Learning to downregulate your nervous system, heal chronic reactivity, find inner peace and equanimity isn’t something you do for others. Although others also benefit when you do, its not done to make others more comfortable with your pain. It’s something you get to do for you.
Often people mistake being at peace with people pleasing, making concessions, suppressing ones feelings in order to appease, pacify or to appear non-threatening.
This has nothing to do with inner peace. And everything to do with masquerading as peace while being at war within.
Inner peace for me means when I turn within myself it feels like a sanctuary, a sacred space, somewhere beautiful to rest, a place for rejuvenation and restoration, a place where I remember who I am and am reminded all that I am capable of. A place I can come back to at any time.
Regardless of what is happening out in the world or with anyone else, the place where I am coming from is a place that is my own inner paradise. It’s available to me any time because I have cultivated it within. And all of my greatest power comes from this place.
When life throws me off balance and off my center, I always have a place to return to, to remember who I am. This place is also where I hear the voice of my intuition the clearest and where I can receive guidance and instructions from my ancestors, angels and guides.
