Finding Your Inner Self

Choose Peace: A Meditation for Calm in the Midst of Chaos

When anxiety rises or you feel triggered, know this: peace is never far. It lives within you—in the quiet rhythm of your breath, waiting to be remembered.

This meditation is an invitation to return home to yourself. To pause. To breathe. And in that breath, to rediscover the calm that lives beneath the noise.

Notice how the simple act of tuning into your breath softens the edges of your thoughts. How it soothes the heart and steadies the mind. In this sacred pause, you reclaim your power—not to control what’s happening around you, but to choose how you meet it.

Here, we remember that peace is a practice. A choice.
To respond rather than react.
To anchor into presence rather than be swept away.

Join me in this moment. Let’s return to the breath and choose peace—again and again.

Transcript

Let's tune into your breath.

Take this moment for yourself to unwind for a few moments,

To connect to your higher being,

Your inner source of guidance and wisdom.

As we sit with our eyes closed,

Become aware of any bodily sensations that might need softening.

Sitting up straight,

Find a comfortable position for you to sit in.

Refining your posture by lengthening upwards towards the crown of your head,

As if to extend your head to the sun.

Stay here for a moment and focus on your breath.

Let us start by connecting to our higher self that rests within us all.

This inner self knows what to do when we are presented with choices.

This inner self knows how to act from a sense of inner knowing.

This inner self is unshakable when storms come to disrupt our path.

Through meditation,

This inner light,

That which connects to our higher self,

Becomes stronger and stronger.

We begin to see that as we strengthen our ability to listen to our higher self,

Any storm that comes is met with acceptance by us,

Because we know deep down we are on the right path.

We know that we are doing what we are meant to do.

When we are living from the sense of knowing,

We are calm and know that there is a greater plan that is proceeding and flowing.

From this place,

We let go of trying to control what is not meant for us.

We let go of the things that hurt us,

For they do not serve us.

We can yield to the greater design knowing you are listening to your inner self.

You can transcend any circumstance to find joy in your everyday life.

Let us tap into the stillness within you as you slowly inhale and exhale.

See if you can,

With your eyes closed,

Try looking at the back of your eyelids by placing your attention just above the bridge of your nose and between your eyebrows.

Can you notice the flashes of light or golden light that are present in this space between?

This is the light that connects you to your higher being.

It is in this calm space that you will find yourself.

As we come to the close of this meditation practice,

Being grateful to be able to experience another day in our bodies.

From this place,

We can find gratitude and happiness in everyday life.

We are exactly where we are meant to be.
