Creating Inner Peace now
When we create worries – be they big or small – we create anxiety that can affect every organ in our body. When we get angry and let the feeling of anger accumulate in our cells, it can create illnesses that affect our blood, our liver and our heart. Symptoms in both cases may include headaches, raised cholesterol levels, high blood pressure or arthritis. It never ceases to amaze me how many people do not make the connection between their negative thoughts – fears, worries, anxieties, guilt etc - and their health. Once they do make that connection, the scales fall from their eyes, and they realise that happy, contented and peaceful people tend to be healthier people!
Inner peace is achievable by everyone, and is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves. Inner peace may be peace of mind, or the peace felt in our hearts that gives us a happy, tingling feeling of well-being.
We all have a certain amount of drama or chaos in our lives, but it is important to make a conscious decision to declare peace in the midst of chaos. We must first choose our thoughts carefully. Inner peace begins with our own inner dialogue of thoughts. When we choose peaceful thoughts, we then become more connected with like-minded, peaceful thinking people.
We all want a healthy, peaceful body, but it's something we have to work at on a daily basis. Our fears, worries and anxieties dissolve our inner peace and calm, and allow our illnesses to escalate. And then, when we dwell on our illnesses and disease, we simply get more of what we don't want. This is the universal law of "like attracts like." Fears create more fears. But thoughts of inner peace create more inner peace, and change the habitual subconscious cells over time, making them healthier and stronger. So make a conscious decision now and believe – truly believe! – that inner peace in every cell is possible. Start today and tell yourself "Inner peace begins with me and with my thoughts of inner peace." When inner peace is our priority, true happiness is within us all. No money can buy this happiness: only inner peace can create more of the contentment that we call desire.

The news that the Yes side in favour of the Fiscal Referendum have seized the momentum with the majority of Irish voters is just an indication of how the debate over this issue is beginning to shape up. That Declan Ganly has weighed in on the side of the No vote also shows that there is still a lot to play for until the Irish electorate give the final decision later on this month. The Government parties as well as the main opposition party, Fianna Fail, are in favour of the Yes vote but so far little has reall …
