Hello and welcome folks!
I'm happy to see you all new and returning to
this series about finding Inner Peace.
Today will be the fifth part.
In the first session, we have talked about
the importance of focusing on the present moment.
Then, in the second session, we discussed
the importance of letting go of things we cannot
control, including my mass timer ^^;
After that, in the 3rd session, we talked really
really fast about the importance of keeping
things simple, so we don't overthink too much!
Last week, we also talked about how our thoughts do not
define who we are. Let them come, let them go, keep our
minds clear.
And now for the number five:
Practice Mindfulness.
Anchor yourself in your breath in
a world that moves faster every day. Our minds can
often feel like they're racing, overwhelmed with
thoughts, worries and distractions. The mind jumps from
one thought to the next, creating an endless cycle of
overthinking and stress, but there's a simple yet
profound practice that can help us break this
cycle and find peace.
Mindfulness.
Mindfulness is the art of being fully present, paying
attention to the moment, without judgment. It's about
observing our thoughts, emotions and physical
sensations without getting swept away by them. It's not
about controlling or forcing the mind to be quiet, but
rather allowing ourselves to be aware of what's
happening right now, without attachment, without trying
to change it. One of the most effective ways to
practice mindfulness is by focusing on your breath.
When you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders
or when your thoughts start spiraling, simply return
to your breath. Take a deep breath in, hold for a
moment and then exhale slowly. Each breath is an
anchor, drawing you back into the present moment.
When the mind is calm, the breath is calm. This
beautiful teaching reminds us of the deep
connection between our mind and our breath.
When we consciously focus on the rhythm of our breath,
we can calm the storm within our minds. The breath
becomes a gentle anchor, stopping the cycle of
overthinking and returning us to a place of Stillness.
Think about it: the mind is everything, everything
that you think, you become. Our thoughts shape our
reality when we are constantly consumed by chaotic
uncontrollable thoughts, we lose our peace and our
Clarity but when we practice mindfulness and focus on
our breath, we train our mind to be calm and focused,
free from the grip of overthinking. it's like a river.
Imagine that your thoughts are like leaves floating on
the water, constantly drifting by. If you try to grab
every leaf, the water only becomes more turbulent,
but if you simply let them flow by, without attachment,
the river remains peaceful and so does your mind.
The more you practice mindfulness, the more you train
your mind to return to the present moment to anchor
itself in the peace that is always available to us.
With each mindful, full breath, you regain control
over your thoughts and you begin to experience the
freedom of living fully in the here and now.
So the next time you feel overwhelmed, remember:
anchor yourself in your breath. Let each inhale
and exhale guide you back to the present moment. By
practicing mindfulness, you will gradually find that
overthinking loses its power over you and a sense of
calm and clarity begins to fill your mind.
This concludes today's lesson in finding one's
Inner Peace, which was the fifth part in the series.
I will see you again in a few days for the sixth part.
Next one will be the last sermon in this Inner Peace
series!
May Cail guide us to balance in both body and
mind, brothers and sisters.
Let us praise Him together!
