What does it mean to have inner peace?

Answer 1

Answer

Inner peace can only be achieved when we let go of anger, disappointments and regrets - all our negativity. All the while we harbor negative thoughts we let our gremlins chat away in our heads about how hard done by we are and how bad stuff only ever happens to us.

When you let go of the bad feelings, forgiving others and yourself in order to do so you overcome those negative voices and are able to concentrate on the good things in life - this is the road to Inner Peace but you have to work at it because it is always under construction.

Answer

Some find it through religion. Others seek inner peace through other means, i.e. yoga, meditation, etc. My personal opinion -- make peace with your past and then find your soul mate.

Answer

A Christian can have inner peace because God's Holy Spirit dwells in us, and The Bible says we can have the "peace that passes all understanding".

Answer

As long as you are pre-occupied with worry and stress you will not find peace. Many people think that you need to achieve wealth or fame to become happy but this is not true. Happiness and peace is what you can feel right now, if you can be content with what you have right now. If you can't be content with what you have now, you will never be content with what you aim to have.

Here is my advice to find inner peace. Don't spend time thinking about fond memories in the past that you can't get back (for example childhood). Don't spend time worrying about future possibilities that are unpleasant - they are unlikely too. Do keep positive future plans in mind but do not stress how they will come about just be silently confident they are possible. Peace is about mindfulness, and about living in the right here and now. It is about appreciating what is around you in the present. Listen to what the people in your life have to say without giving advice or judging.

Answer

Look within yourself, you cannot find it outside yourself. Find your innate goodness.

Answer

"How does anyone find inner peace?"

I am who I am. I am not you, and you are not me.

My life journey has taken me across hillsides, caves and jungles. Whereas yours may take you along the ocean shore. I am me, as you are you. I not to be compared to you and you are not to be compared to me. God has designed me as he has designed you to be who he means for you and I to be. He alone is our author. Release all toxic gases from your mind, spirit, heart, body and soul. Breathe...

THE SERENITY PRAYER

God, grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change COURAGE to change the things I can and WISDOM to know the difference.

John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: my peace is different than what the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled nor be afraid."

Until one has found THE PRINCE OF PEACE they will never truly HAVE PEACE inside. When you are at PEACE with GOD then you will be a peace with self and others.

Answer

Your thoughts set up the model of what is to be created, and your emotions energize your thoughts and propel them from your inner would to your outer world. The stronger your emotions are, the more rapidly you create what you are thinking about. Your intent acts to direct your thoughts and emotions, maintaining a steady focus on what you want you will create what you get.

I believe that you can find inner peace by being true to yourself and telling someone about something if it's bothering you and Scientology has helped me to be more peaceful.

Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Answer

1) Use your imagination:

• Imagine there is no past, only memories created by your mind
• Imagine the future is only a dream, related to your memories
• Imagine everything you see and experience is a movie created by your mind

2) Use your dreams

• When you are dreaming everything seems real but nothing can actually affect you
• Remember when you are dreaming everything you experience is happening in you, by you and not to you
  
• Apply this knowledge to your waking life

3) Use your breathing

• Chant using your breath by pursing your lips and exhaling slowly while thinking along with your exhalation "Peace", next breath "Blessings", next breath "Joy" repeat as long as possible

4) Release all anger and fear

• While you may be quite conditioned to experience these emotions they are completely optional and entirely created by you
• Consider that over time they lose their importance, why force your self to experience so much time to heal
  

5) Accept the perfection that is

• This is all there is

Opinion

Avoid falling into the trap of thinking " If this is all there is, why should it matter what we do or think? If this is all there is why do we need inner peace when we're going to die anyway? and if this is all there is and we know we're going to die eventually, then why not commit suicide now and get it over with?" That sort of thinking can lead to a very wrong path. Don't think you control everything, and therefore you can do whatever you want. If you take that to an extreme, than a terrorist could say that since none of this is really happening, then I can kill a bunch of innocent people and not worry about it, because nothing is really happening to me.

Answer

Isaiah 26:3 tells us "Those who keep their minds and hearts focused on me will have peace."It is when we take our eye off God that we don't have peace. We look at all the things going on in the world and everything seems to be falling apart, which it is. But if we are Christians then the source of our peace is not here. It is inside of us in the person of the Holy Spirit (the third part of the Trinity) who guides and comforts us. This is difficult for non-Christians to understand and only begins to make sense after accepting Jesus as Saviour. Nothing fits the void in your life until god is there by your choice. It is the same with peace - when people don't want what God has for them, then they look elsewhere.

Answer

Listen to God and the Bible because people definitely can be deceived because they aren't perfect.

