An Invitation To Calm And Inner Peace

— By slowing down and listening to our spirit, we will understand better what is needed. We may feel grief, sorrow, sadness, and despair. Yet, in quiet moments, we can also hear a soft voice reminding us: "It's Okay. Breathe. Cry. Ask for help." The space within each of us is expansive enough to hold and cradle the various emotions we experience. When we let the emotions flow through unobstructed, brief moments of peace can eventually enter. Life's surface activities may still swirl about us like choppy waves on the water. However, by delving deeper we discover how to be in the world—without being overwhelmed by it. Take a step back from a troubling situation. Allow your spirit a calm respite. Pause. Breath in peace. Breathe out calm. Be present in this moment. Our inner journeywork is waiting. As unbelievable as it may sound, vast starlit galaxies will be there to greet us and support us when we venture into the deeper Spirit realm of our being." Valeria Teles interviews Diana J.
