Inner peace might be perceived as difficult to attain in this frenetic world. Our minds are filled with thoughts and worries, which make it tough for us to remain still. But there is one easy way out to find inner peace is awareness.
That is making the moment present, awareness and paying attention. It means that one can notice his thoughts without judgment and allow himself to feel what he feels. When we are aware, it stops our running from our feelings and we accept. This soft acceptance is where peace is born.
Imagine that you are sitting in a quiet room, only observing your thoughts passing by, like clouds in the sky. There is nothing to be reached for, or pushed away, Observe only. This calm observation, with time and practice, becomes a habit that helps us find an inner space within ourselves where peace prevails.
Well, that doesn’t mean you won’t have ups and downs. You will. Life won’t change that. It’s just that with awareness, we build a solid, calm foundation from which we respond and deal with what comes up.
If inner peace is what you are searching for, then remember that all of it starts with awareness. Take a few minutes every day of your life to observe your thoughts, breathe deep, and just let go. It was there all the time and inner peace is waiting for you to notice.
