Finding spiritual peace in a tough economy

Do you remember when you were a child in school, and drills were conducted just in case earthquakes, fires, or tornadoes happened? The school prepared you to be ready for the sudden, unexpected winds of change.

Today, we face an unexpected economic downturn, not witnessed since the great depression, and as the clouds of uncertainty surround us, we must be prepared to cope with confusion, and chaos swirling around our very being, so that we can maintain spiritual balance and harmony, in its midst.

While change is never easy, it is inevitable. We continually face upsets, and unbalance, at times when it is the least expected, and, when we are least prepared. Perhaps it would be easier to cope, if we knew when the change was going to happen, but like earthquakes, tornadoes, or fires that can and do happen, we often don't know when they will occur.

It's not easy to keep your equilibrium, and maintain your sanity in the midst of the storm. Yet, your very survival depends upon learning skills to keep peace and harmony within yourself, while living in a haze of uncertainty.

Meditation is one, but not the only answer, in maintaining spiritual peace. Meditation is a learned skill, and one that can be practiced. Ask any professional trained in the art of meditation, and they will all tell you the same. When practicing meditation, find a quiet spot to center thoughts, focus on your breathing, and still thoughts, to gain the best results.

You cannot center thoughts in the midst of turmoil, unless you have practiced the
