Peace of mind. Soul peace. Here is what Mooji writes about the state of rest

Once I read an interesting definition of the word "Peace", which I really liked and which allows you to better understand its essence.

Literally - AT THE WORLD OF CREATION, at the beginning of the creation of the world, at the helm of the creation of the world.

Being creative does not always mean being active. Sometimes great creation begins with inaction. Sometimes it is very difficult for us to do nothing, we want to fix everything, change, influence, cancel, rebuild. re-educate. And very often all efforts are fruitless, and sometimes even harmful. And here it is very important to learn to ACCEPT and do nothing, to allow It to Be, keeping peace and wisdom.

You are the Creator of your own world and your own life.

It is always important to remember this, especially when you want to push the responsibility onto someone else or something else (he (she) is to blame for our conflicts!, it happened, it is itself and so on).

Maybe it seems to you that you are not able to influence certain circumstances, I will not convince you of this. However, YOUR REACTIONS to these circumstances are completely in your hands. You can react the way you want. You can be offended by the whole world, or you can start looking into yourself and find out what you are doing, that everything is going in your life this way and not otherwise?

The most important thing, in my opinion, is to keep calm, no matter what happens. Fear, doubt and panic, growing to enormous proportions, can greatly interfere.

There is an excellent meditation when you are excited and no reasonable arguments can calm you down - Retire!, close your eyes, try to stop the flow of thoughts, and repeat the word to yourself "PEACE". I don't know how, but this miraculous word works very well!!! Sit like this for 10-15 minutes and you will feel this amazing state.

Here is what Mooji writes about the state of PEACE:

Most importantly, whatever happens to you, stay in the Heart of Being. Do not panic! If the mind panics, be aware: I am not that panic. It is very important to realize that there are "things" in life that nothing can be done about. Mindfulness makes it possible to accept those situations that you cannot control, which are beyond your control. Do not fuss: "What should I do, what should I do!?" - not the time to do something, the time - just to be!
In general, never lose peace for anyone! Even for your children! Even for God's sake! Don't lose your peace! When the mind is centered on stillness, all energies, all forces come alive. Then you don't go into a state of panic, you focus on the Truth. But if you give in to panic and plunge into it, it becomes your close friend, it seems to flow through your veins. Take it easy! Let the body experience it all... Understand that any disturbance cannot touch Awareness. All this restlessness can do nothing with the true Self. Find it and be the Presence itself. You will see that there is silence and silence inside you, even when what is happening around seems to be chaos.
Many years ago I was in India and while there I received a fax from London that I urgently needed to call home. This message came from my friend, who himself was a calm, balanced person. I knew that if he told me about it, then something serious had happened! I was walking towards the telephone booth, there was a lot of excitement inside, but at the same time there was peace.
Sometimes there are moments in life when you just need to give up.. Dialing the phone number, I knew that something had happened to one of my family members. When I got through, I heard: "I'm sorry, but your son Jason just died" ...
And now.. if you can only imagine the state when you are skinned alive!.. Such heavy news!.. But, nevertheless, in the heart.. there was silence.. it was from this place
silence, and I set off. There was not even time to say goodbye to the Master!
I was on my way to London to bury my son. This silence in me remains the same now as it was then. She is still here and now...
Find that peace, that stillness within you. You cannot control anything except your own reactions, experiences. In fact, and you can't even call it control, you're just sitting in the heart of Being. And this approach is applicable to any life situation. Silence does not belong to me, I am silence!
In satsang, I point you to this, to something that cannot be touched! From this place you can do everything that needs to be done on the path of life, but it will no longer be your personal decision, the decision of the mind. It will be a manifestation, an expression of Life itself...

The irony is that modern technology is supposed to reduce our time spent on work, but in fact they allow us to do more and more, and our life has become faster and more hectic than ever.

Life rushes so fast that it seems like it will pass us by before we have time to truly enjoy it.

However, it doesn't have to be that way. Let's fight the fuss, let's live slowly and enjoy it.

Removing the rush from your life means that you will have time to enjoy the morning silence, instead of frantic packing for work. This means enjoying whatever you are doing, enjoying being outdoors, focusing on the person you are talking to or spending time with - all of this instead of constantly rushing around with your cell phone or communicator, constantly thinking about work and e-mail. . This means working on one task instead of grabbing onto several things at once without really concentrating on one.

Reducing the hustle and bustle is a conscious choice, it's not always easy, but it will make you much happier.

