Episode 41 - Establishing Peace

In order for Peace to be, it must first be established in our consciousness. It is not something we can make happen by any external activity. When we establish Peace and Harmony in our consciousness, we are okay with life as it is AND we hold the power to calm its storms. Peace is the theme of the second week of Advent.

NOTES:

Peace -Free from strife; a tranquil state

Shalom (Hebrew) – inward sense of completeness or wholeness

Eirene (New Testament/Greek) - experience that comes from being in right relationship with God, tranquil state of the soul

Establish Peace in Consciousness

Acknowledge feelings and be honest and authentic
