Being able to relax and truly experience peace for any length of time these days is becoming increasingly difficult for most of us.
There’s so much craziness occurring in the world. Between threats of food shortages, energy shortages, drought, war, a global financial collapse, strange new illnesses continuing to come on the scene – it’s really challenging to find a sense of peace and optimism about life – or about the future of humanity.
Especially now that there are so many sources warning us about something momentous that may be happening soon. It could be something wonderful – but it could also be something that initially looks and feels really frightening. Or it may end up being a combination of the two.
Whatever it might be, we all have to decide for ourselves what we want to believe or be prepared for. But it does seem as if we are experiencing a build-up to something huge that may impact the entire world sometime before the end of the year.
So, these are times when we really need to discover – or rediscover – a space within us that is deeper than our busy mind and anxious emotions, a space in which we can experience a sense of peace and balance and trust. We all have this space within us – we just may not always remember it’s there or how we can find it.
Perhaps, as you read my description below of that space, you can begin to experience it within yourself, in your own way. For me, it is essentially a space of deep silence and peace.
The Deep Silence Within
You might find this space by initially focusing your awareness on your body, and specifically on your chest, where you sense your Sacred Heart to be. A real sense of relief can come in when you just shift your focus there, leaving your mind behind.
As you focus your attention on your Heart, a quiet energy will likely begin to sift through you, a letting go…and then, as you take time to fall more deeply into it, you may discover a deep silent space that pulls you in, welcoming you.
This Silence is profoundly peaceful, warm, and safe – you can feel yourself wrapped in a soft blanket of deep security here – it is so relaxing, your whole body just begins letting go. This Silence is way deeper than the space in which your mind and your emotions reside – it’s within your body, and yet it is where you can drop into a completely different dimension, a whole different reality, in which thoughts, concerns and body pain are but a faint echo. It’s a feeling of being Home – your true connection to Source.
There’s a clarity here in this Silence – it’s where you discover the real YOU – the eternal, changeless YOU that is always present, always awake, knowing what is going on. It is silent and still — and yet vibrant and alive.
There is a deep and clear understanding of Reality, of what life is. There is no need for words here; and yet, you can come to understand everything you need to know within this deep place. There is no need to make decisions here – they make themselves, and they emerge clear and definite and right.
