Peaceful Release

As I receive more ideas to share, I look forward to releasing them.

Knowledge for release comes the same way the ideas do.

Through deep intuitive listening, I receive each next step.

This happens consistently in every aspect of my life.

I go beyond any opinion of the situation and listen deeply.

Whatever skill is required, whatever technology, whatever the connection, it is provided from Its Infinite Source.

I can always receive it as it appears in the most appropriate form.

All the examples around me are evidence of many ways to release ideas.

Whatever way is best is part of the package which comes with the ideas I receive.

I am connected to the best way, the same way I am connected to the ideas.

Whatever is necessary and good shows up.

I can be peaceful as I anticipate what is coming.

I am part of an immense thought-train of good which is releasing itself constantly.

All who are prepared to receive good ideas find themselves surrounded by them.

Through cultivating a listening stance, we are able to receive ideas.

Through cultivating a releasing stance, we are able to release them.

Learning how to use the tools of release makes it possible to share the wonderful ideas we receive.

I, too, am capable of learning how to use new tools.

Whatever I need is here, right in front of me, and I can use it.

I am listening to take the next step.

Sure Steps

I am always grateful when I receive the direction to take the next step.

It only comes when I am in a state of calm.

Then I know what the step is and when to take it.

I can have all the material ready to go and be impatient while I wait, but the step will not come.

I can decide what I want to do, but the step will not come.

When I release it entirely, and go do something else, there is room for the step to come.

In a state where I am not directing it, I free myself to receive the step.

It will have a different sense to it, even if it looks exactly like the step I had planned.

It will be freer and gentler and have a natural fit.

It will not have my opinion attached to it.

It will flow smoothly and not have to be forced.

It will have perfect timing.

This is what it feels like to be in tune with the Universe.

There is a much larger view and my step is one perfect tiny part of it.

My version would not be able to include this larger view.

Until I am ready for the larger view to embrace me and enfold my idea, the step will not appear.

When it does, I am sure of it, and it simply gets done in a very calm and natural way.

I am grateful to learn to listen for the calm and then to be ready to move.

Peace in a New Place

I am listening to songbirds and mourning doves outside my window.

After leaving the busy sounds of a major US city, this is a source of great peace.

Everything which needs to get done in this smaller setting is happening.

We do not feel rushed or hurried even as we are crossing busy streets.

Pedestrians are regarded as a priority.

We join the local practice of having a pastry with coffee or tea and enjoying a leisurely conversation.

People are understanding of our attempts in a new language and are helpful.

Even during a busy lunchtime, there is consideration of everyone who is being served.

Since we are staying in a working class neighborhood, people have to get back to work.

They are served soup, a main dish with sides, and it is cleared and they are served coffee.

Lunch takes one and one-half hours.

There is time to enjoy oneself during a lunchtime like this.

This is an aspect of peace and of living well even though lunch does not cost much and neither are there high salaries.

Young people on the busses give up their seats for older people.

Older people are escorted in and out of places of business.

People make an effort to help with my struggling attempts in a new language.

I feel at home in attitude and in pride of excellence in simple tasks.

It feels possible to live in a community full of respect for all citizens and visitors, alike.

Even in my small temporary space, I have room to indulge my creative capacities.

I am comforted and refreshed by the peace in this new place.

Finding Guidance

When I am in new circumstances, I am able to be peaceful even when I do not know what to do.

Through listening within, I am able to hear my intuition and feel my inner guidance.

As I take a step in the most promising direction, I connect with what is best for me at the time.

Even as I search for information beyond my present experience, I naturally move in the right direction.

I am able to correct my course as I go, in order to conform with the highest possible action at the time.

I love this way of finding or reestablishing my peace.

I step away from any confusion or pressure by becoming calm and listening within.

As I feel the calm spreading throughout my being, I am able to sense may next step.

This happens over and over again in tiny impulses until I am where I need to be in the most harmonious way possible.

I am able to release fear and to be safe as I continue taking my next steps.

I am peaceful and unafraid throughout my day.

I experience peaceful results as I continue to listen and receive guidance.

This is my evidence of success as I continue my habitual practice of inward listening.

I have a constant connection to whatever information I need.

I am able to receive direction, often from resources beyond my current knowledge.

I love the feeling of freedom and relaxation from being able to trust such a constant guide.

From the first inklings of intuition to making inner listening a constant practice, I am convinced that I can trust my life to it.

My decisions are harmonious and sure.

Even while exploring new circumstances and experiencing new situations, I am confident and happy through listening to my inner guidance.

Being Where I Am

My desire has led me to take on new adventures.

I love following through on a lifelong goal and finding it expansive beyond what I expected.

Because there is so much more to life which we do not see on the surface, new adventures bring deep experiences.

My excitement is turning to peace.

I see why I am here.

I am able to perceive a great and underlying peace in my new places and experiences.

It is as I had hoped.

New views are appearing in front of me every day.

Experiencing daily activities in terms of different values, expressed by architecture, conversation, art, daily walks, how food is served, shows me the same things, but from a different view.

The view is respect and dignity and consideration in the little, daily things.

There is intensity and busyness, but they are to serve real needs.

There is not the excess of corporate oversell.

People walk, everywhere they need to go.

Driving and public transportation is also widely available, but small neighborhoods which are defined by plazas, allow personable interactions.

It is such a relief to be able to relate to persons, not to corporations.

It is such a joy to interact in tiny, human-scale businesses.

Even in large establishments, there are people attending to the needs of the people who enter their doors.

Children are polite and people are unafraid, though aware.

Parents hold the hands of their children, even the older elementary age ones, as they walk on the streets.

Yes, they are keeping them close and protecting them, and yes, the children are willing to be held so.

There are racially and nationally defined neighborhoods, and they are also open to multi-racial and multi-national interactions.

There is not the subservient and raging racial fear which I have only experienced of late where I come from.

My adventure is giving me much more in awareness and appreciation and possibility than I ever expected.

Where Peace Flows

Peace which flows from within permeates my entire being.

People around me feel this peace and it calms the atmosphere around them.

The tendrils of this feeling of peace explore every nook and cranny and enter wherever there is space.

Certain places feel peaceful.

Botanical gardens express so much beauty and peace.

Wild natural areas beckon with their promise of perfect balance and unexpected beauty.

Beautiful relationships are peaceful when based on appreciation, consideration, respect and dignity.

Peace establishes itself through natural order.

Chaos is impossible within the influence of peace.

A nurturing instinct stills fear and brings peace and comfort.

Every breath, every endeavor aimed at peace gathers every harmonious element to bring it about.

A peaceful life has the power to surround itself with peace and to increase peace in the community.

Peace All Around Me in Madrid

I am surrounded by peace in this new place I am visiting.

I notice the absence of fear and tension.

The exchanges between customers and clients and workers sparkle.

Obviously, people come here regularly and are known to each other.

I do not sense competition or comparison.

There is camaraderie between well-known repeat customers and friends.

We are included by the second day.

Simple pleasures in simple daily interactions.

On the streets, we are noticeable tourists in our orange hunting season visibility hats.

Gradually, we figure out bus and subway routes.

We walk in a leisurely manner down the streets as we notice where to buy fresh fruits and where to do our laundry.

Everything is old world, small, and human-scaled.

Work flows at a busy, but inclusive, pace.

We are given no-nonsense directions, often volunteered.

There is no anger, no frustration as we observe interactions around us.

I see a kind of peace of living in a place where people are secure, all over the working class neighborhood where we are based.

This kind of peace is palpable.

My conclusion is that this kind of peace is doable, and works through an attitude of compassion, inclusion and equality.
