Perfecting the Art of Peace

 

It's official...I'm in my Soft Era...and not for any of these silly reasons you see flooding the internet right now...outside of the keeping to yourself and minding your business; not becoming emotionally invested in the things that are happening outside of you.  Now that's a sentiment I can get behind in Any era!  I just came to the realization that there are no hard edges in Peace.  It's calm, tranquil, and smooth; silky to the touch...That's exactly the feeling I'm going for...

I have moments of pure bliss throughout the day, so I began to observe these moments to myself, "How can I make this feeling last?  How do I make this my preferred state of being?"  As opposed to allowing anxiety to kick in, sending my over analytical mind into overdrive, I instead looked to my inner child.  At what points throughout the day was she most stimulated and engaged?  Now that answer was very simple:  "When I am learning and creating."  Yes!  These are my greatest joys.  Writing is definitely apart of that process...

Next I checked in with my body asking, "Girl, when do you feel your most sensational?  What is it I need to do for you?"  Her response was, "Well I love Spring Water,  herbal teas with brown sugar and honey with breakfast, morning Yoga, Eye masks three times a week, and long, hot showers with Eucalyptus steamers!"  Sounds like my kinda girl...Done...

"Ok Mind, you up next homie, what you got for me?"  She said, "I'm with the little lady on the learning aspect.  You're a pretty interesting chick whose into some dope stuff, so I like exploring each of those avenues in different ways.  We must keep reading and writing; any and everything we possibly can!"  Absolutely! as a matter of fact there were 2 new books I was just thinking about starting, and I need to also finish up that Tarot Card Reading Certification...I got you Homie...

Most sacred to my heart, I finally checked in with my higher self.   "My Love, what is it that you desire?!"  Her answer didn't come in words; it was a feeling...The best way too describe it was lots of light, airiness, floral, and heavily smelled of incense.  I knew precisely what that meant...

It was resounding Yeses for me across the board!  I was more than  happy to fall into this beautiful, balanced flow.  Each part of me simultaneously having her needs met, and agreeing to work in tandem.  Happiness is a choice that must be cultivated on a daily basis by taking both responsibility and control over your emotions and responses to life...Eh, it's Gonna Life; it's up to you to find the least treacherous path for yourself through.  Anything wanting to challenge those beautiful boundaries, must go...
