When We Are Peaceful, We Can Be Ourselves In A Very Honest Way.

When we are peaceful, we can be ourselves in a very honest way.

This is possible regardless of how we are feeling because peace is itself not an emotion.

Peace is an intrinsic quality of awareness, which is why peacefulness feels so grounding.

That groundedness is the most reliable support we have when encountering all of ourselves.

It is the antidote to our uptightness, to our inward cringing, and to our compulsion to accept or reject what we find inside.

We touch the ground, we are the ground, and we find that we have the space to meet whatever is there.

As awareness, we can be present with ourselves in complete honesty.

Then we will finally feel natural.
