I gotta find peace of mind – Lauryn Hill (9:20)

P.M. Nehru proclaims India’s Freedom from British rule (1:06)
Ultra Deep Guided Meditation for Peace (10:00)

Analysis: Cultivating Lasting Serenity

True peace begins inside human hearts. It Works, How & Why explains this internal transformation. A sincere desire for spiritual growth invites quiet strength. Surrender replaces constant struggle. Positive attitudes gradually reshape our daily perspective.

Spirituality requires no perfection. The Big Book captures this sudden release from turmoil. Deep serenity washes away old fears like a mountain breeze. Jawaharlal Nehru emphasized that peace represents an inner condition of mind. Peaceful people create lasting harmony around themselves. Wellbriety teachings reaffirm this sacred truth. “We humbly ask a Higher Power to help us change” (White Bison, 2002, p. 54). Inner harmony transforms every relationship. Tranquility becomes our steady path.

NUESTRA SERENIDAD NO TIENE POR QUÉ SER TAN EFÍMERA COMO LOS DIENTES DE LEÓN EN UNA BRISA DE PRIMAVERA – PASO 7

IGNORA LA NEGATIVIDAD –

“Cuando somos sinceros en nuestro deseo de permitir que nuestro Poder Superior nos cuide, empezamos a ganar un sentido de serenidad. Notamos un cambio gradual en nuestro pensamiento. Nuestras actitudes e ideas se vuelven más positivas.”

“Aprendemos que no tenemos que ser perfectos para vivir una vida espiritual.” (Funciona: cómo y por qué, p. 24)

Y DESPEJA EL CAMINO PARA LA PAZ –

“Hubo una sensación de victoria, seguida de una paz y serenidad como nunca antes había conocido. Había una confianza absoluta. Me sentí elevado, como si el gran viento limpio de la cumbre de una montaña soplara de lado a lado.” (El Libro Grande, p. 14)

JAWAHARLAL NEHRU –

“La paz no es una relación entre naciones. Es una condición de la mente producida por la serenidad del alma. La paz no es simplemente la ausencia de guerra. Es también un estado mental. La paz duradera solo puede llegar a las personas pacíficas.”

— Jawaharlal Nehru (1889 – 1964), primer ministro de la India

Análisis

La verdadera paz comienza dentro de los corazones humanos. Funciona: cómo y por qué explica esta transformación interna. Un deseo sincero de crecimiento espiritual invita a la fuerza silenciosa. La rendición reemplaza la lucha constante. Las actitudes positivas remodelan gradualmente nuestra perspectiva diaria.

La espiritualidad no requiere perfección. El Libro Grande captura esta repentina liberación de la agitación. La serenidad profunda arrastra los viejos miedos como una brisa de montaña. Jawaharlal Nehru enfatizó que la paz representa una condición interna de la mente. Las personas pacíficas crean una armonía duradera a su alrededor. Las enseñanzas de Wellbriety reafirman esta verdad sagrada. “Pedimos humildemente a un Poder Superior que nos ayude a cambiar” (White Bison, 2002, p. 54). La armonía interior transforma cada relación. La tranquilidad se convierte en nuestro camino constante.

    In order to have serenity and peace for myself, I’ve learned to speak up when I feel that I’m being asked to do something that does not serve me, something that would only cause me turmoil, especially if the task does not serve the entity as well.

    There is serenity in silence. I’m appreciating how quiet and stillness allow me special access to the Divine as I know it. That is what guides me and gives my life meaning.

    The serenity prayer is the foundation of my peace. Letting go of that which isn’t mine, taking action on what it and being able to tell the difference.

    I like to play the game stardew valley. It takes me out of chaos and puts me into a calm place. The music is very pretty, and it has gameplay that’s very relaxing.

    When I actively seek peace of mind, I find it by giving all control to God….
    He gives me,”The peace of mind,” which surpasses all understanding, guarding your hearts and Minds in Christ Jesus.. Philippians 4:7

    I have built peaceful spaces around myself, physically and mentally. My friends, my head, my commute, my literal room. I take solace in these times and spaces to relax and focus on what I deeply care about.

    I am learning to release judgement and reaction. I do not need to be in judgement or be reactionary to the words and behaviors of others. Letting those emotions go is a moment by moment opportunity to free myself from the need to carry concern on the actions of others. I am not responsible to change others behaviors. Rather I choose to change my own behavior and let my behaviors be reflective of the world around me that I wish to see.

    Thank you for sharing recovery with me. Grateful.

    Great readings this morning. The sincere desire, the sense of victory followed by peace and serenity as I have never known. These are the kind of readings that inspire me to stay sober one more day. Because being sober isn’t enough. I want to learn how to live free of all the alcoholic baggage that tries to attach itself to me. I am actively involved in Alcoholics Anonymous and and having a relationship with Jesus brings me to that wonderful place of peace and serenity…

    It’s hard due to people tellin’ me racist things, and not acceptin’ my mixtures. I get how some people say sometimes the things people put in their bodies, especially bad chemicals, and narcotics could forever have a bad effect on someone for the rest of their lives. While I do agree with repentance (changin’ somethin’ that’s not beneficial to life). Sometimes I wonder if someone does somethin’ bad against someone will they do it again. For my betterment I have to do what will make me content, and at peace in it all. No one will understand me(moi) better than me.

    I’ve sat with my emotions and thoughts, examining them as clouds in the sky. No matter how upsetting, painful or disquieting they may be; they are simply thoughts. Thoughts are not a part of my soul or being, they are a product of my mind, not the fiber of my mind. I do not judge these thoughts, they do not stay with me forever, they drift (even if it is slowly) across the field of my mind, leaving me with a clear blue sky which is the essence of my mind.

    I am more keenly aware than ever when my serenity is disturbed and I allow fear to take over. Key for me is to identify that I am in fear and attempt to adjust accordingly.

    HATRED
    RAGE
    ANGER
    FEAR
    PAIN
    LOVE

    This is how I deconstruct my own internal pain. That hatred and rage are feelings from long ago when I felt my survival was at stake. In these states, I am not here in the present. Under all my anger is fear that I must identify if I am to tell what I need. These are all predicated in pain that is as old and fundamental as I am. But the basis for everything I want, need, am, is my basic need to love and be loved.
