Pebbles of Peace _

Practice Your Peaceful Nature

As you contemplate your day, you can feel the list of requirements descend on you.

You can lift this burden right away.

Gently move into your day and listen for Divine direction.

You are a loved and cherished member of Divine creation.

You have special characteristics of competence and patience.

You have the ability to listen within and receive Guidance.

You are able to move gently because you know how to release fear.

You know how to take tiny steps.

Your practice of peace benefits everyone who comes within the range of your thought.

It is worth practicing your ability to calm down and return to peace when you need to.

As soon as I catch myself becoming disturbed or agitated, I can take a deep calming breath.

I am in the place I belong.

If I do not feel comfortable where I am, I can listen for guidance to take action.

My practice of tiny steps moves me in the right direction throughout my day.

I release my fears when I realize I can trust myself to be where I belong.

I can move beyond visible means as I listen within and manifest a new situation.

Solutions are always appearing which lift me and others into a better state.

My peaceful nature desires continued and expanding peace into the atmosphere around me.

My desire is answered as I am patient, understanding, and protective of my own peace.

When I am taken in by disturbances, my peace is felt as an active force.

I gently go about my business.

I connect with the resources I need.

I feel the community of like-minded people around me.

We move into  a community of peace.

I maintain my peaceful nature and inspire others to do so, also.

Pebbles of Peace –

Discerning peace

When there is chaos and crisis all around me, I can move myself into a calm place.

I can discern what is inside me.

In my relationship with the Divine, there is well-being.

All is well within.

I am upheld and comforted and guided.

Whatever is necessary for my good appears naturally.

I calmly connect with whatever I need.

I spread well-being around me through my calm attitude.

I can discern the peace which is available to me.

Others feel my peace and move into it.

They release their concerns and worries.

They, too, can hear the guidance which is coming to them.

It is a beautiful moment of clarity each time this happens.

I feel myself relax and I see others become calm.

Together, we feel the power of peaceful Presence.

We are moved in the direction of community good.

We include all who live here and value their presence.

We feel the presence of the Divine within them.

We are able to see what needs to be done and to include those who have the best skills to do it.

We are able to offer training to those who are open to acquiring skills.

Our discernment of peace spreads outward and embraces all within our community.

We create peace in our community.

We address what needs to be done with a feeling of expectation and peace that it can be done.

Pebbles of Peace –

Peaceful awareness

Bringing peace into my life gives me a different kind of awareness.

I become aware of quiet inner direction.

I am not directed in the way that I see anyone else’s life or business developing.

I receive unique direction and guidance through my inner listening.

I am grateful to discover this.

It takes away the feeling of competition or pressure or tension.

It takes away the thought of limitation of any kind.

My peaceful awareness conveys itself to others through the quality and character of my work.

I am given my work and I share its message of inner listening.

This is what brought me out of a life of chaos and tension and illness.

I am in a completely different place because of my peaceful awareness.

It required me to commit myself completely in order to heal.

I am devoted to its practice now in order to maintain my calm and my health.

I am careful not to react to the news.

I create beautiful surroundings for myself.

I appreciate the changing seasons and beauty of Nature.

I love the uplifting creativity of artists.

I love to express appreciation for their work.

We are all united in our uplifting awareness.

It is fun to maintain my peace.

I notice this when I get disturbed and react.

I know how to move myself back into peaceful awareness.

My greatest and most valuable ability is this practice of peaceful awareness.

I share this knowledge for all who are willing to try it.

I invite you to put yourself in a quiet setting and to listen within.

Pebbles of Peace –

 Freedom in peace

Now that I know how to access inner peace, I spend more time there.

I release confusion and distraction and have more time to do what I love to do.

My peace gives me so much more freedom.

I have identified what my purpose is and I continually align with it.

It includes a lot of devotion to creativity as a way to share inspiration and peace.

It excludes a lot of outside activities which play no part in the flow and production of my ideas.

It has been an interesting adjustment to prioritize my response to inner guidance.

We are all so accustomed to taking direction and following our educated “norms”.

What could be more normal and natural than listening within to respond to what is most true to oneself?

That is what I am learning. 

That is the freedom and peace I am experiencing.

Through genuinely honoring what I love to  do, I have organized my studio to reflect the many states and stages of my creativity.

I am impelled to write each day and to share my inspiration.

I do this faithfully and happily.

In fact, if I do not do it, I do not feel like myself.

I return to this activity with some urgency.

Whatever is necessary is taken care of in perfect order as long as I align with my purpose and take my tiny steps.

All the resources show up as I listen within.

It is normal and natural to expect connections to happen in the right way.

I love how this occurs on a regular basis.

I have the freedom and confidence to expect perfect divine order.

I know now that I live in a Universe Which Loves Me.

I am led and guided throughout my day.

I release myself into that freedom and peace.

Pebbles of Peace –

Traveling in peace

I am grateful to have the opportunity to travel, so many opportunities, in fact.

It had been a dream of mine for a long time.

When it began to happen, I was so excited.

Now that I am in a position to travel more often, I appreciate it even more.

I am able to experience more of what interests me in other cultures.

I love discovering history and art and most especially, the little things.

I enjoy sitting in a cafe with a cup of tea while I sketch.

I love hearing the local conversations in languages I do not understand.

I love the rhythm and melodic flow of the different languages.

Sometimes I can hear conversations in several different languages throughout the cafe.

It is fun to hear the waiters address people in the different languages.