Here's how.

1. Do less. It is impossible to get rid of the rush when you are busy with a million things at once. Make a conscious decision to do less. Focus on what is really important, what must be done, and let everything else take its course. Spread your tasks in time so that you can go through life at a leisurely pace.

2. Live in the present. It is not enough just to slow down - you also need to carefully monitor what you are doing at the moment. If you find yourself thinking about what is to be done, or about something that has already happened, or about what might happen… gently but firmly bring yourself back down to earth. Concentrate on what is happening right now. On what you do, on what surrounds you, on the people around you. It takes some practice, but it's necessary.

3. Turn off your phone. You don't have to be always connected. If your iPhone, Blackberry or other mobile device bothers you, just turn it off. It's best to leave it at home whenever possible. If your work is computer related, take time to distract yourself and do something else. When you are constantly online, you are doomed to be constantly distracted, you will constantly receive various information, all kinds of requests and demands. It's hard to find peace of mind if you keep checking your inbox.

4. Focus on communication. When we spend time with friends, family, or meeting colleagues, we are in fact far too often not with them. We even seem to be talking to them, but our attention is riveted to all sorts of devices, for example, to a mobile phone. Physically we are here, but our mind thinks about very different things. We listen, but really think about ourselves and what we would like to say. None of us is immune from this, but with a conscious effort of will, you can abstract yourself from the outside world and simply be with those who are nearby. Everything happens in life and maybe you will never have such an opportunity again.

5. Appreciate nature. Many of us spend most of our time within the four walls of our apartments and offices, in a car or subway, and are just waiting for a chance to escape into nature. But often, even when we leave the city, all we do is chat on the cell phone, instead of contemplating nature, breathing fresh air, enjoying the greenery and serene water surface. Use every opportunity to spend time outdoors, do whatever you want - walking in the forest, hiking, swimming, etc. Feel the touch of wind and water. Try to be in nature every day, either alone or with someone you care about.

6. Eat slower. Instead of stuffing food into yourself as fast as possible, which leads to obesity and loss of pleasure from the process, learn to eat slowly. Focus on every piece. Assess the taste of food and its texture. A leisurely meal is doubly beneficial - you eat less food and at the same time it seems to be even tastier. I also advise you to eat more natural foods with spices (rather than ingesting too fatty, salty or sweet).

7. You go quieter - you will continue. In our crazy world, it is common for drivers to drive as fast as possible, despite the fact that this is the cause of most car accidents, stress and wasted fuel. Try to make it a rule to drive slowly. Enjoy the environment. Use the time on the road to reflect on your life, on the nature of things. Driving will be safer and more enjoyable. Plus, you'll use less gas.

8. Find pleasure in everything. Reminds me of the wish to “live in the present”, but here we will go even further. Whatever you do, be here and now, consider each approach to your activity, look for among them that brings the most satisfaction. For example, when you are washing dishes, instead of trying to finish this boring chore as quickly as possible, feel the sensation of warm water, foam, dishes. The process of washing dishes can be fun if you learn to look at it from the right point of view. Think along those lines when you're doing all the tedious things - washing the car, dusting, doing laundry, sweeping... Life can be much more enjoyable if you learn to perceive it correctly.

9. Only one task. Focus on one single task at a time. If there is an urgent need to switch to another job, stop, take a deep breath and return yourself to a normal balanced state.

10. Breath. If you suddenly notice that you are too excited, in a hurry, etc., stop and take a deep breath. Take a few more breaths if necessary. Feel the air moving through your body as the tension leaves you. Full concentration on your breathing will bring you back to normal, allowing you to calm down. After all, it's always nice to take a couple of good breaths. Do them right now and you will understand what I mean :)

PACIFICATION

Appeasement is the creation of peace in one's soul. Under inner peace is understood such an internal state of a person when he experiences peace and peace in his soul (a state of serenity and peace).

It is impossible to become peaceful without gigantic internal work on oneself, on self-development. And first of all, you need to decide on your own.

Appeasement is the starting point, as long as there is no peace in the soul, there is no spiritual development, there is no harmony of life.
Appeasement should become the basic principle of your life, its center, the axis around which all your life goals are formed. Because peace in the soul is the measure of happiness that we all strive for so much.

Appeasement is the ability to accept this world, but at the same time create your own world in your soul, full of love and harmony. Cm. .

