How to Find Peace of Mind in a Crazy World

                                                                                         

Have you noticed that life appears to be speeding up? We are trying to "fit" so many things into our schedule, trying to keep up, stay on top, working harder and harder to get ahead. The whole world is stressing out. The recession is creating a fear of survival; a "lack" consciousness is begetting more lack and, then, if we watch the television, listen to the news on the radio, or read the paper, our minds are filled with even more dismal information. There is a vortex of negative energy that we feed, collectively, and unconsciously, that perpetuates this cycle and keeps us from being at peace and being happy.

This chaotic energy is endemic in our world culture now, and we are all feeling its affects. As the energy keeps spinning faster and faster, like a hurricane, we can easily get caught up in it with all its negativity and that's why so many people don't feel at peace. We have gotten caught up in the negative energy vortex, and the mind just goes on and on as if we had no control of our lives. We allow our minds to run out of control. The good news is there is a time tested proven solution to this mass chaos: unplug from it.

By first realizing that you have a choice what state of mind to be in, no matter what is happening in your life, then you begin to shift your energy. By stepping back from the energy vortex and "disengaging" it, you stop feeding it. There is a thought momentum that will pull you back in again if you go unconscious and you likely will (you'll be tested). You then just need to remember to step back again and watch your mind as if you were watching a show...which you are. Our habit is to get sucked in, again and again, and that just reinforces and perpetuates these cycles causing the chaos. At some point, you need to decide you are stepping out of it and reconnect with that place of peace that is innate to your being. This is where meditation comes in.

Most of the time when I mention something like this, people's kneejerk reaction is either "I can't meditate, my mind is too active" or "I don't have time to meditate." If your mind thinks this way it is only indicating that you have lost control of your life and well being. It's making the conscious choice to disengage from that very thinking that opens you up to new possibilities. We see this every day. We work with thousands of people who start with this "too busy" or "can't" attitude, and then watch them shift, almost overnight, into states happiness and peace. You only need to be shown how, it's learned. When you shift your state of consciousness, by intending to, your life also shifts. Not only will you find increasing joy and peace from life, but you will receive the inner guidance to fulfill your life purpose and create greater prosperity too. I guarantee it. The choice is up to you. What are you choosing?
