SHORT
CUTS TO PEACE
© 2004 Melynnique Seabrook
What
is peace
-
Love brings peace
-
expansion; comes by accepting ones' self just as he or she is and every
moment, just as it is, staying focused inside one's heart or center
Blocks
to Peace
-
negativity; ego-based behavior; "I & Mine" separation
-
previous programming of mind--old habits
-
judgment & guilt
-
poor environment (not conducive to staying focused in the heart)
Aids
to Removing Blocks to Peace
- positive
affirmations
-
meditation--one-pointedness
-
associate with loving people; stay away from negative people
-
relax and let go; let go of past limitations and programming
-
don't be afraid to try new things every day; let the mind explore new avenues
-
don't worry about what other people think
-
develop understanding & compassion for all beings
-
deep breathing releases stagnation
-
chanting or toning
-
spend time in nature
-
creative writing with left or non-dominant hand
-
stay focused in love with each precious moment as it comes
-
when wallowing in self-pity, go outside on a clear night & gaze at the stars--it
will always make us aware of how small we are & how big God is
-
stay grounded--connection to Mother Earth is important
-
being a witness to our own actions helps to keep us from becoming too involved
in our ego-selves
-
breathe love into the heart center & exhale all negativity
How
- give
yourself some time for earnest communion with God every day--plug in
-
observe nature; she can teach us how to stay close to God
-
know that every moment is a blessing!
-
lay down on the grass; feel the blessings of Mother Earth
