Where does your peace come from? We may all have different answers to this question. Some may say that it comes from financial stability, from accomplishing goals, or from achieving a certain level of physical or emotional standard that we set for ourselves.
As we get older we realize that there are definitely many financial, material, and physical things that bring *COMFORT* into our lives. These things don’t actually bring peace, even though we tend to think that they do.
True internal peace can only come from how we feel within ourselves. It is not defined by our accomplishments or anything physical, material or financial. It’s deeper than that. It has to do with our soul. With how honest we are with ourselves and others and with the type of relationship that we have with God. It allows us to feel more at peace for that moment when we’re called to meet Him. 🤍
In class we often do a meditation to help us disconnect from all material and physical things, to just connect to God. It is in those moments when we can see that internal peace come through. That knowledge of knowing that if we we’re striped of everything, we could still hold on to God, to His love, and to trusting in the plan that He has for each and every one of us. 💛
Gratitude is one of the ways we can connect to internal peace. When we’re grateful, we can easily acknowledge the hand of God in all things. We become even more humble, teachable, patient and loving with ourselves and others. The more that we’re grateful for all that we have and are, the more we’re able to feel peace in knowing that God will continue to provide and take care of us. Having a grateful heart only allows for more blessings to come upon us.
Our goal is to invite internal peace to allow it to be more present with us daily. Remember that peace is already within us and it’s part of who we are as children of God. It just requires us to focus on it a little more. To live in gratitude daily and to feel connected to the the love of God and of ourselves one day at a time. 💗
That way, when things change in our lives and difficulties come, we won’t allow fear or other things to disrupt our internal peace. But instead allow peace to be our anchor to God and to His divine light, love, power and peace for our lives. This will allow us to remain stable and confident in ourselves and in God daily. 💛
Here’s a little meditation to help you today. 💖
As you read, sit comfortably and extend upwards from your seat, lengthen and strengthen your spine, setting your shoulder slightly back to open the heart. Inhale deeply through your nose and take a long exhale. Once again inhale deeply and take a long exhale.
Now imagine your heart glowing with radiant light and allow yourself to feel connected to an unending stream of grace that pours through the top of your head.
*Inhale love and see it filling your heart.
*Exhale love and see it flowing around your loved ones and even out to the entire earth.
*Inhale joy and smile as it enters your heart.
* Exhale joy and watch it envelop your loved ones and all beings.
* Inhale peace and allow it to fill your heart to overflowing, even to the point where you feel it all over your entire soul and body. Allow yourself to flow in peace for a moment.
*Exhale peace and see it wrapped around yourself, your loved ones, all living things and even out to the entire planet.
Back to the first step, and repeat with dedicated, blissful focus.
Isn’t it amazing that something as simple as a breath can make big changes in our mind, body and soul? Using the power of visualization, breathing and praying can allow us to connect to peace. Allow yourself to feel that peace more often and to use that energy to spread love, joy and peace to all beings. 💛
Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 6:30 pm. To give yourself the gift of releasing stress and instead allow yourself to strengthen your Body, Mind and Spirit. 💖🥰🧘🏻♀️🌅

Dear Lili
I must confess that I bring in my problems by worrying and cannot do anything about it. I try but I know I can’t resolve issues in my life as well as others because it’s not up to me but God. I know that yet I bring this unrest upon myself feeling I can make a difference, eggnog in reality it’s only God who makes all the difference. Finding that peace within me is hard sometimes cause I forget to give it up to God and think I can do something about it. I do sometimes find that peace when my circle hasn’t been disturbed or I allow it. I must work in in maintaining the peace within in with God’s help and love. I know I can accomplish this when I put my hands onto God’s hands and let him take care of it, and then I will find and maintain that peace.
God bless
