#105 – Preserving our quota of peace
20 November 2024
Today, Danis Bois began to guide a new series of meditations online. He has chosen as a theme for this series ‘The Inner Climate of Peace’ further to the climax Festival he took part in, in September 2024 in Bordeaux (France).
The theme of peace is particularly close to Danis Bois’ heart as it finalizes in some way the long path he has been on in his quest for sense and meaning.
How can we find this place of peace within ourselves? How can we demand of ourselves a quota of peace that is absolutely necessary to achieve balance in our lives?
It is not simply about finding peace, but about taking care of our relationship with peace in all its dimensions.
In the course of this series, different themes will be touched on following a step-by-step learning process.
The first meditations will focus on how to connect with our place of peace within before we begin to explore how to make peace with ourself, then with others, and how we can contribute to peace in the world. Finally the meditations will address dying in peace and how we can accompany people to die in peace.
Extracts of the meditation on preserving our quota of peace:
We all have a place of peace inside ourselves that we neglect too easily in favour of the external world.
We all need ur quota of peace in our daily life.
And having our quota of peace every day is as important as sleep to stay in good health […]
And if around you, people do not let you have your quota of peace, which can happen, take the decision to offer yourself your quota of peace.
Not to escape the world, but to be in the world.
Peace is at the same time a sensation, a state of being, an attitude, a discipline […]
There is nothing that is closer to peace than inner silence […]
When you feel that you are leaving your place of peace within yourself, then in five little minutes, you lower your eyelids, you remain silent and motionless, and sometimes that is enough […]
You have to learn to be militant about your life and claim your right to offer yourself moments of peace […]
Your body needs peace to regenerate and as for you, you need peace to love, to love life, to love your nearests, and to love others.
