As the political situation continues to bombard us every day, it is easy to stress over the different issues and different opinions expressed by friends and family.
In the November 2018 issue of Guide for Spiritual Living: Science of Mind magazine, writer Kathy Juline, RScP, offers seven seeds of serenity to ‘plant’ to achieve serenity, even if when find ourselves surrounded by chaos.
“To embrace serenity as a way of life is to find freedom from emotions that have their origin in fear and insecurity,” Juline writes.
But how do we achieve — and sustain — a serene state of mind among all the turmoil we see around us?
Here are seven seeds we might plant:
- Solitude — Turn within to your deep self, communing with that which is most alive and real.
- Silence — Stop the live streaming of old programming. “Listening to the silence of our being,” Juline says, “we hear more clearly our own authentic promptings….”
- Stillness — Enable the quietude of your mind to spread throughout your being, embracing an inner sense of calm ease.
- Simplicity — Let go of excesses. “A crowded mind cannot think as clearly or effortlessly as one that is kept free of complexity and confusion,” Juline writes.
- Sufficiency — We are enough. And we have enough.
- Surrender — “Surrender brings out strengths,” Juline posits. “When we surrender, we turn from the lesser within ourselves and allow the greater to be expressed.”
- Shift — Decide to regulate your thinking so you “turn completely away from the appearance of imperfection and hold fast to the belief that we live in a spiritual universe.”
Juline adds, “Through daily practice, we enter into a deep sense of assurance and freedom, a partnership with the Divine.”
Serenity creates a space where we can find and give love even when we may not understand or agree with what we hear or see from those around us.
Once we can all step back and embrace the 7 steps above, we can come from a position of love and compassion — rather than anger or frustration.
