Or perhaps, even, that peace suggests an absence of life \u2013 \u2018may you rest in peace\u2019 you say for those who have died.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">I suggest that peace is not an absence, but a presence. It is something positive that you can and do create, a state of harmony that you contribute to with your thoughts, your words, your actions, your feelings, your love, your light and your joy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">Peace is not a fixed thing, a single note. Rather, while it may be serenity \u2013 a moment of still joyfulness \u2013 it may equally be a time of laughter, playfulness or exuberance. It may be a time of intense and measured creativity or a time of relaxed free-flowing expansiveness. It is whatever brings you most deeply and perfectly into alignment with the flow of the Universe at that moment; whatever gives you the fullest expression of your Divine Essence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">Learn to observe and sense the energies about and within you at any moment and notice your ability to find and focus on those energies that most contribute to an overall experience of peacefulness. Recognise that all the time, in every moment of your life you are adding to or taking away from the peace of the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">But if you find you are detracting from the peace; that is, moving away from it in some way, be at peace with that! What you recognise and acknowledge you can more easily change. See yourself, perhaps, like a sailor who\u2019s been blown off course. Who knows what wonders you may discover? When you are ready, reset the compass, trim the sails and adjust the tiller, thankful for all you have learned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">In other words, know that you are an energy presence in a sea of oneness, that you make a difference to the oneness and the oneness is glad of the difference you make.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><span><span><br \/>\n<span><span> <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/peace\/Earth-From-Space-25139copyCopying2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><span><span><br \/>\n<span><span> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\"><b>Making Peace by Being Peace<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">\u2022 Pause and notice the feel of the space around you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">\u2022 Let your awareness expand outwards as far as you please, sensing more and more of the different qualities of energy that make up your world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">\u2022 Notice the many different kinds of feeling and the different qualities of energy that make up the being that you are.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">\u2022 Now sense or imagine yourself as a presence of light in a world of light.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">\u2022 Observe how your light interacts with this world of light.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"3\">\u2022 Notice how you can play with your light to enhance your own experience and to add to the beauty of the world.
