Hello and welcome.
This is Susita.
In this session we are going to explore and realize that peace is the substratum of all experiences and peace is your natural state and peace is here now.
There is absolutely no need to seek peace.
We only have to recognize peace,
Value peace which is here now.
Look at any object in front of you without any labels or judgments.
Let your awareness flow to the object and notice the space around the object.
Also notice the space which is connecting you to the object,
The space of awareness.
Your focus is on the space.
You're giving space,
Love,
Care and attention.
What happens when you become aware of space?
Do you notice that you relax,
You feel calmer?
Can you also notice that when you're aware of space,
You also are aware of the peace?
And you have recognized that peace is here now.
By simply moving your awareness away from thoughts to the space that is here now.
Now close your eyes,
Move your awareness to your breath and notice the stillness between the in and out breath,
The gap between the in and out breath,
The emptiness between the in and out breath,
The space between the in and out breath.
What happens when you're aware of the gap between the in and out breath?
What happens when you give love,
Care and attention to this gap between the in and out breath?
What happens when you value this stillness between the in and out breath?
Be still and know God.
By being aware of this stillness,
By valuing it,
You're recognizing God's presence.
You've turned away from the world,
From the world of matter to the realm of the divine.
By simply moving your awareness and attention from thoughts and the experience of the world to the stillness within.
Notice that this gap between the in and out breath is very very peaceful.
You are recognizing the divine peace that permeates all experiences and it is here now.
Now place your hand at the center of your chest.
Feel the space between the hand and the chest.
How does it feel to be aware of the space between the hand and the chest?
Now recognize that,
That space is not actually confined only between the hand and the chest.
It is there in all directions without any boundaries.
This is your spiritual body,
A body of spirit,
The formless self,
The divine self which is not of matter.
Feel the space.
Feel the space.
You have a form identity which you're very familiar with and you have a formless identity.
So whenever you close your eyes and feel space like this,
You are in your divine formless identity.
Notice that you feel very calm and peaceful.
Even if thoughts arise,
It has no impact on this spacious being that you are.
You simply bring awareness back to the space,
The emptiness,
The silence.
You're giving the space of your own being,
Love,
Care,
And attention.
Can you notice the peace here now?
Your spiritual self is peace itself.
Be aware of the peace.
Be aware of the space.
Be aware of the space.
Be aware of the space.
Be aware of the emptiness which is full of presence,
Full of life.
Be aware of the peace here and now.
Be aware of the space.
Be aware of the space.
Recognize the space.
Value the space.
Be grateful for the space.
A life flows from two streams,
The divine stream and the ego stream.
It all depends on where are we placing our value and awareness.
If we place value and awareness on the thoughts and the beliefs and the emotions,
We experience the world of duality with ups and downs,
Good and bad,
Pleasure and pain.
But if we move our awareness to the divine stream,
We experience unconditional love and peace.
And this is a moment by moment choice.
The more you choose space,
Emptiness,
Peace,
Silence,
Your life flows more from the divine stream.
It is a choice.
You either believe in thoughts or you place your awareness on these divine qualities.
This choice has to be done many many times.
And as you recognize this peace within,
This peace will permeate your life experiences.
It will permeate your relationships.
It will permeate your work and bless every aspect of your life.
So dear friends,
Please value this peace.
Please value the space,
The emptiness,
The stillness.
These are your divine qualities.
The more you embrace these qualities,
The more these qualities will embrace you.
And we are no longer waiting for people to change,
Circumstances to change.
We realize peace begins with me.
Peace begins with me.
Peace begins with you.
Peace begins with me.
Peace begins with me.
We are no longer waiting for people to change.
We realize peace begins with me.
Once again,
Noticing that piece is here right now.
Thank you and I wish you love and many blessings.
