CultivateThe Seed Within

In our noisy world, we often find ourselves longing for peace and searching to find it somwhere else. While it's true that there are places we can visit where we can experience peace, we do not need to wait until we get one of these places to feel peace. Instead, we can learn to locate the seed of peace inside ourselves and cultivate it so that it grows into a reliable source of serenity that we can always access, no matter where we are.
We experience peace when we are in a state of mental calm and serenity. It might surprise you to notice how infrequently you allow yourself to be free from anxiety. Realizing this is the first step to inner peace. It is important to consciously set aside your worreies and make time to cultivate inner peace.
It takes practice to learn how to let go of your worries, so give yourself some time. Inhale deeply, and feel your worries dissolve in every exhale. Remind yourself that soon enough you will be able to take care of everything you need to, but right now you are taking a break. As you clutter of your thoughts and concerns clear away, you will start to feel more serene. Realize that you have the power to free yourself from anxiety simply deciding to do so. The more you practice feeling peaceful, the easier we will feel at peace.
