Inner Peace Meditation

Exercises for Peace and Spiritual Attunement

by Nancy Wagaman, M.A.

To achieve greater inner peace, and thus make more "room" within yourself for connection with Spirit - try the following affirmation and meditation.

Affirmation for Inner Peace

Repeat the following affirmation 5 to 10 times when you wake up in the morning, before you go to bed at night, and several times throughout the day:

"I am gracefully accepting Spirit's healing and support, and I am welcoming the abundant joy and peace available to me in every moment."

Meditation for Inner Peace

Meditate on the quality of "peace" once or twice a day:

1. Sit in a quite place where you won't be interrupted. Turn off the TV, phones, and any other distractions.
2. Close your eyes and ask for Spirit's presence and healing.
3. Visualize a peaceful white light filling you up and spilling out in the area surrounding your body and out about 8 feet around you. Take 3 deep breaths, visualizing the white light becoming stronger with each breath.
4. Then, for about 5 minutes, focus on "peace." During this time, just sit back and observe whatever thoughts and images come into your mind. As they come into your mind, let them float in and then float out. Don't try to control or change what you're thinking about - any thoughts are okay.
5. Afterwards, reflect on what came forward in your mind, and what significance your thoughts might have for how you can create an experience of greater peace.

As you find yourself choosing towards peace more often, and creating "pockets" of time when you can bring yourself into peace despite whatever has been going on for you, you will likely find that the things that have been "covering up" your inner peace will naturally start to be resolved and you will experience more and more peace in your daily life.
