Where Peace Dwells, Fear Cannot
I recently have been asking the question “What are the
thoughts and beliefs you hold that are blocking your total access to Love,
Peace and Freedom?”
When we are feeling agitated, stressed, anxious or fearful
it is a sure sign that a belief is jumping up and preventing access to our
peace. Have you noticed how you can be going about your day in a happy way and
one little thing can occur which causes you to go into a state of upset? Or the
other way around: You wake up in a grouchy mood and feel a dark cloud hanging
over you, then something “good” happens and you suddenly shift into
happiness?
Most of the thoughts and beliefs we have that block our
access to peace are simply fear.
Circumstances change constantly. One moment things are one
way so we choose to have thoughts that affect us like this, and then things
change so we choose to have thoughts like that. What if you became more
conscious of all this fear based choosing and began to choose thoughts which
open the door to your inner peace?
You have the opportunity to do this all the time. You have
the ability to do it too….even when it seems really hard or even impossible.
Start with something simple. The next time something occurs
today where you feel any type of upset, pause and ask to see it differently.
Ask yourself what would feel more peaceful right now? It could be in traffic,
or the grocery store, talking with your partner, watching the news….as a matter
of fact watching the news will give you TONS of opportunity to practice. Notice
how you feel when you watch a story on the news that is upsetting. Ask yourself
how you can see this story differently? What can you shift within yourself to
feel peace? Perhaps you find yourself sending love to those involved in the
story? Be aware of the judgments you may have about the characters in the
story. These limit your access to love. Drop them. Notice that the circumstances
do not need to change in order for you to have a new thought, a new response. Go in the direction of peace and you will experience peace.
Remember this: Where peace dwells, fear cannot.
Love, Peace and Freedom,
