10 Ways
To Embody Peace On Earth
1. Acknowledge your
feelings about world events. It is
normal to have
strong reactions to what is happening in
our world. It is neither healthy nor
spiritual to repress/deny parts of
yourself. This is what leads to war in
the first place.
2. Once you have acknowledged your
feelings, notice where you experience
them in your body. Take some time for
yourself to relax into the feelings,
witnessing them from a space of
unconditional love. One way to know what
this feels like is to think of a young
child or an animal companion. Then
transfer your response to the emotions
you are witnessing and just be.
You may notice an immediate shift or it
may take consistent practice. The key is
to just love and observe.
3. Practice forgiveness. The acceptance
of your own feelings opens the door
to a more expansive perspective. It is
the fear based need to control that has
people wreak havoc on the planet and
each other. People are not good or bad.
We are all afraid and we all have our
own responses to the fear.
Forgiveness means clearing the way to
respond from your own power instead of
from someone else s fear.
4. Discover your own way to respond to
world events. We are all connected
and so everything that you do no matter
how seemingly insignificant or unusual
makes a difference. There are as many
ways to respond as there are people. You
may choose responses such as letter
writing or demonstrating or you may
choose to try the activities in this
article, witnessing world events with
unconditional love, etc. The format is
not as important as your intent.
5. Do not victimize yourself. It is easy
to feel powerless and to respond
from feelings of victimization, fear and
anger. This only manifests more victim
mentality. Notice without judgment all
the situations in which you feel
victimized and powerless. The activity
in #2 of this article can be used to
address this. Remember that we are all
one and as you resolve the victim
feelings you are creating space for
others to do likewise.
6. Develop an awareness of true power.
Power is a collective experience. We
are all connected and therefore our
choices impact the whole of creation.
This makes us all very powerful
co-creators! Our power is
responsibility.
Responsibility is the ability to
respond. It is not about blame.
Responsibility can be misunderstood and
used in fear as a way to stay stuck or
as a way to use our power more lovingly,
productively and with greater ease.
7. Focus on the positive. Express
gratitude for what is beautiful,
peaceful, effective, growthful, and
healing. Acknowledge people who make a
difference in the world and in your
life. There is so much to be joyful
about! Feed this! Feel it in your body.
Send it lots of love, offer it to the
connectedness so it can nurture us all.
8. Develop your innocence, openness,
sense of wonder and trust. To be
jaded, resentful and over-protective is
to restrict your life force energy
making it difficult to access the
sustenance that comes from our
connection with each other. Our power is
in our connectedness.
9. Do what you can at your own pace.
Nobody is evaluating your worth based
on how much you offer or how quickly. If
they are, it is coming from fear anyway.
Everyone is different. Take the time to
nourish and replenish.
Wearing yourself out- ignoring your
inner peace not only depletes your
resources to offer others, but since it
is self victimization it detracts from
the planetary peace you are striving to
create. Self sacrifice is victimization
of yourself and others.
10. If you find this article helpful,
pass it on to others. I believe our
shift of power from
fear-based-false-power (based on feeling
powerless) to that of true power (based
on connectedness) is the natural result
of embodying peace. Fear cannot exist in
a climate that does not recognize it.
Additionally as each of us embodies
peace this also impacts our leaders
since we are all connected. Together we
are making a difference!
Peace,
