How to maintain our inner peace?

We always talk about the importance of inner peace

While we also might realize

We are not maintaining this inner peace well

What causes this result?

There are mainly three factors.

Which are; our awareness, our intention and our choice

Most of the time, we are not aware of it.

That’s why we are engaged in all sorts of things

We also don’t have a clear intention

That is associated with our awareness as well

Lastly, we didn’t make good use of our choice

When we want to maintain our inner peace

It is simple, as we take action to choose, then it is done

While it is difficult at all times

As this choice depends on our awareness and intention

We cannot easily be aware of this choice.

Especially when we encounter all sorts of intense emotions

These emotions can draw our attention easily

Then our intention of maintaining our inner peace will be weak

That’s why we end up have not taken action to choose

Sometimes we even feel we have no choice

These intense emotions have trapped us.

We didn’t realize we have a choice at all times

We can choose inner peace in every situation

We know this by words, but when we encounter intense emotions.

We will focus our attention on these emotions

When we want to change this situation

We need to undergo the continuous practice.

We can do so by observing the breath

That is one of the simple ways that can help us

Any method that can arouse our awareness

It would be helpful to maintain our inner peace

As the starting point is always about awareness

We need to be patient and practice continuously.

Before we can see the effect of awareness on inner peace

The step is we first be aware

Then we hold our intentions tight.

Finally, we take action to choose inner peace.

The steps are simple, but it could be hard to take action.

That is why we need to practice observing the breath

We need to make sure we can be aware of this choice

Even when we encounter an intense situation

As long as we start to be aware of this choice

We take action to choose inner peace at the present

That is how it works to maintain our inner peace

In the process, we might not be able to achieve it quickly

We need to be patient in the process

And apply forgiveness when we fail to do so

We can always make good use of cleaning to help us

We choose to clean up all data blocking our awareness

The rest will then go smoothly as what we want
