Redefining Peace
While the previous emotion, anger, was rooted in conflict, peace unites.
♾
Just as there are moments in life that need a separation, there are also times of unity.
Peace is patient, still, and content. It is GROUNDED in YOU.
As we have noticed with each emotion this far, peace is also cultivated within. Only you can bring yourself peace. People and objects may comfort you, but peace brings True comfort through acceptance and understanding.
Wisdom, not war, brings peace.
Through this, one can begin to detach from personal judgments and begin to unite the opposites.
There may be a struggle with uniting difficult opposites within, such as shadow or repressed parts of your personality, but with an aim towards wholeness, PEACE SHINES.

Think about this example...
One wakes up and has a burning worry something has happened to their daughter who left for vacation yesterday. You are worried and stressed. You FEAR the worst, as thoughts race from within. Then, you receive a message from her saying all is well. Instantly, you feel at ease and peace (typically).
In this example, we notice how peace occurs. When one is in inner conflict (worries and stresses), peace is nowhere to be found. There is uncertainty and this is causing fearful thoughts to arise. As one begins to have an understanding on what is happening, the sensation of peace floods as the inner conflict is healed.
Truly, peace is all about accepting and understanding. Accept and understand YOU to be at PEACE ✌️.

Defining Peace
Definitions
(Merriam-Webster): “A state of tranquility or quiet.”
(Dictionary.com): “A state of mutual harmony between people or groups, especially in personal relations.”
(Cambridge Dictionary): “Freedom from war and violence, especially when people live and work together happily without disagreements.”
(Wikipedia): “Peace is a concept of societal friendship and harmony in the absence of hostility and violence.”
(Oxford Dictionary): “Freedom from disturbance; tranquility.”
While anger was in conflict, peace is in tranquility. Think of anger as a signal action must take place, while peace may provide a sense of completion. Through these definitions, there seems to be an outward scope to peace. Most definitions talk about relationships, which is just one aspect to peace. There is also peace with yourself, a sense of stillness within oneself.
Another aspect when looking over these definitions comes from Cambridge dictionary. It used the word freedom. Peace brings freedom, it breeds presence and non-judgment. If you find peace with another, it frees you both from conflict and opens up new possibilities. The same formula applies to peace with oneself. You free yourself from inner conflicts and open up new possibilities in your life.
Let’s explore the emotion peace..
Triggering and Expressing Peace
Triggering Peace
Peace is triggered in a difference sense than anger. While anger gets things moving, peace keeps you still. You “just are” when peace is triggered. In addition, it can be triggered in two directions. A fading peace that is provided from the outer world, as an internal peace that can be cultivated within. While this inner peace typically lasts longer than the external, it is not a one and done process. If something within or outside you, chaos out of your control. there may be a reaction and conflict towards it. There is where peace turns to anger, where that energy is necessary with the current conditions. It is important to see from where and how peace is triggered in you.
Energetic Peace
Peace is a vibration that is in rhythm. It is connective. It unifies. It brings together a true connection.
While anger was a bit chaotic and sporadic energetically, think of a wave form going up and down at different periods and frequencies. Peace has a sense of quiet in its energetic waveform. If one thinks of a heartbeat pattern, you can visualize energetically how each is expressed.
Not only does this energy affect you, other sense it. If you are living in peace, others that are radiating that energy will notice. Many will say, “you just seem to have this peaceful way about you.” They are sensing that calm, connected rhythm of energy you are projecting.
Responding, Not Reacting, to Peace
Reacting
While anger took a bit of time to approach, peace is going to be easy. It just is. There is not reaction. No judgment. True peace is.
Now, if one reacts to peace with high energy and becomes attached to the peace, they may set their Self up for a future disaster when chaos is reintroduced back into life. At this point, that attachment to peace, one removed, turns into a desperation. Instead of seeing the situation for what it is trying to tell you, you are distracted in an attempt to get back to PEACE. It is important to understand and enjoy the peaceful moment, but not to become attached. Wholeness requires Peace and Conflict. If not, if you just focus on the good, conflict will find you regardless.
Responding
Just as the previous section, responding to peace is simple. You just are. It is not a signal something needs to be done or a lesson is to be learned. If anything, it is a signal you have balance built into this moment and you are present.
Making Peace Work For YOU
Control
Controlling emotions are not the ability to decide what emotions you want to feel. Rather, letting them run their course as you detach and evaluate them. Peace is again a signal that you are balanced and right with yourself. Now, why would this emotions need “control”. With anger, if you keep fueling the fire, something may pop. With peace, it is difficult to say one may pop in peace. A better analogy would be hover or be floating in peace. That being said, if you are at so much peace that you attach to the idea of just living peace, you are mistaken. Too much one-sidedness of ANYTHING in life will come back to haunt you. If you only want peace, then angers are repressed. It is impossible to escape this law of energy. Energy is two (+ and -). This must be accepted.
Intelligence
Peace is a signal that all is well. It is impossible to buy. Just like money can buy you love, it cant buy peace either. This is because peace is cultivated from within. Peace occurs when energies are in rhythm. It is a great maker for wholeness and uniting the opposites. It also goes well with anger. If one is in anger, they are in conflict. Once this anger is resolved, peace follows. In this, one can see peace as the signal that an anger (conflict) was internally integrated successfully.
Use peace as an energetic signal that you are walking a life of wholeness. Peace doesn’t judge, it just is.
Redefining Peace
Peace united. Peace signals balance and wholeness. Peace is cultivated within, triggered when our internal energies are balanced. Peace is non-judgmental and breeds freedom. Peace is still and in harmony. Peace is centered. Peace is WHOLE.
Give Peace a Chance.
