Most are five-minute exercises, but you may extend them to 15 minutes if you are comforatble with them. Try not to judge yourself for failing, or for doing them imperfectly, or for being distracted while doing them. Nevertheless, be willing to make an effort, and give them enough priority in your day to make the practice effective.
Peace of mind is an internal matter.
It begins with our own thoughts and extends outward. During your quiet time today, notice any thoughts that come between you and a sense of deep inner peace. Let all things shine upon me in that peace, and let me bless them with the light in me. The judging mind insists that we decide what is right and wrong, good and bad, and force ourselves in the direction that the ego feels will most enhance its image of itself. There is often little room for 'not knowing,' or for taking 'baby steps' toward healing.
