To live our lives peacefully is a desire born in all of us. We feel a deep inner need to experience our personal world from the calm of our own loving heart. As every day brings new challenges, the serenity we seek often seems difficult to find.

Fortunately, many of us are successful in calming our thoughts and emotions through meditation. Meditation takes many different forms. We may repeat in the manner of a mantra “I am at peace, I am at peace, I am at peace.”

Some of us may choose from the hundreds of possible affirmations which are designed to calm our soul and ground our energies.

I know of one serene soul who regularly writes to her angels as a way of accessing peace for herself and her family.

In our need to relax and recoup our vitality, some of us pray to that high energy we see as an all powerful cosmic force or to our idea of god. Every religion or spiritual group has its prescribed way of accessing the state of peace, the stillness.

WE LONG FOR THE PEACE OF THE STILLNESS THAT WE MAY CLEARLY HEAR THE VOICE OF SPIRIT. We want guidance, direction, wisdom. When our own worries are occupying every thought of ours, peace becomes just a wish or a dream. The need to step away from our own turmoil is not only necessary but from moment to moment it can become urgent.

Thinking on all of these things, I began to wonder if there might be one, just one, sure fire method of becoming peaceful at any given moment. And, yes, I do believe there is one specific, effective and easy way to bring peace to yourself now, this minute.

That method is pure and simple gratitude. It is thankfulness for everyone and everything in your life. If ever you find yourself whirling in the proverbial life stew, stop! Begin to look at every good and bad thing in your life and be grateful.

Of course it is obvious that you appreciate the “good” for the pleasure it brings, but know also that your experience of the “bad” is offering you a wonderfully powerful way to learn and to grow. EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE IS THERE TO TEACH AND INSPIRE YOU!

Be assured that you cannot experience stress, worry and fear at the same time that you are mentally and emotionally entertaining a state of pure gratitude. Decide today to make thankfulness a daily part of your spiritual practice. GRATITUDE IS LOVE EXPRESSED.

Express your gratitude and thankfulness often. Express that emotion to your spirit and soul. Express it to yourself, to your loved ones, to your friends as well as to your difficult acquaintances! Speak the words and write notes of thankfulness. Gratitude is a dynamic powerful tool that always brings peace and joy to your life.

Peace! The word has been my focus for many days now. The word seems to be engraved on my mind and heart.

My tendency to yearn for a return to peace does not seem to be because of the unrest and combative attitude of the world’s countries at large. It seems that I am more concerned with the number of clients I see daily who are worried about the unsettled quality of their personal lives.

I counsel with one person after another who expresses concern over relationships that seem to be increasingly combative. They tell me that arguments appear to be more frequent. It troubles many clients that these disagreements are arising from the shallowest differences of opinion and escalating to unbelievable heights!

It is obvious that if you or I cannot access our own calm, peaceful center, we cannot be at peace with ourselves. When we are not centered, when we are not grounded, it is most assuredly impossible to improve our relationships.

Furthermore when we are not centered and at peace with ourselves and our lives, it becomes increasingly difficult to hear the direction of Spirit. No matter how earnestly our guides and teachers would desire to help us, the din of our own confusion and unrest drown their gentle voices.

I stated earlier that my need to see more peace did not seem to come directly from the current world difficulties. However, I believe that the unrest I have seen in my clients is being stirred by the energies that are circling our globe.

While all of us, including myself, yearn for peace in our world, the creation of peace must start with each of us individually. It must begin with allowing our uniqueness to simply “be” without insisting that our friends and neighbors be our clones.

As long as our disagreements are simply verbal and of no physical hurtfulness, let us decide to have our differences of opinions without fear or without retaliating.

As I use my psychic skills to read for people, it is obvious that each of us operate our lives from the very best that we know. It becomes clear, regardless of the nature and quality of our actions, that we are each endowed with the Creator’s spirit and energy, a truly beautiful spark of life and individuality.

As we begin to honor the divine spark of life in each other every day and in every situation, we will all find the Peace that passes understanding.

It is my joy to help you with your life path and relationships. Call me with any of your personal challenges. Each appointment is kept in strictest confidence. Your channeled reading is recorded for you to review in the privacy of your home.
