I Find Peace Like This
Congratulations,
Wow yes, I got accepted at MENA Salam at Turkey, woohoo.
That was my first reaction when I got the acceptance Email, however I knew that I have a lot of paper issues to be covered due to some unrest between the governments of Egypt and Turkey.
A few years ago, still as a student at the Catholic University Institute of Buea, I came in contact with what changed my life for good. Working and studying full time I knew I had to get help with my depression. I recognized how unfair it was to my family to allow myself to be consumed by this negative emotion; I was not myself at work either.
A beautiful butterfly landed on my pillow. It was white with a black spot shaped as a half-moon on each wing. The butterfly kissed me and woke me up. I felt a pain. A terrible pain in my heart and my soul. The pain that I had never experienced before.
Have you ever had one of those sleepless nights, where you change your posture for hundred times already, flip your pillows for that cooler side, count white fluffy sheep for an hour and still can’t fall asleep? If you had one of those nights, you know how annoying it is to check the clock constantly just to realize that you are still awake and even when you wake up, you feel more tired than before. One of such nights can be still bearable, but what if you cannot fall asleep night after night?
I am Fulgence Niyonkuru, living in Ghana. I came to know about Peace Revolution in 2012 but I got involved with Peace Revolution in 2013 and I have been active peace rebel, Peace agent, peace coach ever since. I have heard lots experiences to share regarding the journey of my inner peace building through the practice of meditation.
We live in a wonderful world, surrounded by the beauty of nature and people who love and care about us. But till the time we understand, recognize and appreciate all the amazing moments which we live in, we skip many important and beautiful trices, without understanding the value of it.
The sun never sets as the day never rest thinking about life and worrying about the future. The worries were translated into the mind and led high tension with unbearable stresses which led into ulcers. The days become harder as life pain keep sucks. I did not realize that I was worrying and stressing myself too much over the things beyond my control. I was living in total darkness.
I knew about meditation before discovering Peace Revolution, but at that time, I was not that disciplined to meditate every day. So, Peace Revolution not only helped me cultivate discipline but also, gives me a totally different method to calm my mind.
At any age, a good and varied diet is a prerequisite for health. As people become older they may be less active and need fewer calories but their basic vitamin, mineral and protein requirements do not diminish with age.
