PEACE -The Most Sought After Zip Code





It’s one of those immutable laws. Life will always contain geographic and/or internal changes. 

Relocation is inevitable.

When we’re in between the zip codes of life, it can be very unsettling – if we allow it to be.


So how can peace be packed into any relocation?

While in transition it feels like everything is changing, but the truth is -  the essence of who you are remains unchanged. There is comfort and reliability in things that remain the same, so why not reside in that familiar neighborhood while navigating transition?

Your life’s history, and the love you’ve given and received will forever remain unchanged. All the good you’ve poured into the world is sustained no matter what state (emotional or geographic) you are in.

Look to symbols in nature as a way to maintain peace during change. Waves flow in and out, at times with great force, other times quite gently. Standing on the shore, all we see is fluctuation and change, but the essence of the ocean remains the same. Getting in touch with that sameness within us can provide peace as we flow in and out of transition.

Last but not least, no matter what transition we’re experiencing, the breath passing through our bodies is an ever-present portal to peace. In any moment of change, a gentle deep breath will always lead to greater ease.
