Choosing Peace
We can choose peace.
We can choose to feel peace within us.
And as we do,
we automatically radiate peace
all around us.
Take a deep breath
and feel your body.
Make yourself comfortable.
Tell yourself: I want to feel peace.
I choose to feel peace.
Breathe in slowly and deeply,
pausing at the end of the inhalation,
and then mentally say, “Relax,” to yourself
as you slowly release the breath.
Make sure your breathing is comfortable for you.
Be gentle with yourself
and curious about your experience.
Take three more full breaths.
Breathe in slowly, pause,
and stay relaxed as you exhale.
As you take a few more breaths,
feel your whole body breathing,
as if you are breathing in through all your skin.
And then as you start to exhale,
press the breath into and through your body.
Notice how this feels.
Say the word peace to yourself
as you breathe in,
and say peace to yourself
as you slowly exhale into your whole body.
Let the word peace drop into your field of being.
As you keep breathing, feel for the frequency
and vibration of peace in your body.
Scan your body from your head to your toes,
and from your toes to your head.
Up and down.
Down and up.
Feeling for peace.
What does peace feel like to you?
Allow your mind to rest in peace.
What words come up for you
to describe these feelings of peace?
Feel the space, and the vast field,
of your limitless awareness.
Notice how your breathing interacts
with the vibrations of peace in your body,
and gently strengthen the vibrations.
With every breath you are filling with more peace,
consciously activating the frequencies and vibrations
of peace already within you.
You are brightening your light.
And you are infusing yourself
and the collective field.
You are choosing peace.
Keep feeling your body.
Ground yourself in your body
and your connection to Mother Earth.
Let each breath be an opportunity
to feel and activate more peace
within you and for you.
This automatically benefits all beings.
You are a being
of infinite love and light, radiating peace.
Can you feel that now?
By doing this practice of feeling peace,
you are a living example of what’s possible
for all of us.
Imagine a world where everyone was choosing
to feel and activate peace within them.
How does this feel?
Take a few minutes to ground yourself
and prepare to meet the outward-facing world
at the end of this recording.
And no matter what else is going on,
within you or around you,
you will automatically radiate your beautiful light
of peace just by being you.
Peace Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved, as to love.
Francis of Assisi
Peace With Yourself
Peace with yourself.
How we long to feel more peace,
within ourselves.
Take a few deep breaths.
Feel your body.
Notice with curiosity whatever is going on
within you in this moment.
As you keep noticing the rhythm of your breathing,
allow your body to relax a little more.
Lengthen each breath and feel
yourself slow down.
And as you exhale, let go
of all that you’ve been carrying.
As you keep consciously breathing and feeling your body,
ask yourself, “How could I be more gentle with myself?
How could I be more at peace with myself?”
You already have so many tools within you
to feel more peace with yourself.
You can choose gratitude and focus
on three things you are very grateful for,
right now, in this moment.
Use your breathing to deepen
your experience of the feelings and vibrations
of gratitude in your body.
You can choose trust.
You can trust that you are okay,
just as you are.
Notice whatever you are feeling, right now,
with curiosity and compassion for your self.
As you shift into being curious,
you automatically shift into a higher perspective.
As you bring kindness and compassion
to your current experience,
you shift into a higher consciousness reality.
And you can choose to be more at peace
with yourself.
Breathe into this present moment
with a little more compassion for yourself.
And as you choose to trust
this present moment,
you automatically shift into the field
of unconditional peace that is always
within you, that is you.
Your eternal being.
Your non-physical form.
The truth that you discover
as you move more deeply into the portal
of infinite love in your own heart.
And feel that longed-for peace
within you.
And be at peace with yourself.
