With everything going on in our world, and the different challenges that we all face, It’s easy to allow the chaos of it all to increase and cause greater emotional stress, fear and anxiety.
We see that not only is our peace constantly being attacked, but we’re becoming more addicted to distraction, devices, comparison, food etc. It seems like we’re all looking for ways to “numb”our emotions. We seem more disconnected and more attached to what’s going on around us and outside of ourselves than knowing what’s going on within us.
Have you noticed that the world as a whole is having a harder time controlling their feelings, thoughts and emotions? People seem to be more explosive, less patient and unable to control themselves. Sadly, we’re becoming a society that’s more disconnected, divided and addicted. Numbing our emotional stress with outside sources and completely forgetting how to stop, breathe and silence our minds and hearts.
It’s during times like these that we need to reach inward a little more. We need to practice checking in with our internal self a little more often. Allowing ourselves to take a moment to breathe, calm our mind and heart and check in with kindness and love about how we’re feeling and doing. The practice of checking in on ourselves will allow us to see where we’re experiencing pain and disappointment. So that we may “process” that pain the best way we can without having to reach for our typical “numbing” actions. Can you imagine how amazing it would feel to practice and learn how to regulate our own internal feelings, thoughts and emotions? To have a place of peace where we can compassionately deal with the situations and invite God to help us keep our strengthen and our inner peace centered and focused for whatever we may have to experience.
Remember that the enemy of our souls will always push for us to become dependent on outside sources. So that we may become a “slave” to those things. The enemy will even lie to each one of us and tell us that it’s too uncomfortable to sit with our feelings. That we can’t look within ourselves etc…But that’s exactly how he ties us to more addictions and material things that keep us away from God. The enemy knows that if he can keep us distracted, unable to process our feelings and especially keeping us from speaking or communicating with God. Then, that’s exactly how he wins. By attaching us to worldly desires and making us miserable like himself.
God, our Father in Heaven, on the other hand, wants us to be able to RISE ABOVE that. He wants us to LEARN HOW TO TAKE CARE OF PROTECTING OUR INNER PEACE. He wants us to CHOOSE FOR OURSELVES to turn to our creator for the help that we need.
So, we can choose to create within ourselves that strong determination to remind ourselves constantly that WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD. & as such, WE HAVE ACCESS TO DIVINE POWER, LIGHT AND GREATER PEACE. He wants us to know that we don’t need to depend on anything material or of this world to bring us the peace that we seek. But to know instead, that God is the giver of our peace. He can provide that peace way more abundantly, even amidst the storms of life. So that when the difficulties come, we may know in whom we trust and remain peaceful and faithful.
This week I want to motivate you and encourage you to push past the discomfort & take a deeper look within yourself. Remember that this will most likely not feel very comfortable at first, and you may be tempted to grab your phone or turn on the TV, or call a friend or whatever else you try to do to get out of fully sitting for a moment and just feeling your feelings and emotions.
The goal is to practice when you’re triggered by something. Just take a moment to close your eyes, cover your ears, breathe and feel within yourself what’s going on. Take a moment to see your feelings and thoughts clearly. If it’s possible, see them from a distance…so that they’re not fully “attached to you.” Take a moment to recognize that you are not your thoughts, and that you get to choose how to reach to every situation.
Allow your in this moment to invite divine light into your heart and soul. Ask God to be with you. To give you His LOVE, His STRENGTH, and His PEACE. Ask Him to remove those feelings. Then allow yourself to feel that amazing power flowing from God INTO YOUR HEART, MIND AND SOUL. His healing light will be with you as you allow yourself to be open to receiving from Him. There’s nothing in the world that can compare to that feeling of knowing that something comes directly from God to you!!! ❤️ So, JUST LISTEN FOR WHAT GOD WILL SPEAK TO YOUR HEART AND MIND. If you’d like to record your feelings or write down any wisdom that God places in your heart, that will be an amazing blessing to you to be able to recognize, record and act on what God speaks directly to YOU. 🫶🏼
This is how your inner peace won’t be attached to material or worldly things. But instead it will be attached to God. So that when you leave this earth you will experience that same peace of knowing that God knows you and that YOU KNOW HIM, LOVE HIM AND TRUST HIM. ❤️ God loves to speak to you!!! He wants a relationship with you, but you have to be willing to be silent, to not be distracted but to listen with a humble heart and be willing to do what feels right, good, loving and peaceful to your heart, mind and soul. God speaks. We just have to listen and allow His light to fill our minds and hearts and keep us anchored on trusting in God and not the world around us.
