Inner Peace

 

"When you have a clear mind you have everything" Jacob Glass

2022 and Beyond New Year's Goal: Inner Peace

Chapter one of my self-published book is titled a Clear Mind, inspired by one of Jacob Glass' lectures, he's one of my favorite spiritual teachers. The premise of the chapter is that we can obtain a clear mind via having a calm mind AND a disciplined mind. In my opinion a calm mind is developed by a consistent (preferably a formal) meditation practice and a disciplined mind is developed through mind management i.e. training our unruly mind (thoughts/beliefs/perceptions). I would say a clear mind is equivalent to having true inner peace. The the end of 2019 marked inner peace as a genuine and common  feeling for me. Of course I have days and moments when I experience anything but inner peace but I can happily report most of the time I feel quite content...inside even if things on the outside are messy... it's a beautiful thing. However, it's been a very gradual process i.e. slow, very challenging at times and a work in progress for many, many years. In fact, the journey to Inner Peace is always a work in progress but these days it is easier and mostly joyful process.

Entering 2022, I am recommitting to my continued development of having a clear mind, particularly returning to being consistent about my morning ritual which includes waking up two hours before my start of work to have time for my meditation practice, exercise and my learning. Although I am blessed to be able to have grown in other ways and had very positive changes in my life as a result of the pandemic, I have not been able to maintain a consistent morning ritual for almost a year. It's been a few years since I have entered the New Year with this level of enthusiasm for my New Year resolution, it's great to have this feeling again. 

I look forward to 2022 and beyond and I especially look forward to continuing to help others to find Healing, obtain Inner Peace and Enjoy Life 💙

The Rubber Hits the Road

“Life's challenges can either make you or break you. Let them make you ". Billy Cox I wrote in a prior blog post that enjoying the journey of Life entails several things including, "...dealing with obstacles, struggles, challenges, losses and curve balls as they come but not letting them keep us down..."  Back in April of 2018, when I started my blog post and wrote those words, when I was getting my new business project Vida805 off the ground and was getting ready to self-publish my book, my Life changed drastically. That's an understatement, it was more like a major curve ball came my way. I was truly blindsided by Life's circumstances. I am not sure if I am ready to process all of what happened and how it has affected my life and the lives of so many other people. Not because I am not ready to disclose the details, I have been open about it (there was no way not to be) with family, friends and acquaintances but more so because I am still processing i...

The Most Important Years

"Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the Man"  Aristotle I have always known but mostly in a back-burner type of way that my life work, my true contribution to the world would someday revolve around teaching youth about the importance of sex education and family planning and as a result of having a healthy acceptance and understanding of these two very important practices, they would someday practice conscious parenting and as a result of that, the world would become a different place, a better place. As every child born into this world would be truly wanted, truly loved, cared for by its' parent or parents during the most important years of its' life, provided with all of the resources needed to nurture each child's true potential and natural tendency towards wholeness, love, brilliance, kindness and compassion. Of course at age 17 when I made this commitment I didn't know the term Conscious Parenting but I do remember saying to myself, ...

Myth of Normal

"The myth of normal in an insane culture" inspired by  Dr. Gabor Mate A couple years ago I was listening to one of Dr Gabor Mate's interview on Youtube and he was sharing about the book he was working on, finishing up. If I remember correctly, he said the book would be titled "The myth of normal in an insane culture" or something like that.  When he  explained the reasons for the title, I thought, "Man he really gets it and society (US) really is sick-insane in so many ways". Today that interview came back to mind as I thought about what to write about for this blog post given the shootings and deaths that have occurred in the USA in the past two weeks alone . Not to mention, the many shootings and resulting deaths and injuries that don't get any news coverage at all. I googled to see if Dr. Mate's book was out and it is. Maybe I misheard his title or maybe his publishers said you don't want to piss or offend people with that title, alludin...
