The crisis
caught us all… but, has it got into our minds too?
Wise words from
something I’ve heard many years ago: you
may get sick in your body, but don’t let the sickness reaches you into your
mind. The same applies to the uncertainty we are living.
Our minds
are fragile in a sense, as it comes very easily under the influence of the
circumstances. If the situations are peaceful, so will the mind; if the
environment where you are is hostile, then the mind will suffer for it.
However, by
detaching your mind from the circumstances it is possible to experience peace
even though the situations themselves are not peaceful. And by experiencing
peace within, it isn’t impossible to be able to affect the external
environment.
It requires
some (lots of) self-control and a
certain level of discipline to prevent mind to be influenced by whatever is
happening around.
Meditation is
one of the ways that enable the individual to experience peace, no matter what
is going on around them. Just try it:
Sit down with no other reason but to experience a few moments of meditation…Let yourself feel your thoughts decreasing in quantity and speed… gradually, going from a storm to a rain and then to a few drops…Let yourself feel instead of thinking words… just feel your own peace… there, inside you…It is peace… a sensation of calmness and tranquility… a feeling of satisfaction and the absence of worries… a creative energy that subtly fills the being…It is peace… like a shield that protects you and your environment…It is peace…
When you
meditate for some time in a regular basis, naturally you will start to feel the
benefit of being peaceful, you will see changes in the scenario of your life
and you will be able to change deeply.
You may not
prevent the crisis to take place, but it won’t enter inside you.
