Peace at the Core
      Inner peace goes right to the core of the self, the still point of the inner world, the place that is the beginning and end of all healing and transformation.
 
      Inner peace is a quality of your essence, the core of the Self. A woman named Sandra was dealing with a very difficult relationship. She felt strain going through her entire body and released some tears that she'd been holding in. She described herself as deeply sad, like thick, gray, and dismal storm clouds. She breathed into her experience and exhaled, and then her Wise Mind began to speak to her:
            "Underneath your sadness is a landscape of you, a blanket of peace. There are rolling hills, carpets of green grass, breathtaking flowers, and you can come here to rest your soul anytime you like. Underneath your sadness, it's airy, light, and sunny. Come here at any time, and you'll transform all the troubles in your life."
 
And as one Zen monk wrote, "Over a cup of tea, I stopped the war."
 
I Can See Peace Instead of This
        In the core of yourself, you can listen or feel or watch, and peace and healing come through. You're given the opportunity to be more peaceful about any of your issues, your finances, your health, your relationships, even the state of the world. The book A Course in Miracles says, "Peace is my most important priority." It also says, "I can see peace instead of this."

 

And a few lines from Rumi:

The world is too full to talk about.
