an inner choice
Often we look at the outside world and find it in a state of seeming chaos or disorder.
We feel compelled to transform the situation from one of turmoil into one of peace, yet we are often disappointed in our best attempts to do so.
One reason for this is that we cannot bring to the world what we do not have to offer.
Peace starts in our own minds and hearts, not outside of ourselves, and until its roots are firmly entrenched in our own selves, we cannot manifest it externally.
Once we have found it within, we can share it with our family, our community, and the whole wide world.
Some of us may already be doing just that, but for most of us, the first step is looking within and honestly evaluating the state of our own relationship to peacefulness.
Interestingly, people who manifest peace internally are not different from us; they have chattering thoughts and troubled emotions like we all do.
The difference is that they do not lend their energy to them, so those thoughts and feelings can simply rise and fall like the waves of the ocean without disturbing the deeper waters of peacefulness within.
We all have this ability to choose how we distribute our energy, and practice enables us to grow increasingly more serene as we choose the vibration of peace over the vibration of conflict.
We begin to see our thoughts and feelings as tiny objects on the surface of our being that pose no threat to the deep interior stillness that is the source of peacefulness.
When we find that we are able to locate ourselves more and more in the deeper waters and less on the tumultuous surface of our being, we have discovered a lasting relationship with peace that will enable us to inspire peace beyond ourselves.
Until then, we help the world most by practicing the art of choosing peace within.''

Sawabona!!
- SAWABONA!!!
- Há uma "tribo" africana que tem um costume muito bonito.
- Quando alguém faz algo prejudicial e errado, eles levam a pessoa para o centro da aldeia, e toda a tribo vem e o rodeia. Durante dois dias, eles vão dizer ao homem todas ...as coisas boas que ele já fez.
- A tribo acredita que cada ser humano vem ao mundo como um ser bom. Cada um de nós desejando segurança, amor, paz, felicidade. Mas às vezes, na busca dessas coisas, as pessoas cometem erros.
A comunidade enxerga aqueles erros como um grito de socorro.
Eles se unem então para erguê-lo, para reconectá-lo com sua verdadeira natureza, para lembrá-lo quem ele realmente é, até que ele se lembre totalmente da verdade da qual ele tinha se desconectado temporariamente: "Eu sou bom".
Sawabona Shikoba!
SAWABONA, é um cumprimento usado na África do Sul e quer dizer:
"Eu te respeito, eu te valorizo. Você é importante pra mim"
Em resposta as pessoas dizem SHIKOBA,que é:
"Então, eu existo pra você"

valuable information
''When we feel pain, our first impulse is often to eradicate it with medication. This is an understandable response, but sometimes in our hurry to get rid of pain, we forget that it is the body’s way of letting us know that it needs our attention. A headache can inform us that we’re hungry or stressed just as a sore throat might be telling us that we need to rest our voice.
If we override these messages instead of respond to them, we risk worsening our condition. In addition, we create a feeling of disconnectedness between our minds and our bodies.
Physical pain is not the only kind of pain that lets us know our attention is needed.
Emotional pain provides us with valuable information about the state of our psyche, letting us know that we have been affected by something and that we would do well to focus our awareness inward.
Just as we tend to a cut on our arm by cleaning and bandaging it, we treat a broken heart by surrounding ourselves with love and support. In both cases, if we listen to our pain we will know what to do to heal ourselves.
It’s natural to want to resist pain, but once we understand that it is here to give us valuable information, we can relax a bit more, and take a moment to listen before we reach for medication.
Sometimes this is enough to noticeably reduce the pain, because its message has been heard. Perhaps we seek to medicate pain because we fear that if we don’t, it will never go away. It can be empowering to realize that, at least some of the time, it is just a matter of listening and responding.
The next time you feel pain, either physical or emotional, you might want to try listening to your own intuition about how to relieve your pain. Maybe taking a few deep breaths will put an end to that headache. Perhaps writing in your journal about hurt feelings will ease your heart.
Ultimately, the message of pain is all about healing. ''
