Famous Find Inner Peace Quotes

“Outer Peace Is Useless without Inner Peace” – Mahatma Gandhi

“You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.” ― Eckhart Tolle

Why Is It So Difficult To Find Inner Peace

Most people find it so difficult to find inner peace because we are so entangled with our thoughts, beliefs, and conditioning. In many ways we are a slave to our thoughts, a slave to our conditioning. And have an over attachment to the material world.

So much so that we are in a constant state of doing rather than being. They are in a constant state of fear; anxiety and/or stress.

It doesn’t occur to them that true bliss is inner peace. And that you can find inner peace every day when you know how. That is why so many people today are seeking Spiritual Teachers. Ways to find inner peace and connection to spirit, because people feel very disconnected from themself, from their divinity and god.

Finding Your Inner Peace

Finding Inner Peace takes time to master. Because we live in a world that has been manufactured to distract us and actually disempower us from accessing that stillness, accessing that peace and power.

But with the right life tools, the ability to find inner peace starts to get so much easier.

The Tools Spiritual Teachers Use To Help You Find Inner Peace

Most spiritual teachers use the art of meditation and awareness to access inner peace. Today we have access to so many different forms of meditation, mindfulness, and different teachings that help increase awareness. Tools that help you not just access the self and be in the moment, but to be more of the observer or witness to our thoughts rather than the engager.

How I Help Clients Find Inner Peace

I teach a variety of meditation and awareness techniques but I also teach most of my clients relaxation techniques and train students as Relaxation Therapists.

Because today people are carrying so much stress, trauma, old wounds, and old tension in their cellular bodies. This amount of tension and trauma makes it difficult for the body and cellular body to relax.

What I Learned As A

Meditation Teacher Helping Students Find Inner Peace

Early in my career as a Meditation Teacher I quickly realised how disconnected from their bodies most people were. How much tension and stress they had been holding onto in their body for decades. That these clients and students found it difficult to meditate.

Therapist And Stress Coach Helping Clients Suffering From Trauma And Stress

So I found in these cases and in clients suffering from PTSD it is was more useful to begin by teaching  Relaxation Techniques. As a Stress Management Therapist, I find these tools give those with trauma, severe chronic stress, chronic anxiety, or those suffering from chronic pain a better chance to come off the chronic stress cycle.

Meditation and Relaxation Techniques are some of the most powerful stress management techniques you can teach someone. The key is finding the right meditation and relaxation technique for that client.

For example, there are some meditation techniques or ways of using meditation I would never use initially on someone with trauma. There are some relaxation techniques not ideal for certain injuries or illnesses. A reason why you should always get help from someone suitably qualified to support and advise you.

Why Stress Is The Opposite Of Inner Peace

Stress is on the polar opposite scale of inner peace and calm. When we feel “Stressed” our body is responding to its natural innate survival “fight” or “flight” response to something we perceive as a threat.

F.E.A.R

In modern daily life, this is usually a conditioned response, F.E A.R False Evidence Appearing Real. Basically, our beliefs, our conditioning, our fear, or our perception triggers off a survival reaction.

Most of the stress responses we experience today are not in proportion to the significance or insignificance of the situation. Because in everyday stress, what we believe about the situation or threat is often worse than the actual reality of the situation.

That is why distorted thoughts and distorted conditioning are the main cause of long-term stress. When you suffer from daily stress over a long period of time, the body often forgets how to “switch off”.

It can become more hypersensitive and overreact. So it needs to re-learn how to RELAX again to find inner peace. So encouraging the Relaxed Response is vital and a great gateway into a path of much more contentment, even enlightenment.
