Where is your peace zone?

Where is the place where everything shuts off, where your mind can focus on a singular thing?

Just breathe – no emails, no ideas or problems, no bills, no to do list or things to organize.

 …just breathe in and out. Feel that life giving breath as your chest expands and oxygen fills your body.

You can’t hear or think anything else just the rhythmical breath and maybe the feeling of your heart beat.

Five minutes in the peace zone can change your perspective, which can alter all the rest of the days decisions.

You don’t need to go to a course or do anything strange to get into the peace zone. It might seem hard in everyday life to go there but it dosen’t mean it can’t be done.

If it seems impossible to find your peace zone in your world now, then go somewhere else – the beach, the forrest, a park, even get inside a wardrobe for 5 mins!

I find a simple change of position leads to a change of mental perspective that will amaze you.

Today I was going somewhere and happened to pass by an empty, silent chapel and went in. No phone on or ipad to check emails. Just sitting and allowing the silence to silence me.

Before long 5 mins had gone by and I felt new ideas were already coming to me. The stress of the former part of the day was already passing.

As an acupuncturist I often hear patients say they love coming in for acupuncture because it’s the only time they can relax.

While it’s great that acupuncture helps you to shut off your mind…and you can’t exactly run off and do something when your pinned down to the bed, it’s such a sad reality of our society that we don’t relax well.

 Demands are always there, life will probably get more complicated and even after you die bills will still be coming in. I think we can benefit from all stealing 5 minutes in the peace zone!