Answer

You ever notice a feeling inside, like a hole that you can't quite fill up? You buy cool stuff, a nice car, house, etc., you get a good job, wife, kids...Yet, the feeling persists; like there just has to be more. One more thing and you'll finally be done. Fulfilled. But it never seems to happen, so you pay attention to that hole, you try to figure out what would fill it, but nothing is BIG enough. The idea just sort of torments you, the hole giving you this feeling of discontent, disquiet.

It's a God shaped hole that only He can fill. Once you start a relationship with Him through Christ, the hole is now full, overflowing even. This huge hole, that nothing previously was even close to filling is now overflowing with the love for Him and the love He has for you. Joy overtakes you, fills you up, and you truly know inner Peace through him.

No other religion talks about Joy. It's always happiness, a fleeting thing in this life. But Joy, its a feeling brought about by giving your life up for God, devoting yourself to Him through His Son. You can't describe it, but you feel it no matter the situation. You feel Joy in living a life that points back to God, gives glory to his name.

Joy and inner Peace can only truly be found through God, because he's the only one who can stop the turmoil in our souls.

BIBLE ANSWER

Jesus encourged all to " Come to me, all YOU who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh YOU. Take my yoke upon YOU and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and YOU will find refreshment for YOUR souls." Today there are so many destressing problems that diffently takes away our inner peace.

The bible shows that Jesus Christ is guiding spiritually hungry people along the way that leads to everlasting life in an earthly paradise. As he guides them to the pure worship of God, they experience inner peace similar to that described in the Bible: "My people must dwell in a peaceful abiding place and in residences of full confidence and in undisturbed resting-places." (Isaiah 32:18) This is only a foretaste of the peace that they will enjoy in the future. We read: "The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." Psalm 37:11, 29. The bible says in the near future, God will bless obedient mankind with inner peace as never before. He stretches out his hand and grants inner peace to all who seek it in sincerity of heart. We are lovingly assured: "Jehovah is near to all those calling upon him, to all those who call upon him in trueness. The desire of those fearing him he will perform, and their cry for help he will hear, and he will save them."-Psalm 145:18, 19.

Answer 2

Through meditation which gives us the chance to listen to our soul.

THE SOUL WITHIN

The world as I know it, is based on what I 've heard and what I've seen,

My family and I unknowingly have developed a theme.

The self-destruction, ignoring the repercussions, its all that I know

But somehow, someway I must let it go.

Sometimes I can feel myself falling, but I can't control the pace.

My fears my doubts, all the insecurities will appear for me to face.

Thinking I was passed this, but knowing I was wrong,

It's as if I keep wanting to play my favorite sad love song.

It happen so fast, I feel as though I'm loosing my mind

I need to surrender and just give it some time.

While I sit in the forest and I'm face with just my fears,

I don't want to stay, but I know I need to be here.

I feel frighten and scared, I am cold and alone,

I'm left with nothing, but these thoughts I call my own.

Once this journey has come to an end,

I hope to have heard, what my soul yearns from within.

While I dance in the wind, in this place I now call my home,

Acceptance and tolerance will keep me from being alone.

Accepting, who I am and tolerating who I can be

I' am now starting to experience what is known as true harmony.

Trusting in myself all of my thoughts are now clear.

As I reach into my soul, I am able to listen to what I hear.

My body swing into motion, my heart never skips a beat.

At last I have arrived I know feel complete.

The universe I live within I' am surrounded by positive energy,

the things that I want most in life will only come from synergy.

As I look back into the forest, where I have left all my fears behind.

There is nothing more satisfying then have peace of mind.

Letting what is…is, letting what will be…be

And of course, allowing myself to listen to the soul that lives within me.

Now when I look into the mirror, it's just not myself that I see

It's a reflection of love towards everyone around me.

Then how wonderful you are, and I have remembered that I am too!

There is nothing in this world we are unable to do.

As we left up the shield, from all of the negative energy

We can allow God to intervene, who is love,

And Love is Reality.

Answer 3

This question has been asked by countless number of people for ages and ages. Various seers, sages, profits, Gurus whatever you want to call them have been sent down to give us the answer. However the nature of weak man who have given into there vices have used the messages of these great beings to take advantage and control the masses. Whatever faith you may be it is clear that internal peace lies in internal contemplation. It is much easier to achieve worldly goals than it is to achieve internal spiritual goals. The method is not hard however the discipline and character it takes is. I suggest you try to find this answer from whatever faith you profess. See if there are texts which teach you how to meditate and go deep within. It is a very deep question and cannot be answered in a mere paragraph. If you would like to know more from me please feel free to contact me. Thank you and God bless.
