11 Sure-Fire Ways to Have a Calm and Peaceful Mind
By Donald Latumahina


1. Reduce your use of rational thinking

We need rational thinking, but we tend to overuse it in analyzing our situations and making decisions. That brings a lot of things into our mind which potentially also brings in noise. Is rational thinking really that important? I don’t think so. Even Einstein once said that “I never came upon any of my discoveries through the process of rational thinking.”


2. Listen to your intuition

While you should reduce your use of rational thinking, you should increase your use of intuition. Listen to your intuition whenever you need to make decisions. Your intuition often knows more than you think. Furthermore, since intuition works instantly, it won’t bring a lot of things into your mind. Your mind will remain calm and peaceful.


3. Listen to your heart

Your heart tells you what is right to do. There is where your deepest value and principles reside. Following what your heart says helps you be true to yourself, and that has a great effect on giving you peace of mind. So learn to listen more to your heart, and do what it tells you to do.


4. Get the stuff out of your mind

This is a basic principle of Getting Things Done (GTD). In fact, the term “mind like water” comes from GTD. You should record the things you need to do or remember on an external system you trust so that they do not occupy your mind. This way your mind will be freed to focus on your current task.


5. Meditate

Meditation is one of the best ways to calm your mind and have a “mind like water”. Even if you do the other ways mentioned in this post, sometimes there is still noise left in your mind. Meditation is a good way to purify it. There are many forms of meditation to choose from.


6. Limit your information intake

Consuming more information often means introducing more noise into your mind. That’s why limiting your information intake is essential to have a calm and peaceful mind. The rule of thumb in consuming information is this: consume information no more than what is necessary. But how do you know what is necessary? Rational thinking may help you figure it out, but I believe that your heart and intuition can help you just as much – if not more.


7. Read spiritual texts

Spiritual texts are among the purest kinds of information you can possibly get. It helps you link together your mind, heart, and intuition. While generally you should limit your information intake, I believe that you can safely consume spiritual texts without introducing noise into your mind.


8. Eliminate unessential stuff

It will be easier to have a peaceful mind if you don’t have too much stuff to worry about. So always look for ways to simplify your life. Eliminate the things which are not essential so that you can focus on the essential. Elimination should be a constant part of your life.


9. Don’t think too much about yourself

We usually think about our own needs and problems most of the time. But self-centered thoughts rarely bring peace into our mind. Quite the opposite, it may make us feel stressed and frustrated. So don’t think too much about yourself; forget yourself for a while.


10. Do something for others

Instead of thinking too much of ourselves, we should think more of others. Think of what you can do for others and do it. There is joy in giving which will give you peace of mind.


11. Slow down

In whatever you do, you do not need to be in rush. Doing so may only bring you faster to the wrong direction. First of all, you need to know where is the right direction to go. Slow down so that you can clearly hear the voice of your heart and intuition.

Now this is so true. Thank you for sharing this.

"I think I am a central figure,
Standing alone,
But when this is my thought
I ignore my connections.

Life is like a complex tapestry
of threads
interweaving
Creating more and more intricate patterns.

The more care, focus, and thought
that is entered into this picture,
the more ILLUMINATING
the result.

When I truly remember that I am a
strand of colour,
woven into the picture,
and not the WEAVER,
then will I remember my connections,
and see how many threads
connect me to OTHERS
Like a family Tree,
with limbs that reach back into Eternity.

Then, as a spider tentatively testing the threads of his web
I would carefully test the line,

I will wait to see who was aware of this subtle vibration,
Not all will feel it
for many are still asleep
But some will......

And when I understand
that I cannot be alone
I will be happy to be a single strand of colour
In the IMMENSE TAPESTRY OF LIFE"

I believe your right... that picture is one I use as a screen saver.

Good Morning here for those who enter....

Good Morning me lady, I hope you will recover from the French

Simmering Potpourris are a good way to fill your home with "Instant Magick". Say, for instance, the dog is harassing the cat, the kids are fighting, your spouse is grouchy and every few minutes a salesman is calling on the phone. Toss some herbs in a little pot along with a few drops of fragrant oil and put it on to simmer. As the properties of the herbs and oils are released throughout the house, just watch the atmosphere change! Since this is a "Quick Fix" most of the recipes include ingredients readily at hand – just grab and go!

Simmering Peace: vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon balm, apple slices and/or apple oil or simply use apple juice or cider in place of the water you would simmer the herbs in. Toss in a bit of clove or cinnamon as a catalyst to kick the whole thing off.

Simmering Creativity: yellow rose petals, star anise, orange slices, peel or oil, instant coffee.

Simmering Protection: 3 bay leaves, peppermint, rosemary, elder flowers, hyssop, lavender oil.

How many Witches does it take to change a light bulb?

Depends on what you want to change it into.

I hope you all have a blessed day.

No wonder so many people can't do anything in the morning until after they've had their coffee.

What they don't seem to realize is that orange juice works just as well.

I think the difference with the coffee is that they always heat it up and fill the room full of aroma, whilst the orange juice is usually consumed cold so they don't get the benefit of the simmering aroma.

I found the best of both worlds,...

Orange flavored herbal tea!





Tea anyone?

Love herbal tea!

And, yes, I agree about the aroma of coffee. I make it every morning and that is half the reason. I love my morning coffee!
