The sankalpa I choose during Yoga Nidra meditation is “I am Peace” or “I am Peaceful.” Sankalpa is defined as the resolve, determination and good intention that resonates and aligns sublimely with your essence. Cultivating and sharing teachings to create a more peaceful love filled existence means everything to me as a woman, wife, mother, author and life coach.
7 Steps to Create More Peace in Your Life:
Positive Thinking
- Attitude is everything … Why not start by choosing happiness? The next time you are cranky, think about how funny you are all puckered up and pissed off. Angry? Get over it!
Breathe
- Breathe deeply for 5 or 6 rounds of your breath every hour. When you pay attention to your breath your world will settle down.
Emotional Energy
- Let go of any excess baggage and learn how to tap into your happy place. Everyone has a crappy day … Learn to let it go. Say so long, bon voyage, later days to that big ugly sack of sticky darkness.
Self Love
- Love yourself as you are – in this moment. You are an amazing critter. You matter. Embrace your quirks, strengths, deficiencies and human kindness. There is nobody in the Universe quite like you!
Gratitude Power
- Begin and end each day thinking about what you are thankful for. Consider writing letters of gratitude to the people you love in your life. Let them know you think they are all kinds of alright. Share your Love!
Meditation
- Get centered by creating time for guided or silent meditation. As little as two minutes counting your breath daily will make a difference. Do it … No excuses.
Knowing
- Your life is more important than you know. You are the author of your life’s story. What kind of life do you want to create? Begin …
Consciously embrace each step and become aware of how much internal peace you can create. Peace begins within you and radiates out to everyone you encounter.
“If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there’d be peace.”
– John Lennon