It gives me peace to know that there is so much communication across the world, in the little things.

As I gain more knowledge of languages, even on a beginning level, I begin to enter more of the world.

My access broadens my view and I can share it.

I can share it through my sketches, and through the children’s songs which I am writing in different languages as I learn them.

Music is a universal phenomenon, in its’ many and varied forms.

I feel so much peace as I find ways to contribute to a wider view.

The wish and desire of all of us is to live in peace and well-being.

The more we travel and learn from others who go to different countries, the more we can see the values we all share.

We are all interested in sharing the vast resources of the world.

We can all live in peace through sharing.

As we discover our unlimited resources within, we are inspired to find practical ways to share with everyone.

The value of travel is how it unifies us.

Pebbles of Peace –

Strength and Peace

My strength and my peace come from listening within.

I find my strength through peace, not through agitation.

Although I am capable of great physical and emotional effort, it does not contribute to my strength.

Unless I am drawing on the strength of the Infinite, I can run out.

And I have.

I have learned about strength through playing a musical instrument.

Tiny steps to correct hand positions and to play exactly in tune over and over again for hundreds and thousands of times, builds strength and accuracy and fluency.

The way to sustain hours of rehearsal is to build strength through hours of practice.

Listening within to hear each tiny step builds strength and fluency.

I know, absolutely, that I will be directed.

It is my practice.

It is my strength.

Through listening within, I trust the messages I receive.

I see the results through my consistent tiny steps.

I communicate through what I create with my many tiny steps.

It builds humility to listen and to take tiny steps.

It also builds confidence to see the results.

There is a flow connecting idea to action to results.

It is not glamorous.

It is not exciting.

It is not spectacular.

But it is peaceful and it is substantial.

Inner work, directed by the Infinite, is assured of success.

Success is the strength of living in peace.

Pebbles of Peace –

 Peaceful Expectations

I discover new meaning through listening within.

I expect to hear the ideas I need in order to have a happy day.

When I receive ideas, I align myself with the best sense of who I am.

That is just the way it works for me. 

It has not always worked that way for me at all.

I had to cultivate an entirely new vocabulary for myself in order to move in the direction of my dreams.

I learned to release what I did not want in order to make room for what I did want.

It was tricky, because a lot of what I did not want thought it not only belonged to me, it thought it was me.

After a while, I was able to redefine who I am and be who I want to be.

I find it so much more peaceful than living the set of behaviors and beliefs which attached themselves to me through my past experiences.

I have peaceful expectations through doing what I love to do.

I live in deep peace. I live in creative ecstasy.

I do not try to figure out how to get myself to do things that I need to do.

I do what I love.

I also do the regular things I need to, but it is not a struggle.

I committed myself to being the person I have become.

I love my life.

I love living in peace with myself.

I love who I am.

I am she who listens within and moves at the direction of the Divine.

I live in a Universe Which Loves Me.

There is lots of room in here, because the Universe Loves You, too.

You can expect peace when you align with who you are.

Pebbles of Peace –

Gentle Listening

Sometimes, I find myself turning to listen within out of frustration.

As I calm myself, I am able to feel the presence of guidance and comfort.

I do not want my opinions to be part of my listening experience.

I need the comforting, pure guidance of the Divine.

As I take on a more gentle attitude toward myself, I am ready to listen.

My ability to let go of my self-imposed limitations creates a ready atmosphere.

I  breathe deeply.

I am ready to listen.

The letting go of opinions constitutes humility.

There is a greater Power at work when I am ready to listen.

I am grateful to discover the power of gentleness.

The Divine patiently persists in teaching me.

I can only do my best work through gentleness.

I learn by being prompted over and over again.

I learn to share this way.

I learn all the skills I have ever learned this way.

The persistent presence of Guidance is what teaches me.

I still my restless thought.

I take the tiny steps over and over again.

I gently and powerfully build my new foundation.

When each layer is ready, I can see my new structure.

It is  not visible until every detail is correct.

Then it is useful.

The  humility to listen over and over again is what builds ny new structure.

Listening, and taking the tiny steps.

Pebbles of Peace –

My prestigious life

I am grateful to live the kind of life which is uplifting to others.

I say this because it is the way I recognize how my life has progressed.

From what felt like insurmountable emotional challenges, I have been able to find peace.

I have learned to treasure each tiny step toward peace.

By moving inward, I have left the opinions of myself and others behind.

I have been able to enter the great heart of the  Divine.

I have discovered the Universe Who Loves Me.

Since it is an infinite Universe, It loves you, too.

The prestige of peace is that it is an elevated state which does not take into consideration anything outside of itself.

Prestige is the art of maintaining an excellent standard, one which others look up to.

It is obtainable by anyone who desires it.

This desire must be put into action by taking all the tiny steps to create consistent excellence.

Once you discover this secret and take your first tiny step, you are on your way.

Each time this happens, it is uncomfortable to leave any detail undone.

I cannot rest until I figure out a solution to whatever is bothering me.

I will find it, because I crave excellence.

I crave peace of mind.

I insist on surrounding myself with the high standards which I practice. 

Finding the complete solution may take years.

It is part of the practice of a prestigious life.

It is a commitment to a high standard of living, one which helps create well-being for everyone.

For me, discovering the art of inner listening proves that prestige is available to anyone.

It is not exclusive, only very wonderful.

When you can create on a consistent level of imagination and excellence, you have a prestigious life.
