The Practice of Peace

"We asked how to be peacefuland this is the answer we were given!"

When you put a flower on your table or altar you open up different realms. Flowers often act as portals between dimensions. Their beauty and the intense life force that they carry, the potential of a seed is much like the beauty you see in a pregnant woman. Having a flower on your table or altar and allowing yourself to vibrate with its energy is one of the best ways to begin and end the day.

It does not require worry about how to be with the flower. It just requires sitting quietly, stilling your mind and concentrating on your breath. Sit, in this way, breathing with the flower quietly for a small amount of time, twenty minutes, half an hour, maybe ten minutes. You must struggle to incorporate this practice into your daily schedule so that your actual physical body gets used to yearning for the peace that the practice brings.

Your spiritual practice will soon be taking place every second of every day, without thought.