“A person with a huge supply of patience and tolerance goes through life with a special degree of calmness and tranquility. Such a person is not only happy and emotionally balanced, but he is also healthier and less prone to illness. He has a strong will, a good appetite, and it is easier for him to fall asleep, because his conscience is clear. Dalai Lama

“True peace is attained only by one who has completely outlived the desire for sensual pleasures, is free from desires, does not consider himself the owner of anything and has got rid of false ego.” Bhagavad Gita

“Peace is the enjoyment of the world in oneself. By fulfilling his duties, a person achieves peace. Oleg Gennadievich Torsunov.

“Inner peace will help you endure all the hardships of life with calmness and balance. This does not mean that in life you will not have problems and disappointments, just that you will have the strength to overcome and resolve these problems with confidence and calmness. Andelin Helen.

Inner peace is one of the main components of success and happiness. A lot depends on the inner state of a person. In any area of ​​life, what matters is what a person has inside. Because it determines what he projects into the world. Peace comes when a person is in complete harmony with himself, other people and the world around him.

When a person takes pleasure, his sense organs are satisfied. But it should be remembered that the reasons that deliver this feeling can be both good and bad. Sun, light, food, laughter, music, and relaxation are among the benefits that are useful. Material possessions and luxury can bring satisfaction to the senses, but will they bring peace and tranquility? Sinful pleasures never lead to good. They destroy not only the body, but also the spirit, so they should be abandoned and any temptations should be avoided in every possible way. Achieving lofty goals can make a person happy and peaceful. Despite the fact that obstacles are overcome through struggle and trials, they bring the joy of victory, self-confidence. It is very difficult to describe what happiness is, it must be felt.
Harmony

Calmness and order, general peace of mind - these are the desired states of every person. Our life basically passes like on a swing - from negative emotions to euphoria, and vice versa.

How to find and maintain a point of balance so that the world is perceived positively and calmly, nothing irritates or frightens, and the present moment brings inspiration and joy? And is it possible to find long-term peace of mind? Yes, it is possible! Moreover, along with peace comes true freedom and simple happiness to live.

These are simple rules, and they work religiously. You just need to stop thinking HOW to change and start APPLYING them.

1. Stop asking "Why did this happen to me?" Ask yourself another question: “What wonderful thing happened? What good can this do for me?” The good is there, you just have to see it. Any problem can turn into a real gift from above, if you consider it as an opportunity, and not as a punishment or injustice.

2. Practice gratitude. Every evening sum up: for what you can say “thank you” to the day you lived. If peace of mind is lost, remember the good things you have and the things you can be thankful for in life.

3. Load the body with physical exercises. Remember that the brain most actively produces “hormones of happiness” (endorphins and enkephalins) during physical training. Therefore, if you are overcome by problems, anxiety, insomnia - go outside and walk for several hours. A quick step or run will distract from sad thoughts, saturate the brain with oxygen and raise the level of positive hormones.

4. Develop a “cheerful posture” and create a happy posture for yourself. The body can help wonderfully when you need to restore peace of mind. It will “remember” the feeling of joy if you just straighten your back, straighten your shoulders, stretch happily and smile. Consciously hold yourself in this position for a while, and you will see that the thoughts in your head become calmer, more confident and happy.

5. Bring yourself back to the here and now. A simple exercise helps to get rid of anxiety: look around, focus on what you see. Start mentally "voicing" the picture, inserting as many words as possible "now" and "here". For example: “I am walking down the street now, the sun is shining here. Now I see a man, he is carrying yellow flowers…” and so on. Life consists only of "now" moments, don't forget that.

6. Don't exaggerate your problems. After all, even if you bring a fly close to your eyes, it will take on the size of an elephant! If some experience seems insurmountable to you, think as if ten years have already passed ... How many problems there were before - you solved them all. Therefore, this trouble will also pass, do not dive into it with your head!

7. Laugh more. Try to find something funny in the current state of affairs. It doesn't work - then just find a reason for sincere laughter. Watch a funny movie, remember a funny incident. The power of laughter is amazing! Peace of mind often returns after a good dose of humor.

8. Forgive more. Resentments are like heavy, foul-smelling stones that you carry around with you. What peace of mind can there be with such a burden? Therefore, do not hold evil. People are just people, they cannot be perfect and always bring only good. So forgive the offenders and forgive yourself.

