What happens when you achieve inner peace?
People surrounding you affect your mood, way of thinking, feelings, and behavior. Seeker on the path towards achieving inner peace avoids toxic people and surrounds himself with great people. He let go of the victim mentality and accepted his responsibility. Seekers with inner peace seek everlasting joy in simple things. They stop chasing momentary pleasures.

Instead of impressing people, the seeker who is seeking inner peace pursues perfection. While doing so, they accept that they are going to fail and make mistakes on the way. Achieving inner peace shatters the grudges you hold for decades.

Cultivating inner peace
Modern life, powered by intelligent technology, takes a heavy toll on us. Even though technology has brought us together, we are always on the ‘On’ mode to respond, ask, speak, and express ourselves, often unnecessarily. We are anxious, stressed, worried, and confused. We are constantly searching for a secluded space, looking for some amount of peace, and spirituality provides that much-needed shelter to us. Through various techniques, one can find the true path towards inner peace.

1. Digital Detox: It’s a fact that social media enhances anxiety, unhealthy comparison, unnecessary feuds, unhappiness, and makes us self-centered individuals. While browsing through the photos of your friends having the time of their life on a vacation, you never realize that absolutely no one posts their worst moments on social media.

Everyone posts their best moments on social platforms, and even those are often scripted. If you spend too much time on social media, you must be very careful, as social media can disrupt whatever inner peace you had in you. Having some time from social media is very nurturing for your life satisfaction, self-confidence, and inner peace.

2. Self-acceptance, self-confidence, and self-love: rule of thumb is that the harsh world seems reasonable when you love yourself. Self-hatred is a significant thing that hampers our inner peace. Doing what makes you happy lifts your spirit and gives you a much-needed booster dose of self-satisfaction.

Exercise is an excellent way to self-love. A great workout not just releases happy hormones like endorphins but also makes you feel good about yourself. With physical exercise and hobbies, you just feel good about yourself. And feeling good is the first step towards inner peace.

Solar Plexus Chakra is responsible when it comes to self-acceptance, self-love, and self-confidence. This Chakra plays a significant role in our life, even before birth. ‘Ram Namah’ is the Mantra for activating, balancing, and cleansing the Solar Plexus Chakra. Next time, when you sit for meditation, try the above powerful Mantra to bring in much-needed self-love.

3. Removing negativity: It’s human nature to dwell on negative thoughts, dreams, incidences, and habits. But negativity in life is the easiest way to destroy your inner peace. So, instead of concentrating on negative things in our lives, we begin to get our inner peace back when we look at the positive sides.

Simple Tantric solutions, like lighting a Ghee (clarified butter) lamp, can attract positivity in your surroundings. Lighting an oil lamp repels negativity surrounding you. Keeping alum in the corner of the house and disposing of it after a couple of days effectively removes the negative thoughts.

4. Meditation: It is said that a human being has 6200 thoughts per day. Few are positive, constructive, and helpful, but the rest are harmful, dark, useless, and self-doubting. Meditation is evident among all to bring back and enhance the inner peace within us. It’s about pausing all the thoughts for some time and giving our overworking brain a well-deserved break.

Vipashyana is a meditation method, concentrating on the delicate balance between mind, body, and soul. You turn on the mode of self-observation from a third perspective after you practice the Vipashyana long enough. It makes us aware of our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and reactions. Putting it all together, meditation accompanies you on a path, leading towards inner peace.
