空から見ると知らない場所がたくさん！
昨年、ホノルル行の飛行機から撮ったのですが
次回はあのビーチへ行くぞ！と思ったドラゴンユウコでした。
今年2月のマウイ弾丸トラベルでは

本日のメッセージ
「幸せとは何かを所有することではなく、その状態にあることです。
ハートが何事にも影響されずハートそのものが温かい輝きを放っている状態です」-デイビッド・O・マッケイ
今日の瞑想では、
「あなたの内なる平和を表現する」という喜びの特質の一つにつながりましょう。
日常生活の安らぎや人との平穏なやりとりのことではありません。
これは、魂そのものからもたらされる永久的な平和の感覚であり、
すべての平和の感覚がそれに含まれています。
聖書には「あらゆる理解を超えた神なる平安」とあります。
この段階の平和の感覚は、
大変なことが起きている時でも、
幸せを感じている時でも、
状況がどうあろうと、
あなたに安定と平安をもたらす内なる根幹なのです。
このスピリチュアルな平和は、
人生のバランスを保つための中心核なのです。
Day 3 – Feeling Peace
Message of the day
“Happiness consists not of having, but of being. It is a warm glow of the heart at peace with itself.” ― David O. McKay “
Our meditation today will connect us to an aspect of our joy that expresses itself as inner peace. This is not ordinary peace of mind or peaceful interactions with others. This is the permanent feeling of peace that comes from the soul itself, and encompasses all the other varieties of peace within it. The Bible refers to it as “the peace of God which passes all understanding.”
This level of peace is the core of stillness within that gives us steadiness and quiet comfort when circumstances in our life may be confusing, as well as when times are happy and fulfilling. This spiritual peace is our calm center that keeps our life in balance.”

Today’s Centering Thought
“I am peace”
Sanskrit Mantra
“Shanti Hum – I am peace” (pronunciation Shahnti Hum)
Oprah
“Welcome to day 3, Feeling Peace. Today is an exciting day. On the road to expanding your happiness, this is a vista where you will want to pause and really spend some time. We define peace in many ways. We all hope for a world of peace with no war, no strife, no struggle. We all strive for personal peace – we want calm in our day. Serenity in our minds, a sweet steadiness in our hearts but there is another level of peace that Deepak will guide us toward today. It is spiritual peace, a contentedness that is all-encompassing and cannot be taken away. That, my friends, is the kind of peace that creates true and lasting happiness. Enjoy today’s meditation. Deepak leads us to it and through it to a new dimension of essential peace.”
Deepak
“Peace is an inner state that comes in many forms. Peace of mind is one. When you have peace of mind, you aren’t worried or stressed. You can go inside and relax. A deeper peace is free of anxiety about the future – it makes you feel safe and secure. Even deeper is the peace of self-acceptance. You are OK with who you are. Then, there is spiritual peace. Spiritual peace is the contented stillness of the soul. The bible calls this the peace that passes all understanding. When we access this level of peace, we have moved beyond the mere absence of stress, worries, doubt and insecurity. As valuable as it is to be free of those obstacles, we gain even more when we find spiritual peace.
First, because it contains those other kinds of peace. When your soul is content, your heart and mind are also content. Second, and even better, spiritual peace cannot be taken away from you. This is the place where unconditional love is found. This is the home of happiness that can expand into unbounded bliss. Peace in the soul is the fundamental happiness underlying life, even when outer events are not pleasant or enjoyable. You can survive a great crisis without being shaken because you are at peace. You have given yourself a level of core well-being. It’s always there to fall back upon in difficult times but also in times of love and fulfillment.
As we prepare to meditate together, let’s take a moment to consider our centering thought. I am peace. I am peace. Now let’s prepare for our meditation. Make yourself comfortable and close your eyes. Begin to be aware of your breath and just breathe, slowly and deeply. With each breath, allow yourself to become more deeply relaxed. Now gently introduce the mantra, Shanti Hum. This mantra connects you to your natural state of inner peace. As you repeat the mantra, visualize yourself settling into perfect peace. Repeat it silently to yourself, Shanti Hum. Shanti Hum. Shanti Hum. With each repetition, feel your body, mind and spirit open and receive just a little more. Whenever you find yourself distracted by thoughts, noises or physical sensations, simply return your attention to silently repeating the mantra. Shanti Hum. Shanti Hum. Shanti Hum. Continue with your meditation. Shanti Hum. Shanti Hum. Shanti Hum. Just mentally. Shanti Hum. Shanti Hum. Shanti Hum.
Release the mantra. Continue to sit restfully, inhaling and exhaling slowly. When you feel ready, open your eyes.
As you continue with your day, contemplate the centering thought. I am peace. I am peace. I am peace.

Journal Questions:
1. “Recall a time when you felt calm and peaceful, even though the circumstances were not peaceful. Write down a description of that event, and describe how you were able to be calm in that situation. What was the source of this peacefulness if it didn’t come from outside?”
2. “Thinking of this same peaceful experience, imagine that feeling of calm becoming deeper and stronger within your soul to the point where nothing happening in the environment could shake it. Describe what that kind of peace would feel like physically, mentally and emotionally. How could this type of peace change your life?”
3. “Consider who you admire most as an icon of peacefulness. It could be Gandhi, or Martin Luther King, Jr., or it might be someone in your family. Describe the character qualities in them you want to emulate.”
4. “Reflect further on your experience today”
