A Peaceful Mind is Everything!

How does this quote sit with you?

"Your thoughts are the source of virtually everything in your life." Wayne Dyer.

I often speak of how we can be stuck in the cycle of constant 'doing'- it's like we can't turn off sometimes.

But, have you noticed how much your mind is turned on too?
And what is the quality of those thoughts? Are they stress thoughts or empowering thoughts?

Your mind is c o n s t a n t l y chattering away in your head?

And, it's really loud when you finally lie down in bed at night? Right?

Take a look at the photo above. I took this picture when I was on vacation on Vancouver Island, B.C. Can you see the crescent moon or the people walking further down the beach?

Really take it in.

Sitting on the beach at dusk that day was absolutely breathtaking and sooo peaceful!
I'm sure you've had similar experiences.

But let's be honest, that peace we feel in our body and mind can evaporate quickly as we leave the scene and step back into our lives. It's a bit like that feeling we sometimes have a few days after a vacation ends - you don't feel like you even went on it.

The best way that I know how to maintain inner peace, is to practise it. Practise feeling it and activating it.
As Eckhart Tolle says, "Create a background of peace".

🔥 This is important because when the headwinds or stormy weather of your life show up, it's easier to face when you have a background of inner peace.

So...
I've been working on a special practise series that helps you to consistently build that background of peace in a fun and easy way.

It all starts on June 1st.

Caregivers-How Heavy is Your Worry Load?

"If you have someone who has many things going wrong and one thing going right, beat the drum of what's going right, and let that be your point of attraction." Abraham-Hicks, San Diego, 2003

---

When I look beyond the headlines and examine humanity, at the ground level, I'm truly in awe of all the caregivers among us. For some it's a vocation or calling, while for others it's just 'what they do'. Sometimes the need is great and very demanding and other times it requires the subtle moments of a look, smile or presence. 

Even when you don't have all the answers, solutions, or next steps, you have enough energy and compassion to sit with the problem, and when you can do this without the WORRY THOUGHTS about tomorrow, you can begin to activate a very strong vibration of LOVE. When your mind (thought) activity gets calm, your heart can feed YOUR energy.

I know that you're constantly 'giving care', of one kind or another, to your family and others in your life, and while we often talk about exhaustion and OVERWHELM, and the need for self-care, part of that should include our mental experience. I know that a big part of caring is DOING but another big part is THINKING.

Who ever THOUGHT that THOUGHTS could be so exhausting? But they are, and they can keep us up at night too.

By tapping into your heart energy you can begin to find a way to FUEL UP.
How can you access this fuel?

I've been re-reading a lot of Eckhart Tolle these days and practising stepping out of my thought storms so I can WITNESS the habitual nature of OVER-THINKING. I try to gently feel the aliveness of my hands, my body, and my breath. When I do that I can momentarily escape, or rather, take a break from thought, and re-fuel.
