Yes, Peace
Paula Whang-Ramos


"Carry the sweet fragrance of the soul’s peace everywhere you go today."
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian, CSE Daily Inspiration 04/17/2012



Regardless of our faith orientation or lack thereof, we are likely experiencing increased energy this time of year. We may be busy shopping, preparing to be with family, engaging in holy rituals, and/or just trying to navigate through all the increased activity. As we stand in longer lines and drive through more traffic, we have the opportunity to choose how we will respond in these situations. 

And we can choose peace. Yes, peace. We can remember that impatience, peace, stress, and joy are all choices we make throughout the day. When we intentionally choose inner peace, we stop feeding the holiday frenzy and open into the holy day flow. We can rest in the eternal inner silence that calms the mind/body in the Source of peace. And from that inner peace, we can experience our soul joy, gratitude, and love during this blessed and busy time of year. Join us at BLC. Meditate and reclaim your inner peace now.

“If anything disturbs your peace, practice having faith that divine grace is already actively at work restoring wholeness and well-being.

Then make any necessary adjustments in harmony with that insight.”