We can become our own best cheerleader! Our own best friend, our own protector of our peace in this life. We can gain greater strength to reject all that is bad or damaging for our minds, hearts and souls. We can fight against evil and focus instead on inviting all that is good, all that invites compassion, love and peace to reside within us. As we strengthen ourselves internally we will be able to respond better and in a wider and higher way to all the different difficulties that we may have in this life. Our inner peace and strength need to become one of our highest priorities. 💪🏼🥰
So, let’s take a moment to practice breathing. Check on your emotions and change them for the better. Take a moment to just sit in silence. Close your eyes and breathe. Whatever is troubling you today, whatever is bringing you fear or frustration….Take a moment to sit with those feelings. Recognize each emotion and how it presents in your body. For example; “This is anger or frustration, I feel tightness in my chest or I feel it in my throat..etc” “I want to release this emotion and allow myself to come to peace & calm” you can say to yourself “I invite the peace of God to come and be with me. To heal me and to strengthen me and remind me of my inner and divine light. “ I choose this hour to keep my peace centered on a God who sees me, who hears me, who loves me and who wants to help me. “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and with His help I protect my inner peace and I choose light, love and peace to be with and to surround me on this day.” ❤️ As a child of God, I am love, I am peace, I am complete, whole and protected.” Whatever comes to your heart that inspires love, and light comes from God. Keep Breathing and feel that peace calmness covering you completely. 💛
After you do this for yourself, be proud of your ability to look inward and to allow yourself to check on how you’re doing internally in your mind, heart and soul. Be thankful for the opportunity to feel these emotions, and to be able to reach up to God who is the true giver of lasting peace. Recognize how He’s able to be with you in this very moment, to help you clear the internal chaos & to RETURN you to calm, joy and peace. 💛
Our goal for this week is that we may be the best inner peace keeper that we can be for ourselves. To allow for quiet moments to be with us so that we may connect to that higher source of peace and love which comes from God. We can ask God to help us focus on our internal light and peace instead of what the world wants us to focus on. We can ask Him to give us the strength to change the way we view ourselves or others and to strengthen our ability to protect our inner peace. I know that as we practice this skill, it will increase your inner power day by day and we will experience true Joy and true peace regardless of the other attachments that this world tries to place on us. We’ve got this! God wants us to feel His peace and He will help us to do so.
John 14:27 Says: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”❤️
There’s nothing greater on this earth than being able to experience the peace that can only come from a loving God. He will strengthen you, help you and lift you, take away your fears and fill your life with peace one hour at a time. ❤️ I pray that you’ll be able to feel His peace and allow yourself to be the KEEPER AND THE PROTECTOR OF YOUR LIGHT AND INNER PEACE.
This is our Spiritual goal this week is: To be the protector of or our inner peace, and that we won’t depend on material things to help us feel better. But instead that we may have the wisdom to know where true peace comes from. To learn about our divine ability to seek a better relationship within ourselves and with our creator so that we may be comfortable in our bodies and able to deal with our emotions in a healthier way allowing God’s peace to recharge us and be with us more fully. 🫶🏼
Our Physical goals is to exercise at least 2-3 times this week and to give our body more water and healthy nutrient rich foods that we need. ❤️
Hope To see you in class tonight at 7pm. Make this promise to yourself to do this for your Body, Mind and Spirit. This will allow you to release stress, strengthen yourself Physically, emotionally and spiritually. We will have an amazing opportunity to practice being the keeper of our inner peace during a wonderful meditation. Hope that you can make it and feel the difference.
Love,
Lili 🌸
