Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.21 – Deep Satisfaction

Writing down the ideas that flow from the Universe is very satisfying.

It is wonderful to feel the answers to questions I haven’t even asked yet come into my consciousness.

Putting myself into a state of meditation by relaxing and focusing inward releases me from the mundane, and when I return, I am refreshed to take care of it.

It has been worth the long journey and struggle to choose a different direction, to learn the techniques to rewrite the inner noise and to silence it.

Now there is room to receive and, having received, to give.

Now there is deep satisfaction in the way I am living my life.

Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.20 – How do I know I am safe?

A vague sense of unease was bothering me.

My husband’s response was “Who says you aren’t?”

Good question.

I remembered that I am safe right here, right now, wherever I am.

Establishing that for myself, over and over again, 

whatever it takes, 

helps me contribute a moment and a place of peace in this world

where there is so much weight in the news on disruption.

Whenever I feel that uneasiness about my safety, I can ask the question, “Who says so?”

I can take control and reestablish my own peace and poise from within.

That proves that the answer from outside is always a lie.

I am living what is true for me.

Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.19 – Practicing Calm

Changing from a life of anxiety and depression means building a lot of new habits.

My newest one is sitting still until I can feel the calm.

It’s what I am calling a “light show”!

Getting calmer and lighter means waiting for myself to relax before moving on to the next thing.

I sit and wait to feel the calm and then I get up.

Taking time to feel the calm lets me move with more grace.

It is especially wonderful to be able to move without feeling a habitual drag of dread clinging to me.

There is more light in my life and I am grateful.

I can take the time to feel it.

To see it.

To acknowledge it.

The stuff that happens is minor now, and there are no repercussions.

There is comfort and moving forward.

I like learning my new habit.

Pebbles of Peace Pathway 4.28 – Criteria for Harmony

The only criteria for harmony is to keep listening within.

There are no other requirements.

Listening within insures a peaceful and calm dimension for immersion.

All our needs are met in this calm and peaceful place.

Practicing calmness and peacefulness as a baseline for taking any action insures that all will be done.

Nothing will be left out through confusion and hurry.

All will be done in a beautiful way.

It will bless all the people involved.

It will be done in a timely manner.

It will utilize materials and talents in optimum ways.

Everyone will be satisfied with the process and the result.

It will build a foundation on which to base the next project.

With peace and calm, harmony is insured.

Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.17 –
Newness and Peace

I am guided to study all the time.

There is always something new and interesting to learn about and to do.

It is so peaceful to be able to learn so much and to practice new skills.

There truly is no limit.

It is wonderful to develop new vocabularies about new topics.

Seeing a new project come together is exciting.

Experiencing a new routine as priorities take new shapes is refreshing and invigorating.

Moving from project to project with no deadline is relaxing.

I know that everything is being completed in its own way in its own time.

Variety and freshness is appreciated.

There is a lightness and a harmony to my life that is all new.

Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.16 –
The Next Step

Taking the next step peacefully builds on my new habit of being completely satisfied.

As I complete what I am able to do, since I am giving it my best, I have been acknowledging that “I am completely satisfied.”

That allows me to move to the next step without self-criticism or anxiety.

When I come back to the project, I am able to assess my progress and begin where I left off.

I don’t feel anxious because I haven’t completed it yet, because I am completely satisfied with my work to this point.

I am able to think clearly.

I am able to work freely.

I do not bring any “baggage” to my work.

I simply do the next step.

Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.15 – Using the Ideas that Come to Me

I find that it is imperative to use the ideas that come to me.

Once I have tuned in and received them, they require the next step.

To honor their origin and to continue to receive more, I nurture and protect them and bring them to pass.

The Universe keeps the flow going by showing me which next steps to take.

When I forget the sequence and start to take off on my own, things just shut down.

Then, when I remember how to listen, once again, the next step comes to mind.

This has become such a persistent pattern, that I now have a practice to keep the flow going.

Although it was important and helpful at the time to learn another way of doing things from various teachers and business practices, my new way is individually tailored to my talents.

Now that I can see a track record from listening and being guided and taking those steps, I can trust it completely.

Moving forward with certainty and assurance and pausing to listen, beats those panic attacks and trying to make things fit into an old pattern.

Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.14 – Original Peace

The peace of choosing to guide yourself is very different from reacting to calm yourself down from what is in the world.

I learned how to control my breathing and to affirm the independence of my thought in order to keep myself from reacting to the world around me.

But looking within to find my own original peace is far more effective.

I have discovered the world within.

It is a true world, faithful to each one of us.

It contains our individuality, untainted by any outside world effects.

It is true peace.

From this true peace within, we discern who we are.

Within our identity is our deep purpose, and out of that comes the action we are guided to take.

When we send out our own original sense of peace, it is felt in the world around us.

In the midst of hurried chaos, peace stands out.

It attracts those who are listening for it.

It is a guiding spark for others to look within and to find their own peace and purpose.

Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.13 –

Hidden Forces

We are discovering the hidden forces within us.

We are discovering that they have been there all along.

We have been feeling their influence through intuition and inspiration for a long time.

Through becoming aware of a deep quiet place within each of us, we are able to listen consciously for guidance from within.

More and more of us are discovering this place of calm and guidance.

Some are finding it through meditation.

Some are finding it through the influence of spiritual writers.

Some are just noticing the little nudges that come to thought.

We each receive our own direction and guidance and inspiration.

We come to some of the same conclusions and find ourselves in the association of others of like mind.

We are building up to a tipping point where some kind of action or even thought-action will guide the whole planet in its compassion to provide for and take care of all of us.

Since the planet has been doing this always, we, ourselves, are the ones who are joining our awareness with that of the planet.

It will become unthinkable to consider some people more important than other people.

It will become necessary to do all we can to take care of every one of us.

Such is the great guidance of love and compassion that is coming to more and more people all over the planet.
