Be good to yourself. Make a deep commitment to leading a mindful life where you will regularly create everything your body/mind needs to maintain a natural sense of vitality within. This is the life force of your existence, also known as chi in Chinese philosophy and prana in India.

Eat well, commit to a variety of exercises you enjoy, and make sure you get enough sleep and downtime throughout each day. This is vital in order to shift from regularly experiencing moments of fatigue, frustration and impatience. Harnessing the “right” effort with “right” concentration ensures mindful liveliness and rebirth of your true beauty which was fully present in early years!

Concentrate more on what feels right deep within. If you have been obsessed with seeking ways to fix things to quell physical discomforts, shift in the moment to simply relax. Identify your emotions and allow them to drift by like weather that continuously changes. What is here in the moment shall pass by. Bring unconditional love and acceptance to the moment. Know that peace and greater ease is always available to you any time you are ready to receive it.

The body rides through ever-changing emotions, similar to going in and out of withdrawal from sugars, caffeine, alcohol, drugs and nicotine. Emotions are erupted by all these and more. If you are constantly stimulating your adrenaline and nervous system, it is now time to start a more easier path in life. Breaking free from outer stimulus allows you to feel more at ease and is surely one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself!

Maintain a peaceful body. Practice mindfulness in the moment to settle any discomforts you may have. Breathe deep and release mental chatter and tension within, then return to state of calmness and equanimity. Having a peaceful body greatly assists us in being able to focus and concentrate fully on what is happening in the moment and then mindfully decide what to do next.

Our body is like an antenna to soul and life energy. It is the portal to much more ease in life. Remember that life is not a marathon race that requires you to push self for reaching certain destinations. It is all about the journey.

Journey forth with a peaceful body every moment of the way! Feeling more at ease will be your new reality everyday!

Feeling more at ease during this challenging time in our world is a significant learning for every human on our planet. Greater ease is achieved when quiet joy is experienced within. It comes from choosing better while releasing old habits and impulses connected to externals. There are endless attractions and distractions in our world that compel us to continually reach out to externals for greater satisfaction and ease in life. Be aware of the difference between external impulses and mindful choosing in the moment.

Break free from patterns of running out to externals. Shift to a place of quietness within by staying put and choosing better in the moment. The next series of posts on this topic will provide essential tips for soothing and nourishing self from the inside out! Quiet joy within is the ultimate experience that frees us from draining energies in surroundings so that regardless of what is happening, feeling more at ease becomes our new reality!

Gratitude creates higher vibrations. By being grateful, positive energy is naturally increased while negativity dissolves. It is a powerful way to release limiting thoughts and behaviours to get to the bigger picture in life. Remember to always be thankful for all that you have in life and all that you can do. Also be aware that many others do not have what you have. This helps to maintain gratitude at a higher level and elevate positive vibrations even more. As a result, unconditional love, peace, joy and abundance will all become your new reality!

Great courage is needed to stay firmly committed on the path of releasing negativity and anger. Like giving up an addictive substance that has been a large part of life for way too long, fear of unknown risks might surface with feelings of emptiness and depression underneath all the changes. Having a good support network with positive friends and heart nourishing companions at your side is extremely beneficial to help you successfully walk the path! Therefore, real freedom is just one breath away!

Challenges are a normal part of the human journey. Change is also constant. In order to live life with ease and simply go with the flow, one must accept all challenges with an open heart. Trust that positive changes will happen when the time is right. Let go of negative thought patterns, judgement and expectations. Maintain an open mind throughout and focus on being generous with self and others. Holding this positive energy attracts more goodness in life. Send warm wishes and healing prayers to those who suffer.

Avoid negative influences and whatever dulls or deflates you. Mindfully stop exposing yourself to people and sources that trigger challenges within. It is normal and common for all humans to become susceptible to controlling forces, criticism or judgement. Hearing or seeing stories saturated with comparisons revealing all that is good /bad, right/wrong, wise/foolish can certainly draining. Focus on reducing time with media and choose wisely. Listen less to news, review less advertisements and anything that does not uplift you plus give you a sense of freedom and peace within!

Be aware of when the vortex of negative thoughts starts to circulate in your mind. Hold mindfulness in the moment and step into positive actions. You could shift your thinking by being grateful for all you currently have in life or recite positive mantras that free you from negativity such as “I am love” “I am peace” “I am kind”. Other options are singing a song, reciting a beautiful poem or verse, or even going out for a walk in nature and soaking in nourishing energies of environment you chose. By doing this, you will send a healing message to your nervous system and therefore reduce biochemical unbalances in body, elevating courage to move forward with greater confidence and faith!

External stimulus can sometimes contributes to energetic flow of negative thinking. Chronic interpretations of the world may reflect an inner sense of helplessness and despair. Observe when repetitive negative thinking about the world such as “The world is a mess.”, “I can never get anywhere.”, “He/she is no good.” These may have been learned in families where constant complaining and blaming churned through daily living together. Dissolve these barriers by mindfully choosing more positive stimuli from outer world such as adventures in nature or tuning into beautiful uplifting or soothing music that frees you from dark clouds of negative thoughts.
