Cultivating Inner Peace

Inner peace is a state where the mind, heart and body are in balance.
It needs to be actively worked on to practice clearing the mind of negative thoughts.

Start in small increments, i.e 15-30-45 minutes a day, and focus on any negative thought that comes into the mind and immediately replace it with a positive thought. You really can teach your brain to stay in that positive energy place. Repetition and consistency are key.
Connecting with others is critical for inner peace. People need people. There are even new online groups that have developed (strictly focused on people who want to meditate and develop inner peace; i.e Global Care Room) for people who find it tough to connect with other people in person. Whether electronic or face to face, establishing and developing personal connections helps develop increased feelings of satisfaction in general.
It isn’t surprising to learn that an inner balance app is now available. It helps to intentionally shift heart rhythms to increase peace. A simple sensor plugs into a smart phone and connects to the ear lobe. It helps develop a breathing sequence that aligns breathing and heart rhythms.

OTHER WAYS TO INCREASE PEACE

1. Do one thing at a time.
2. Do it slowly and deliberately.
3. Do it completely.
4. Do less.
5. Put space between things.
6. Develop rituals.
7. Devote time to sitting.
8. Think only about what is necessary.
9. Live simply.

Decide that you want to create inner peace and then commit yourself to working on it. You truly have the power to create the life you want.
