Quick Tips For Inner Peace

Spirituality is at the center of Christianity. God is Spirit and Jesus says if we want to reach Him we must worship Him in spirit. Jhn 4:23 “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.”
Regardless of your interpretation of man’s spirituality here are some quick tips for inner peace, from an article written by a Co-Writer and sister in the Lord:
“We are not just human beings; we are spiritual beings, having a human experience!” The moment I heard this statement it resonated within my being, at the very core of my spirit. Although I did not fully understand the profound implications of this statement at the time, I somehow knew that I was about to undergo a life changing experience that would forever change the way I perceive myself and humanity as a whole.
While strongly rooted in Christian ideology during adolescence and the greater part of early adulthood, I was left with a sense that something was missing; I felt incomplete. Although I continued to grow spiritually throughout life, I began to question everyone and everything in search of a deeper truth that I intuitively knew existed within me. There had to be more to the equation in connection to the balance of God, spirituality and humanity than what I had been taught to believe my entire life.
This deeper truth meant that an intense evaluation of my inner self (self awareness) would not only be necessary; it would be essential in finding the balance I sought by fusing my core Christian beliefs with the essence of my spirituality. Integrating both meant finally being able to live in harmony with myself and others, while giving me an even greater understanding and appreciation of nature.
The path to inner peace begins by learning how and why the human ego exists. The human ego plays a vital role in our conditioned thought processes; which are programmed responses we develop throughout our lives beginning with infancy. These conditioned thought processes, also known as the human ego, can best be described as, that little voice in our head. This attachment to the human ego is the justification we use in determining how and why we react to or control ourselves, others and situations around us that inevitably arise in our daily lives.
The result of identifying and subsequently letting go of the human ego is the beginning of awareness; which is living in the present moment. In doing so, a shift in perception takes place and ultimately brings balance within. And the good news is that once realized, it only takes a moment to undo years, even decades, of conditioned thought processes that had once imprisoned many of us to a life of victimization; thus, allowing the presence of peace within (inner peace), even in the midst of adversity, chaos, crisis, emotional dysfunction and stress.
The study of spiritual awareness literature has given me a significantly greater insight and appreciation to understanding how and why the human ego plays such a critical role in our lives. I’ve learned the importance of living in the present; also known as, “The Now,” some call it “a Space or Pause.” While others refer to it as a, “State of Consciousness.”
The insightful writings and teachings of author “Eckhart Tolle” have been and continue to be an inspiration to me. They have become an essential element in my journey. His writing style is easy to read and comprehend; no matter the individuals social status, geography, age, race or gender. It is an immense effort to collectively educate and bring enlightenment to individuals and humanity.
* Quick tips that you may find helpful on your journey to inner peace.
* Let go of ego
A key to ending conflict and suffering both personally and universally. Learn how manipulating and destructive the human ego is. Start today with educating yourself about spiritual awareness through reading, by keeping your own personal journal and begin a practice of meditation; even if it is only for short periods of time at first.
* Recognize that we all carry within us a Pain-Body
Learn how the pain-body feeds on your thoughts, and how the pain-body feeds on drama. Through understanding the pain-body you can learn to accept yourself and others in addition too any situation or circumstances that you encounter.
* Give up the Role Playing
When you stop playing into the roles or labels that others have assigned to you throughout your life; you will begin to recognize your own self awareness. Thus, allowing you to let go of the unnecessary baggage you once carried.
* Stop living in the past, stop living in the future
The unwillingness or the inability to let go of the past, and the unwillingness or inability to quit worrying about the future are human ego characteristics that prevent us from obtaining a path of inner peace. Learn the relevancy of living in the present moment. Afterall, all any of us have is, “The Now.”
* Recognize that your thoughts are power
Whether spoken or unspoken; begin to speak only positive thoughts to yourself about yourself.
* Rise above the world of objects
Learn to transcend materialism and let go of obstacles that can thwart your efforts in obtaining inner peace.
May your journey initiate a shift in perception and lead you to a path of consciousness!
