Are you afraid of inner peace? This is not a strange question.
Do you want it but fear it might change your life in a way you don’t want?
Do you feel that if you attain inner peace, your life will become boring, especially if you love thrill and action?
Rest assured that your life won’t become boring.
Inner peace is not a passive condition and does not require non-action and no activity.
You can live a life full of activity, interact with people, have fun, travel, work, and do things while at the same time experiencing inner peace and calmness.
True inner peace is not dependent on external conditions or situations. When you get it, you can experience it wherever you are. It will fill your life with inner joy and happiness.
What Is Inner Peace?
Let’s define this term. Inner peace is a state of mental and emotional calmness and tranquility, in which the constant chatter of the mind stops or almost stops.
In this state, the mind gets quiet, and a sense of happiness arises, independent of external conditions.
You experience inner peace not only while meditating in a quiet place but also while you are fully awake and active. Actually, your five senses and mind become even sharper.
Experiencing Inner Peace
Most people probably do not believe that this state can be attained. With proper training, it can be attained.
To experience inner peace, you do not have to live in an ashram or a cave. Also, you do not need to be rich or wait until you have no problems or obstacles in your life.
You can continue living your day-to-day life but with a new and different inner condition and attitude.
You can learn to live within inner peace here and now, even if there is much noise and activity in your life. Are you willing to make the necessary effort?
Most people experience stress, anxiety, worries, and a state of non-stop thinking that sometimes is wearisome, but how many do anything to alleviate this situation?
Many are obsessed with what others think or say about them. They allow other people’s words, thoughts, and external conditions to affect their mood and state of mind.
However, when you truly seek inner peace, some time on the path, you stop minding what people think and say about you.
A simple and easy first step toward inner peace is finding a way that relaxes you. This could be listening to music, watching a movie, walking, sleeping, or working out. However, these methods bring only temporary peace.
There are other methods that can bring a greater degree of inner peace, which, in time, becomes even deeper and can be experienced more often in one’s daily life.
Inner peace can become a habit. That does not require any effort.
Gaining Inner Peace Is a Gradual Process
At first, you experience inner peace for just a few seconds, but gradually, the time gets longer, and the experience gets deeper. It is a great feeling of peace, without or almost without thoughts, and with full awareness and consciousness.
These moments might appear anytime while you are working, reading, eating, or walking without disturbing what you are doing. Actually, you can continue doing what you are doing while at the same time experiencing a different, greater consciousness.
- Even a small degree of inner peace is worthwhile and can improve your life!
- Inner peace will bring inner joy into your life.
- Inner peace is like a delicious candy that you can enjoy in bad times and in good times, in difficult times, and in problem-free times.
Gaining inner peace is a simple process. However, it involves some inner work. You need to put some effort to gain this state of mind.
To make this road simple, I have written a book outlining the process. It includes advice, instructions, and meditations to make mental calmness a reality in your life. It’s a practical guide that you will find most useful. The title of the book is Calm Down the Nonstop Chatter of Your Mind.
