A Dialogue With Inner Peace

A worthy objective in life is the achievement of inner peace, of harmony with one's inner world and inner wisdom. 

Imagine peace, inner peace, as a person and a guide. Enter a state of deep relaxation. Take four deep breaths, exhaling gradually. Imagine a room, a comfortable room with a big window overlooking a scene that you find relaxing and peaceful. Enter the room and sit down opposite the entity that represents inner peace. Ask it for guidance. 

What am I doing that I shouldn’t be if my overriding objective is inner peace and living in harmony with my inner wisdom? What am I not doing that I should be? Are there any questions that I’m avoiding that I need to pay attention to? What sacrifices do I need to make? What efforts do I need to extend? What do I need to cut out?

Write down the answers you get back.
