we have this knowledge of what inner peace can do for us our experience and in our world.
We know our inner peace is still within - and the challenges of our world leave us often in emotional states and now inner peace can be hard to come by.
And yet it is the remembering of our practises.
The best way to create an opportunity to remember is to...
stop whatever we are doing.
Take a deep breath or even 3 - use your fingers to count out 5 breaths, feel and connect within and give yourself some space, some inkling of inner peace.
So I invite you to remember that your inner peace is only a breath and thought away.
Over time we have shared many inner peace practises that are available to all of us.
Now we need more than every to employ them.
We can allow our emotions to release the tension, the constant 'what now' and just be in this moment.
Some ideas below - we know these - we are being called to practise and connect with our own inner sanctuary of peace.
- Start by placing a hand on your heart and really connecting there, then...
- Take 5 or 10 deep breaths, counted easily with your fingers
- Focus on parts of your body sequentially from feet to head and say in your mind ... 'relax toes' etc. - even this, to get to the head can be a great way to enhance focus and your inner peace
- Close your eyes to follow your breath and listen inside - just watching the thoughts go by like clouds - they come and they go
Utilize these practices, build your skills, reinforce those inner peace neural pathways so they become stronger.
It may not be getting easier out there though with the power of our mind we can create inner peace.
Be the beam of love and light in your world that is your true nature.
How about an hour of inner peace and a more relaxed and flexible body?
Yes come, check it out and try a Somatic Stretch® class.
We focus our attention on our inner being and the sensations that guide us to relax in our inner world.
It truly is inner peace for mind and body.

It's easy, just wear loose fitting clothes and bring a cushion/pillow/blanket and settle in for an amazing experience of ease.
We stretch by relaxing rather than reaching.
We focus on the experience, not reaching for a goal.

Wendy
