Letting Peace be the Empire

There’s no right or wrong decision, as life is a learning game to discover ourselves and experience the world through all forms of expressions. The only wrong choice would be not learning from our mistakes and repeating the same mistakes again and again. 

However, actions have pros and cons, benefits and consequences. When we don’t consider the benefits and consequences of our choices, we act on impulse and we end up with a life we don’t want and many troubles. 

Impulse doesn’t consider the benefits in the decision, it only seeks to satisfy this present moment. Impulse doesn’t foresee the consequences, it only seeks to satisfy this present moment. 

When we live carefree, not paying any attention to our choices, years down the road or perhaps sooner, we end up with a life we don’t want. When we assess our options, and we choose what resonates with our inner self and not merely our senses, we feel inner peace and joy.

If we let inner peace and joy guide us to our ideal choices, we will not be disappointed. What other guidance do we have that we can depend on? Have you ever had a choice to make and the logical choice just didn’t feel right? You had two options and one choice made complete logical sense, but you felt uneasy about it. The other option didn’t make logical sense, however, you felt peace about it. How many times do we choose the logical or expected choice given the circumstances, and we end up regretting it? Then we say I should have went with my gut.

There’s a reason why all the masters say,  let peace be your empire, and if you don’t feel peace about it, don’t act on it. Same applies if you feel peace about your decision but it doesn’t seem logical, act on it. 

How many great achievers were told not to pursue their passion and to give up, and they were constantly reminded they didn’t have what it takes. How many great achievers faced all types of adversities and failure, yet they prospered in the end. They prospered because they believed in themselves and they knew they could do it. If they would have given up because of failure, criticism or adversities, they would have never fulfilled their dream. 

The criticism and obstacles didn’t keep them down, as they listened to their inner guidance and wisdom. They chose the path that brought them joy despite everyone telling them it wasn’t logical or worthwhile. 

Most people have their own expectations of logic and conformity for your life. They try to push their beliefs and expectations on you because in their mind, the choice or dream doesn’t seem plausible. Out of compassion, they want what’s best for you, so they try to persuade you. They think they have your best interest at heart, however, only you know what’s best for you. 

You know what brings joy, inner peace, and happiness. You know what you’re passionate about. You know what feels right and what doesn’t. Choose what brings inner peace and joy, don’t conform to others’ expectations of you. 

The best approach for decision making is to contemplate our actions and let peace be our empire. It’s by trusting our inner guidance and knowing peace will not lead us off course.

The Only Obligation

The only obligation in life that is inevitable, is death. Everything else is a choice, so why try to end the only unavoidable part of life? We try to end our life through our own will and deep down we know we’re still supposed to be here. In our heart, we know as long as we have breath, we’re supposed to be alive. Danny G.

Create Your Healing

Focusing On A Different Reality

We’ve all heard pain and disease is first created in the mind. But how much is created in our mind and how much is created by our physiology or other factors? Science is beginning to unravel the fact that we’re constantly changing our physiology by our focus, stress, and lifestyle choices.

Focusing on the pain or negative symptoms brings about most of our stress. It’s our thoughts on the pain or symptoms that create stress and perpetuates the problem or causes deterioration.

Many research studies discovered that through our everyday choices such as stress reduction techniques and healthy lifestyle choices, we have the power to change our physiology within months, or years depending on the body part.

When we focus on an improved condition or optimal health, we move towards this new and improved reality, or when we apply stress reduction techniques, we’re releasing resistance thereby causing less bodily pain or symptoms.

What makes a sensation or disease painful? When we focus on the sensation, we give it all types of names and descriptions, and then we dread the sensation coming back or we fear the sensation getting worse. We then fear the inevitable because whatever we’re focused on, we create.

It’s difficult to change a condition when we’re faced with bodily pain or symptoms because this is our current reality, and we’ve been giving it names and descriptions for as long as we had the symptoms. We then enlarge the pain and create emotional turmoil by our constant focus, fear and dread of the symptoms.

When we see the sensation as a perception of a sensation, then we no longer give it so much weight and attention and the pain diminishes. Only by focusing on a different reality, we’re able to create an improved condition.

If you were to focus solely on the pain, what would happen? The pain would start. Yet if someone were to distract you, are you still focused on the sensation? Continual distractions by focusing on a different reality will improve and heal your condition in time.

Healing will require faith despite the current condition contradicting your vision. By being steadfast, the new image in your mind will become your reality, and the time frame will be determined by your beliefs, expectation and your ability to receive healing.

Ask yourself, why does one person, say a sensation is painful or unbearable, yet another with the same sensation say it’s much more tolerable? Is it because of their physiology or is it because of their definition and attention on the sensation?

Some people may have a different threshold according to their physiology, but essentially, who created our own threshold? We’ve created our own threshold over the years by focusing on unwanted sensations, and then calling these sensations intolerable or painful.

What happens when your foot is throbbing, but you start laughing at a comment your friend made? Are you focused on your foot? What happens when you bring your awareness back to your throbbing foot? The pain starts again. Can a sensation exist without awareness of it, and wouldn’t it disappear if we’re not aware of it?

When you focus on something entirely different, you’re no longer magnifying the problem and you’re creating another reality in which you move towards. What would happen if you created your own reality in your mind that has nothing to do with your throbbing foot? It’s difficult, but if you can focus on your friend’s comment you can also focus on a different reality.

See the pain as only a sensation and see distraction as a means to focus on something entirely different other than your pain. When we focus on something which brings joy, we’re no longer magnifying the problem, and we’re no longer making it our only focus. Then the pain or symptoms subside and disappears in time because it can not exist, if we’re always focusing on a different reality.

My advice is, don’t give the symptoms any recognition, and focus on a different reality and you’ll see for yourself that disease is created by our attention and it cannot live in a healthy spiritual mind. When we no longer pay attention to the disease and we remain spiritually connected and faithful, the symptoms subsides and vanishes in time.
