Stop Taking the Peace: A guide to remembering what it is to be free

To be at peace is to be free.

Free of anxiety, stress, fear, anger, loneliness, and all the other disturbing reactions that diminish our enjoyment of life.

Free in the realisation that to be truly happy and fulfilled, we have nothing to achieve - that the peaceful joy of our true nature has just become obscured by a misconception: the belief that we are lacking in some way. A belief that leads us to seek fulfilment in our relationships, in how we look, what we do and what we have.

However, despite all that we have obtained and achieved, we still haven't found what we are looking for because the wholeness we seek is not outside of ourselves; it is within us. We already are that which we have been searching for, and every moment offers the opportunity to realise this - that the freedom of inner peace is our natural state of being and it is here, now.

Practical and empowering examples, suggestions and practices, together with relevant experiences and insights from the author's eventful journey through life, guide the reader to understand their own life experience, to let go of unhelpful beliefs and habits, and awaken to the peaceful freedom of their true nature.
