How to achieve peace through a personal retreat!
Most of the time we look outside of ourselves at the world full of chaos and we feel compelled to transform that situation so that we can have inner peace. We often become very disappointed because our attempts to change the outside world only bring us frustration and more friction inside of ourselves.
Finding peace within our self starts inside our own heart and inside our mind. It is not an outer journey. When we truly look inside ourselves to find peace this is how we bring peace to the world. Imagine if everyone was doing their inner work and shifting them selves to become more calm and peaceful. If we are full of anxiety and friction our outside world will show up as a mirror.
So the first step to creating the world that we want outside of us is to go inside and do our work. People who create peace internally are not really different from us, they have the same ego mind talking to them, the only difference is they’re not listening or acting out of those thoughts. We’ll have the choice to buy into that chatter of old beliefs or recognize that the chatter is not true and move through life being who we truly are.
This is what meditation teaches us, to just recognize our thoughts and bring it back to the present moment. Our chatter, old believes keep us from being in this present moment. So when we recognize the chatter instead of going deeper into the story line we can wake up and recognize that this is just chatter and to bring ourselves back to the present moment.
Being in the story of the old beliefs keeps our vibration lower, when we start to recognize how buying into the untrue story line hold us hostage, we are better able to let go of it.
