It’s time for our 1-23-26 Peace and Gratitude Practice, Financial Freedom Affirmations and Visualization =)
Today we practice saying Thank You for a minute and do the Peace practice from the Venerable Buddhist Monks who are walking for Peace from Ft. Worth Texas to Washington DC. They are on Day 90 of their walk and they speak in every town they eat and stay overnight in. #walkforpeace
I’ve been watching their talks and I’m practicing what the actions to take to create peace of mind. First, everyday in the morning write “Today is going to be my peaceful day.”
Then read the sentence a few times in your head, and then say it out loud. Decide for yourself that today is going to be your peaceful day. Then no one can take that away from you. No matter what anyone else does or says, if we don’t take it in, then it isn’t ours.
Then we practice the breathing exercise. Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Count “1” when you breathe in and count “1” when you breathe out. Then count “2” when you breathe in and count “2” when you breathe out. Keep doing this until you get to “5”. Then start over and go the “6”, then start over and go to “7” and so on until you get to “10”.
If you get distracted while breathing, start over and breathe again from “1” to “5”.
When thoughts come up to distract us from our breathing, just say “thought, thought” and then return to our breathing. We acknowledge the thought but we then leave it alone. The same is true for feelings. If you feel numb, or tired or pain – acknowledge the feeling by saying “feeling, feeling”, and then go back to your breathing.
The Venerable Monk suggests we practice this everyday. We can do it for 1 minute out of every hour that we are working. He also suggests we do this for 1 hour before we go to bed at night.
Do it without your cell phone so that you don’t get distracted.
The Venerable Monk suggests doing only one thing at a time, since the mind can only focus on one thing at a time. He says to put away our cell phones when we are studying, cooking and doing other things.
After doing our Peace Practice, we did our Financial Freedom affirmations and visualization.
