Where is peace and why don’t I have it?

Why does it seem as though peace is only around me at certain times?  And then when I need it the most it’s not there? Why is it that I might say I have mastered the subject of peace but find that when the concept  is ready to be applied-my mind goes blank? What happened then, did I really find peace? Did I understand it completely? What is the real issue? Within the last few weeks I’ve been asking myself exactly that.

I’ve talked with as well as observed people in order to better assimilate my study of peace. In summation what I gathered is that we don’t have sound peace because we have chosen not to welcome the present moment. We tell peace to go away with thoughts that say, “this particular situation is just not going to be peaceful,” or “ I have to handle it myself”.  Allowing the mind to speak like this is to basically say that you don’t need peace to come in. Peace will therefore allow the situation to unfold until you welcome her again.
After talking and observing people I began to wonder if what they said about not having peace at all times was true. I also began to see how in certain situations we shut peace out by saying that we “got it”.  As I began to seek me more clarity, in regards to peace, I was reminded about the insight that says peace dwells in an entire situation if you choose to see her.

Peace is like oxygen air it is present everywhere. Without oxygen we cannot survive. Lack of oxygen for more than a few seconds already begins to slow brain function and even lead to a coma. Peace is within all that the earth consists of. We hear peace in the stillness of the universe through the sound OM-.

Do this exercise with me, to experience what I’m talking about. Close your eyes take slow deep breathes. Take in the moment by hearing the sounds around you. Know that peace surrounds you. Then begin to chant the sound of the universe: “OM”, “OOOM”, “OOOOOOOOOOOM”. In between breathes continue to recite the sound OM. Do this again. Allow yourself several breaths. Allow yourself to feel and to be calm. Feel your organs and the rest of your body respond to the chant.

Continual practice of this will result in an inner sense of peace, where in front of adversity your entire being will begin to recite the sound of the universe OM- You will notice that the intensity of the situation or problem no longer overwhelms you. Your peace faculty has taken over! You have begun to welcome your freedom.

With peace,
Herlay Maitre

Amen. Peace is such an interesting subject for there is so much to say...yet you've given us the opportunity to put something into practice. I am reminded of the scripture where Jesus says, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" John 14:27
The true peace of God is the one we experience within as you have shared, not as the world gives, but as the true peace maker himself awakens in us...
