Dear Chris,

“How to know I have my Inner Peace”

When you no longer ask this question.

“It takes times until Inner Peace comes to you.  But when?”

Every moment is a new and fresh moment. So NOW is always the time to feel peaceful about any person, situation and event. It will only take time for peace to come to you if you live more in psychological time (past/future conditioning of the mind).

• “Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”  ~ Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

• “No matter how long your journey appears to be, there is never more than this: one step, one breath, one moment – The Now.”

• “Nothing has happened in the past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.”

• “All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry – all forms of fear – are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.” 

• “You cannot be both unhappy and fully present in the Now.”

Warm Regards,
