Let’s not talk about peace. Let’s experience it. Right where you are, give yourself permission for a greater attunement to the peace that’s present in you. Ask your consciousness how you would be more aware of this peace.

Through grace we ask for a greater demonstration. Find it as an energy, maybe in some kind of sensation. Let’s find it in the breath, that there is a radiation of Light. And as you allow yourself more permission, this Light comes into your body.

Let’s consider your body as a temple of peace so all who come into your presence experience the radiation of peace. You can experience this as receptivity as you breathe in, and you give your peace as you breathe out. If you find there are sensations in the body –- whatever they are, it could be a twitch, an itch, it could be something that is in some way bothering you, a pain, a pressure –- you are the consciousness that brings peace.

And whatever is that sensation for you, this radiation of peace embraces like you would your beloved. You hold with patience that continues no matter what. You receive completely. So whatever this is that would be a disturbance, a pain, or any form of irritation, dissolves in your embrace.

This peace makes no demands. It comes in harmony and finds serenity. It stands as a quiet presence and listens.

Fill yourself up with listening.

And if you find yourself distracted, embrace the distraction, comfort the distraction, give it a place of rest with you. Whatever energy you find in yourself or around yourself, you give freedom, you allow, you let whatever form comes into your presence be what it is.

Now in your vision you can see Light–Light that is brightening, Light that is flowing and expanding, Light that is penetrating, soothing, Light that is dissolving whatever needs to let go.

In this Light there is a presence–a presence that is peaceful, that can even come in a personal way. You may feel this as a touch like hands or an energy upon your head. And you find a sense of protection. So whatever has been your concern, your worry, your fear, is embraced by this presence of peace.

And in the places where you’ve held on, attached, contracted, shut off so there is darkness, this Light comes at your invitation. So invite, permit, allow the healing. Some of you can experience this right into the cell level –- that your brain is being massaged by this Light, tissues are being illuminated by this Light.

Now there’s another quality of peace that lifts and is lifting. Let’s take this Light into what you’re involved in in the world–where you work, where you live, what you do, what happens to you that’s in your environment. Start noticing that everything is being lifted. You can even see it as something that’s levitating and moving up and up and away. Nothing is being taken from you. Nothing is lost. There’s no reason to hold on, no reason to protest or fear or even question. You know everything is going to a better place.

And so you experience yourself being lifted. There is a very buoyant, free quality like somehow you are light enough to go with the wind. And it’s exhilarating to know you can be as light as the air and there’s nothing to fear.

You experience this Light streaming, as though more and more Light and what is in the Light has gathered and the rate of the Light has increased, and the substance of the Light has increased so there is greater strength.

And if you would attempt to resist or not allow, there’s just something in you that knows you must let go, that you trust this Light.

So you find yourself floating and experience yourself fully expanded, free of any pressure. And if you place your awareness with any part of you –- the body, the mind, anything –- you find the Light. The body is Light, the mind is Light, the feelings are Light, and everything that comes to your consciousness is of the Light.

And now very gently you experience yourself floating down, very easily, gently, coming into your body. And whatever are your sensations, the Light is still with you. As you experience yourself from head to toe through the body, out through the arms and into the hands and fingers, there’s a beautiful sensation of this radiant energy of the Light.

Your awareness is full in the presence of peace. Take a moment inside of yourself to give thanks, to notice how this peace is for all. In this moment, in this awareness, you know peace on earth.
