How to Generate an Environment of Peace
Step One
From family arguments to global wars, the world is in a state of great unrest. Sometimes the more profound way to begin to create peace is not with any attempt to enlist calm dialogue or to act differently toward others, but to take a proactive stand about your own environment.
Select items for your keep in your home that are created without violence.
Did you know that the basic household items generate their own vibration that reverberates through your home?
By selecting household products such as cleaners that are from companies which maintain a humane standard will immediately change the energy. Example: The laundry detergent, Tide, is nicknamed, Died, because of the terrible animal tests that are totally unnecessary. The first act of imposing those tests is violent enough in itself, but that it is unnecessary is a form of immorality. So, seek out a laundry detergent and other cleaners that are “peacefully” made. Who needs those harsh chemicals put into clothes, onto counter tops and son on anyway? Certainly not you!
Step Two
Establish a space in your home that represents something that you believe in. It does not have to be a religion, but should reflect that in which you have faith. A direct item would be to place a small alter somewhere, but any space will be just as effective such as a small table or space in a bookcase, or even the kitchen. I have a nice area in my kitchen that holds items sacred to me.
The principle is that if you create a physical place for God to manifest then you have intentionally created a working energy exclusively for that purpose. A pool table is for playing pool, a stove is for cooking food, and so on. A sacred space is for communing and honoring that which is higher and good.
