Become Peace Everyday
We are living in a world where fear and anger predominates,
motivates and controls most everyone’s thoughts, behaviors, and
choices. As this continues, the build up of negativity and violence
will become acute. Why? Because over time our fear and anger
response becomes more and more automatic (versus conscious). This
collective energy has the potential to dominate the planet.
My friends, it is incredibly important for each of us to muster up
the courage to be different, to hold a different emotion within us.
This action is what will make the difference to the health and well
being of our planet, and the people who live here.
“Becoming”
is talked about in many ancient texts and traditions, which is best
summarized as, “What you want most in your life, you must first
become it as your life.” Don’t you love how simple it is!
The energy
we hold within ourselves is what we receive within the experience of
our life. Since each of us is connected to all that is, when we
hold the energy of compassion, peace, and love, we bring those
things to ourselves, but also to the world!
I want to make
sure I really explain this concept. We can 'do' all day long… Acts
of charity, giving money to good causes, etc. However, the thing
that has the biggest energetic impact to our planet’s health and
well being is for each of us to hold the energy of peace within
ourselves – becoming peace in our life – day after day after day.
The real power comes, when MANY of us become peace.
However, holding the energy of peace daily has to start somewhere,
with someone, so let’s focus first within ourselves. When you
choose to become peace, you become a leader and an example to those
around you.
Before you take that important step, I want to
share some tips.
First, take the time to heal any trauma
that you may be holding on to, whether related to witnessing
violence via the television, the newspaper or in person. If we are
holding buried emotions of disbelief, pain, anger, or horror, it is
difficult to pray, intend and be peace for the world.
You
heal the trauma by centering yourself with your breath and then: 1.)
Blessing the person(s) who have been harmed. 2.) Blessing (not
accepting, but acknowledging with a blessing) the person(s) who have
inflicted suffering. 3.) Blessing the person(s) who have witnessed
it – and this includes you. 4.) Bless yourself.
Gregg Bradden
in the ‘Gift of the Blessing,” proposes that you repeat the process
over and over until the warm pain in your gut rises upward and out.
You may encounter a great sadness or other strong emotion during
this process. Take a few moments to honor those feelings. Then, ask
for those emotions to be released and replaced with love, joy, and
peace.
Once done you are ready to hold the energy of peace
for our world.
Remember, it doesn’t stop there! The power is
in the becoming. Become peace everyday and your impact will be
global in scope!
