Being at Peace

Being at Peace by Anthony Strano When we can access our eternal reservoir of peace and cultivate it through regular meditation exercise we create inner strength. Such strength is permanent,personal and facilitates respectful interactions. Inner strength gives support and guidance to the self when external situations can be very paralysing and negative. Such peace creates the stability to face adverse situations constructively. Inner peace creates the clarity to make appropriate decisions, uncluttered by stresses and worries. In Raja Yoga meditation the thought "Om Shanti' anchors this experience of serenity in our being. At peace with the self I can be at peace with the world, in whatever interaction I find myself. To cultivate this inner position of true strength requires consistent exercise of going within. Going within and then coming out renewed and capable to deal with situations and relationships. Being in harmony with one's self, that is, touching base a number of times during the day creates the emotional health to cope, create and change.
