ESSENCE: Peacefulness will emerge throughout the world.

PEACEFULNESS is a state of tranquility and calm, free from disturbance or conflict. It is often associated with feelings of harmony, contentment, and well-being.

Peacefulness can describe our inner state and our outer environment. Internally, peacefulness is a sense of emotional and mental serenity, often characterized by a lack of stress, anxiety, or worry. Externally, peacefulness refers to an environment that is free from chaos, hostility, or violence.

As humans, one of our superpowers is the ability to remain calm and peaceful, regardless of what’s happening in the outside world. Our ability to achieve this takes tremendous strength and Self-awareness. Even so, there are times, particularly in emergency situations, when our emotions get out of whack. During these chaotic instances, the wise and strong ones know how to calm their bodies and clear their heads in order to best handle themselves with confidence and peacefulness.

Ways to cultivate peacefulness include mindfulness and meditation practices, living a healthy lifestyle, sustaining positive relationships, dealing with conflict resolution, engaging with community, and supporting environmental stewardship. Peacefulness is an essential component for living a balanced, fulfilling, harmonious, and joyful life.

They know there is more to life than struggle. Yet they have grown to realize that living a fulfilling life means embracing all life experiences as they are, thus avoiding the tendency to relish the good times and discount, or even deny, the bad times. Seekers embrace life as it is.

Awakened are peaceful. Many tend to perceive their inner peacefulness as among their greatest qualities. They tend to let go of the past, choosing to be fully aware in the present, while remaining confident about their future. Many are calm and centered amid the chaos of the noisy world around them. Awakened have experienced the power of allowing the outcome to naturally unfold by surrendering their personal will to Divine will….
