Allowing space for Peace.

This morning I'm writing about space, something that is defined in a relative way, what is too much space for some is not enough for others... today I'm going to introduce a practice of adding "space" into your thoughts and by doing so allowing peace into your life.

It's simple, yet it takes focus, so many of us lack focus, we're constantly on the treadmill running here and there and DOING all the time, even in our sleep! First we must practice being present and focusing. This takes a certain amount of slowing down that many aren't willing to allow... try this.

When you wake up in the morning, before you even stand up start by watching what you're thinking, don't get involved in your thought process, just observe.

After only a few minutes you'll see how busy you already are and you haven't even gotten out of bed yet! Take a moment to clear your thoughts by breathing and being with just this moment in time. Allow space to come between your thoughts... invite peace into that space. This is a simple practice that you can do all day long, anywhere you are... any time you begin to feel overwhelmed or stressed out. Breath, allow space to come between your thoughts, invite peace into that space.

On the subject of kindness... I began to practice with more focus on kindness a few weeks ago. I have noticed many randon acts of kindness, the latest was an elderly woman dropped her glasses in the road as she exited a grocery store, this was during the busy part of the day right around 4:30pm. A man in a big white pick up was driving along and stopped to pick up her glasses (how did he even see them?), he got out of his truck and made sure she got the glasses back before pulling off...no one beeped their horn at him, even though he stopped traffic! That small act of kindness created huge waves of NICE in the parking lot.

It is where we place our FOCUS that causes our reality to shift for good or bad... sometimes we get stuck in re-telling the BAD NEWS of the day instead of FOCUSing on the GOOD NEWS. I have witnessed that people find me to be a person who, even when faced with bad luck, can somehow come through it better off, it's because I don't focus on awful circumstances, I know they will pass - sure I have the same things happening to me that everyone else has, I'm human afterall... but by not re-telling the BAD NEWS over and over I'm allowing space for peace, I'm letting those bad moments go and I'm not stuck in a loop of disapointment! I'm moving with the flow of the moments, some are good and some aren't, I choose to focus on the good ones and wow, more good ones keep on coming! Try this...it works.

First thing is to practice focusing and learning to allow space and peace into our thought patterns.

Best to you, in Peace ~ Beth ^ TOP
