Finding Inner Peace


What I’ve come to know through the years of suffering from anxiety and worry is that I would rather have peace than be right…There is magic to be experienced when we let go of the struggle to be right and perfect. Can you remember the last time you felt inner peace? Who is bringing you into their struggle? What guilt are you carrying?....For years I longed to feel at peace with myself and my surroundings, throughout my adult life I seemed to have moved far away from the peace that I was seeking and into the depth of anxiety, with constant worry over money security and stress, with my inner and outer critics playing havoc with my mind. I was riddled with guilt and didn’t want the responsibility that I had accumulated in my job as well as to the need to live up to expectations of friends and family. I longed for freedom and escape and to start all over again…Feeling such disharmony lead me to take time out and to nourish from the inside I took up dancing, singing and Art and started to listen to my body, I found people whom were also on the same journey and found support in therapy and in just being and accepting where I was right now. Most importantly I paid attention to how I talked to myself   I let go of the nagging critical voice. I have learned over the years ways to get back to that feeling of inner peace and well-being and these are a few that I practice daily…

·         Let go of the guilt you are not responsible for everything
·         You are beautiful worthy and perfect.
·         Be grateful for what you have in this moment, we all have more than we think we have
·         Remove yourself from critical and judgmental people
·         Be very kind and nurturing to yourself spend time with people that lift your spirits
Do something creative….Mandalas are an expression of peace, harmony and wholeness and have been used as a  connection to our communities and to nature; the circle itself is a powerful symbol and is used in meditation to help make a deeper connection to ourselves to bring balance and harmony. This March there will be some wonderful workshops in meditate Art and Create using and making mandala Art with the Chakra energy system  for more detail and finding your inner peace join me at www.meditateartandcreate.com
