Transformation begins Inside Out. And when it does, it expands like the ripples on water For me transformation began the moment I found inner peace, and once I did, the ripples expanded and washed through my relationships and everything I did, enhancing my life in a way I never expected. Everything changed the moment I changed, and the effect continues to generate change to this day. Sometimes the change is subtle and other times not. The first time I was still and connected with all 'parts' of me, I asked them, "If I could have any number of things, what would be more important than that which I desire?" Whenever I received their answer such as 'freedom' or 'protection', I'd step fully and completely into the very experience I wanted. Of course there were times when I'd want many other things for me. As always, I'd step fully into and experience these states. During each 'inner peace session' I always wound up in the centre of my universe where there would be and always is, profound inner peace. I'd breathe in my experiences until I felt and knew every part of my soul was totally immersed in that experience. Free-falling without fear, and attachment, there was only warmth, softness, silence and me. That continues to be how it is for me whenever I go there. The inner peace I speak of is located within the heart centre. Here there is serenity, tranquillity. Couple this with stillness and you have peace, and when there is peace there is a radiance that shines through and permeates all parts of the self and beyond. It's a place where there is acceptance of self and others, unconditional love and a myriad of other emotions. As a matter of fact when inner peace is stepped into there isn't much else to report other than a sense of deep contentment, freedom of all attachment and the warmth of love and support. Whenever I step into my inner sanctum there is no issue that agitates me, I find no attachment to anything; I just am. Quite simply, it is peaceful, serene. It sounds clichéd I know, but that's precisely how it is for me. It's a place I love visiting to rebalance, regenerate, and centre myself. When I return and again become aware of my physical environment, the clarity to see how things really are is almost blinding. Clarity is when there is total clearness about everything and anything. It's when actions are totally understood as well as the consequences of those actions. When I'm there, accessing peace in my universe, I can see myself in the big picture and beyond. I see how I relate to others and they to me, I see me interacting with others in my social life, work life, spiritual, and family life. I can also see the never ending possibilities of what life has to offer to anyone and everyone. Experiencing this state of mind is open to anyone whenever they choose to take some time out. All it requires of you is to have an open mind, a firm commitment to learn how to access your own peace state, and practise - often. When you experience inner peace on a regular basis your mind remembers it thereby making it easier for you to experience this state. So next time you're stressed, agitated, anxious, or stuck, access inner peace by taking some time out to still your mind. Try meditating first, it's a great way to start!
