Autumn in Sedona  11.17.13

Peace on the InsideA few weeks ago I took a little road trip to Sedona, Arizona.  It was so peaceful and quiet as I hiked along the West Fork. Everything was so quiet. My mind was so quiet. How do we find this peace on the inside? It is so easy to go to that inner peace place when we put ourselves in a quiet nature spot but what about those busy days when we run from appointment to appointment with no peace at all??

I recently took up mindfulness meditation. It was challenging to prioritize it on a daily basis at first but I kept following a daily practice until now I feel a void on those days that I don’t practice meditation.

What inspired me to persist with developing a regular practice is when I thought about the enlightened masters such as Buddha and Kwan-Yin; they meditated and look where it lead them…..that is when I could see the value of investing in a mindfulness meditation practice for myself.

I wonder what doors will open for me now that my stress is less and my mind is more peaceful…  It was through my integrative coaches training that I learned the value of this practice but it was through personal exploration that I experienced the value of meditation.
