Do Butterflies Land On Your Shoulder? - by Jan Tincher
Do butterflies land on your shoulder? Are you able to walk among wild animals without disturbing them? Do babies STOP crying when you enter the room? What are all these questions really asking you? They are asking you if you have peace. Fear attracts fear. Hatred attracts hatred. Peace attracts peace. What is a main ingredient of someone who is at peace? They are steadfast in their abstention from thoughts of falsehoods and fear. Fear that things won't work out. A person who has peace, who is at peace with themselves and their world, is operating from a higher frequency than anyone else.
NOTE: That doesn't mean you can't have peace if you don't know how to operate in the higher frequency. It just means that you aren't in the higher frequency if you aren't feeling peace. Lots of people would like to feel peace in their lives, but they are unwilling to give up life as they know it. For instance, if they find peace, what will happen to their family life? What will their friends think? What will happen in their day to day living? Many people don't like to *rock the boat,* so to speak. They are already playing the game of life with the *equipment* they have. Their equipment being, for example, bad moods that have an anger in them that gets results. For instance, if the kids are bad, if mom/dad doesn't get upset in the same way they always have, they won't get the results they've always gotten.
They are rocking the boat, giving them the feeling that if they turn nice, nothing will get done and no one will respect their authority. Some people find comfort in their different reactions to things, even knowing it is wrong. They'd like peace, but . . . There are those that feel it would take too much effort to learn how to be peaceful, others feel that no one will like them if they change, and still others think that people will think they are goody-two-shoes. A very popular misconception is that people will take advantage of them. Whatever they are thinking is keeping them away from peace. It's keeping them away from a calmer existence. Is this where you're at? Well, if so, take a moment and think about this. If you have peace, people around you have peace. Remember? Peace attracts peace. In your mind, visualize your household -- peaceful. Still seems like too much work? What if I told you that it's really not. It just takes a conscious decision to spend a few minutes a day, a few times a day, sitting or lying down quietly.
Your only thoughts being these or something similar that makes you feel peaceful: I am at peace. I love. I am loved. I am loving. It's a beautiful day today. Now, when your time is up and you get back to your day-to-day living, guess what. You aren't so quick to anger. You aren't so quick to feel the stress. You aren't so quick to be in a me-my-mine frame of mind. After you've found your peace, you'll find that you wish you would have done this years ago. We all are teachers, just by being. Your co-workers, friends, children, and spouse or significant other are learning from you, just as you are learning from them. What WERE you teaching them before, without even trying? What ARE you teaching them now that you've found peace -- without even trying? Peace is accessible to all. Why not do your best to find yours? Your family and friends will love you for it. Realize right now that everything else is just an excuse. You may not have a goal to have butterflies land on your shoulder, but you will find that happens more and more -- when YOU are peaceful. It all starts within. Learn not to explain or complain, just feel the peace. Let me know how this works for you. I care.
