To know peace is to be at peace, for peace is a state of being.
Until you know your self as peace you will not experience your self as peace. Your experience of comes from your knowing, and your knowing comes from your being. Therefore, to know peace is to be peace.
For you to know peace within, when met with the emotions of another, you begin by being at peace with who and what you are.
One who is not at peace within believes they have to appease the other, make all right in the others way, that the role of a peacemaker is to be loving giving sharing and so bring into being an atmosphere of peace.
One who knows peace offers this to another as their way, not to appease but because that is who they know their self to be, they do unto another as they would another do unto them.
To know peace within begin through believing that it is not only your right to know this but it is your soul desire and purpose to know this.
When met with a way that disrupts yours know you have drawn to you this opportunity to experience what you desire to know and be, that this is not being imposed upon you, therefore you are in control of the outcome.
Pause, then with a slow inspiration, an indrawn breath, breathe in peace, pause again, and then as you softly exhale release all tension, let free the muscles that hold you tight, release your shoulders that they carry not a burden but a blessing, for all is in your thought about it.
Relax, release, let go, let God, let the God within, your soul, express itself through the manifestation of the power that is you, love.
This may seem a tall order when met with disharmony; the strength of another's opinions or way may seem overwhelming, but all is as you perceive it, all.
Breathe in love, breathe out all negative emotion, take back your right to be as you will it. Be.
Choose to be peace, withhold that cutting retort, the need to be heard, the need to express, step back and be, you will then know that you have the power to act for you, the power to choose your direction.
When you permit another the power to direct you your way becomes one of reaction, for you create through past experiences, set in place past responses and so the cycle continues.
To keep your cool when those around you are losing theirs is to know that you do not have to accept, their way, their choices, as your way.
You can offer another your understanding but their way is their creation, as is yours, as such you have the power to show peace through your way but they must desire to know peace if they are to let go and be.
Your awareness that there is another way to be when met with disharmony is your desire to grow in understanding.
Be peace in thought word and deed, you will then know peace in your reality, thus you will experience your way and know it to be.
Accept the others right to think, feel, do, be, as they will it, but free your self from the thought that your role is to please them, appease them.
When you are at peace with who you are you will be peace, and so know peace, thus you will experience your self as peace, it will be your truth.