10. Communicate more. Any pain hidden inside multiplies and brings new sad fruits. Therefore, share your experiences, discuss them with loved ones, look for their support. Remember that man is not meant to be alone. Peace of mind can only be found in close relationships - friendship, love, family.

11. Pray and meditate. Do not let bad evil thoughts control you, sow panic, pain and irritation. Change them to short prayers - an appeal to God or to meditation - a state of no-thinking. Stop the unruly flow of internal conversation. This is the basis of a good and stable state of mind.

When a person's daily routine is disturbed, his sensitivity to the surrounding negativity increases several times. They begin to annoy any little things, situations that he would not have paid attention to before, they simply piss him off. This suggests that a person does not have enough energy and. His reserves of inner happiness are practically empty and therefore peace is leaving his life.

This very often happens in couples in which one begins to criticize the other very strongly. This leads to inner exhaustion. And in such a situation, people can make their main mistake - "rest from each other." They want to go far from each other, in the hope that such a separation will help them regain inner harmony, patience, that it will become easier for them.

The error lies in the fact that it is unnecessary to do this. For another person who is "not tired", this can be very painful. This is the first reason. And the second is that you can restore your inner reserves of happiness next to your dear person. And this will allow you not to injure him with your statements about the “rest” you need.

The fact that a person becomes intolerant of the negativity around him is a wake-up call that should tell you that you need to pay attention to the quality of your life. You need to normalize your diet and daily routine, go in for sports, take a shower twice a day, and so on. If a person does not stop spending his internal energy reserves without replenishment, then peace will soon disappear. This can lead to thoughts that there will no longer be a place for happiness in your family, that they want to fire you at work, and so on.

Having lost peace, a person begins to see difficulties in everything and it seems to him that the whole world has turned away from him. Such a mood can form a long-term depression in a person’s mind, and it will be even more difficult to fight it. This is the scenario of the disease - not starting treatment at the beginning, then it will lead to complications. And in this case, complications begin to manifest themselves in the fact that a person's pursuit of a source of external happiness drives him into the pit of attachment to the material world even more strongly.

He starts taking out a loan to buy a new car or another apartment, taking overtime to pay for it all. But why is there no happiness? It must appear! But diseases come because the body wears out. A person who is in a state of inner peace does not care much that a neighbor has a better car or a larger apartment. For him, everything that happens is for the best.

I want to illustrate this with an interesting story. At the court of one king there was a minister who was distinguished by his tranquility. You can usually say about such people: "Spit in the eyes - God's dew." When the king asked the opinion of the minister, he replied: "This is the grace of God." Harvest year - God's mercy, lean year - God's mercy. In the country, peace is God's mercy; enemies attacked - God's mercy.

There was some welcome. The king, wanting to demonstrate his skill with weapons, unsuccessfully grabbed his saber and accidentally cut off the phalanx of his finger. At that moment, there was a minister nearby, to whom the king turned for help. The minister replied that it was all the grace of God. After this answer, the king could no longer stand it and ordered the minister to be imprisoned.

After some time, when the king's finger healed, he went hunting. In the process of hunting, he became very carried away, drove far into the forest and dismounted from his horse. Some sounds frightened the horse, and she ran away. The king was left alone in a deaf and unfamiliar forest.

When it began to get dark, he heard some rustling. I thought that this was his detachment going to look for him - he went to meet them. But it turned out to be savages who seized the king and wanted to sacrifice to their goddess. And when the altar knife was already raised above him, the shaman of the tribe shouted: “Stop! Do you want to anger the Goddess by sacrificing a cripple? He does not have a phalanx of a finger! So the king was free.

When he reached his palace, he ordered the minister to be released immediately. The minister was brought before the king and he said, “My dear friend, you are very wise. You always said the same thing. But tell me, how can it be the grace of God that I put you in jail? And the minister replied: “If you had not put me in prison, then we would have gone hunting together and would have caught both of us. But they would sacrifice me. God's grace saved my life."

When unpleasant events occur in life, it can unsettle any person. But you need to calm down. After all, an event, good or bad, carries a meaning. And perhaps the fact that the family locked you at home and accidentally took all the keys saved your life.

If you want to know what events fate has prepared for you, or if you are at a crossroads and don’t know which direction to move in life, then it will help you, which she can spend in cities such as Chelyabinsk, Kurgan, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Ufa, Omsk . You can also book a consultation.

Sunny days, smiles and happiness!

Always yours, Irina Orda!
