Peace reminders...

As so many are going through times of intense change, financial strife, relationship changes, job loss, etc. many find this to be a challenging time.

We are asked to remember some very simple things in order to move through it.

First, breathe. Develop and practice breathing as a constant minute to minute habit.

Second, pray and meditate. Develop and practice your solitary prayer and meditation time to strengthen your connection to God and to your soul. This will steady you to bring you through the difficult moments.

Third, smile and be happy. Despite what appears to be strife, this is simply God and Goddess' way of creating long-lasting change on planet Earth, something which we have all been praying for.

Fourth, be in nature as much as you can. Nature will absorb and support much of the stress we feel as humans. Nature reminds us of the simplicity of life and how we can find beauty everywhere. We see it in the trees, the flowers, insects, the sky, absolutely every precious part of nature we touch brings us more peace.

Fifth, create. Create anything new for yourself. This could be a new project, hobby, career, or any creative art such as singing or dancing.

Sixth, play. Make time to do fun things and laugh. Laugh as much as you breathe. Find absolutely nothing to laugh about and laugh. It works! :-)

Seventh, rest. When we get stressed, we tend to push ourselves harder, drink more caffeine and eat unhealthy foods. Stay on top of this by resting when you feel stressed.

Eighth, exercise. Same as rest, it gets out the tension. Simply put, endorphins are very very good.

Don't forget your flower essences, essential oils, herbal teas, etc... all the little things you can do to stay balanced during the day.

I can't get through these days myself without singing all day. This is my main form of prayer, devotional chanting. We each have our own way of staying in peace.

What is yours?

Wishing you blessings of love. Remember miracles happen easily every day. Unlimited possibilities are there for everyone.

Om shanti,
Love,
