Peace

Looking back over the past year, I wish for us humans above all one thing: Peace! And I’m sure that this wish can come true.

We sometimes feel powerless, faced with war, terror, and violence. And yet each of us can make an important contribution to change – for all peace in the world begins with peace in ourselves.

An essential aspect of this inner peace is health. If the body is healthy, we have the necessary strength to shape things around us positively. If the mind and the soul are healthy, we have the strength to be a valuable source of inspiration for all those who surround us.

Another essential aspect of inner peace is harmony. When we get out of balance it is often due to our emotions. But with attentiveness we can recognize them at an early stage and control them for example through calm and conscious breathing or by meditation. Even the transformation of rage and anger into compassion and gratitude becomes possible.

The more stable the peace inside us becomes, the more intense it will radiate to our environment. A deep inner peace allows for peace in our families, friends and colleagues, in our community and far beyond city and country boundaries.

Maybe it takes some time for this seed to sprout. But when each one of us contributes every day, we will succeed in making the world a place of peace.

Heartily wishes for a healthy, harmonious and peaceful New Year
