The search for peace is at the heart of so much of what we do. Our actions, our words and relationships are all done in order to try to bring about peace and ease of emotional and situational being. It’s all very understandable and logical, because as a baby, we live completely in the present, with no concept of past and future, so peace is actually what we are. Once our mind develops and starts learning, planning, and understanding, it starts creating concepts and beliefs about our identity, and so our search for peace begins from that place of belief and conviction of separation.  But when we start exploring the search for peace for what it really is, it starts a transformation in everything, from our motivation to our relationships and desires. So in this episode, we’re going to start unpacking what peace is and how to look at the search for peace from a place of openness and inquiry.  What is Covered:  -What peace is and why our mind is conditioned to search for it -Why our search for peace seems to be unsuccessful  -How to get excited about not being peaceful -How to build capacity for discomfort when we’re experiencing suffering -The egoic challenge and confusion of constantly looking for peace -How to let go of control and start cultivating an inquiring mind     Resources:  -Download our exclusive recording Free Subliminal: Supporting the Enquiring Mind  bit.ly/podcastsubliminal  -Learn more about me and my work at https://claredimond.simplero.com/  -Find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/claredimondreal  -Let’s connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-dimond-b533007/  -Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/clare_v_dimond/
