Peace. It’s about slowing down and loving what is… a Be Here Now state of being:

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”

What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”

“I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully.

It’s the same thing,” he said.

Like everything else in our lives, peace is a state of being we can choose. It is felt as a present-moment awareness. In harder times, peace might be something we must choose with each in-breath, focusing on it, choosing it. In easier, more joy-full times, the feeling of peace might reside deep within our cells, and if we are paying attention, we can choose to appreciate this sense of peace.

Peace is soft, yielding, flowing, like water, like the slow and gentle movements of tai chi, like the sleeping face of a beloved. It is in the blowing of a breeze, the sound of the wind in the trees, the orange pop! in late spring of the poppies. It is as simple as that– as noticing our surroundings, as having faith that all is well, as taking comfort in the “is-ness” of the moment.

Equanimity is felt as an acceptance of the moment—first, simplicity comes in when we simply notice what is and equanimity comes afterward, when we love what is. Loving what is… how much freedom we would feel—how much freedom we would actually have—if only we loved whatever presented itself, knowing that it is all just perfect. And isn’t freedom felt as peace?

We can only be at peace with others as we are peace-full with ourselves. So, make peace with your Self– know your true nature and accept yourself as you are, both shadow and light. Know that you can never know the effects of your words and deeds on another’s heart, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they seem to you.

“Let’s go and see everybody,” said Pooh. Because when you’ve been walking in the wind for miles, and you suddenly go into somebody’s house, and he says, ‘Hallo, Pooh, you’re just in time for a little smackerel of something,’ and you are, then it’s what I call a Friendly Day.”

Piglet thought that they ought to have a Reason for going to see everybody, like Looking for Small or Organizing an Expotition, if Pooh could think of something.
Pooh could.

“We’ll go because it’s Thursday,” he said, “and we’ll got to wish everybody a Very Happy Thursday. Come on, Piglet.”

Let it be Easy. What Seeds of Peace will you sow today?

Carbondale, Colorado, September 1, 2009- Creating a fulfilling and meaningful life is on many people’s minds these days. In an often uncertain and stressful world, people are searching for a sense of hope. That sense of hope is exactly what inspired Renee Brest, Liz Gracia, and Amy Spradlin to start the business, Seeds of Intentions.

Armed with a growing awareness of the power of the mind and the understanding that we each play a large part in creating our own reality, these three ladies set the intention that they were going to build a business that inspired people to live a more conscious, deliberately abundant, creative and joyous life.

Every product that is designed by or sold through Seeds of Intentions has a positive, life-affirming message. For instance, “Blooms of Intentions” is a planting kit that actually serves as a visual tool for growing love, peace, joy and gratitude in one’s life. Additionally, “Written Intent”, Seeds of Intentions line of customized journals, allows customers to have a vehicle to journal and manifest their hearts’ desires through the written word. Jewelry, clothing, books, and water bottles are among the other items the business promotes.

“When people surround themselves with the energy of what they want more of in their lives, the Universe responds,” explains co-founder, Amy Spradlin. “So if you want more peace, focus on peace. Write about peace. Wear symbols of peace. Read about peace. Then watch as peace fills more and more of your life.”
