The Peace Choice - Creating A Life of Bliss

BY PRAMELA THIAGESAN Peaceful is the one who is not concerned with having more or less. Unbound by name and fame, he is free from sorrow from the world and mostly from himself. ~ Rumi In a perfect world, there would be peace across all nations and har- mony within communities. We look at world peace as a concept that is detached from our personal capacity — it is something to be wished for, a sweeping solution to nuanced disharmony that in fact begins within the individual world view. If we are to be the change we wish to see in the world, then let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with (you and) me. The Global Peace Index (GPI) exists to evaluate how peaceful a country is based on a matrix of variables. One of the markers is the level of conflict that is present — this is considered negative peace, as it is measured by the absence of what threatens it. Using this same model, positive peace is measured by the frameworks, attitude, in- frastructure and investments within the country that lead to contin- ued and sustained peace. (Download the 2023 report at www.vision - ofhumanity.org/.) Aspiring for peace as a quality within our lives is not only arguably a more mature human desire, it is one that holds a higher vibration and is closer to enlightenment than any other quality, including joy and love. According to the Emotional Vibration Analysis Frequency Chart, an arbitrary scale created by Dr. David Hawkins and featured in his book Force vs. Power , the vibration of peace aligns with emo- tions associated with bliss and the life view that everything is as it should be. In short, that life is perfect. The chart measures Peace at 600 Hz, just below Enlightenment at 700+ Hz, and above Joy at 540 Hz and Love at 500 Hz. At the other end of the spectrum is shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, anger and pride (ranging between 20 Hz and 175 Hz). On closer inspection, it is evident these lower vibration emo - tions are often what diminishes love, joy, and without doubt, peace. The progression to identify peace as an elevated state of being is potentially a natural passage through the journey of life and the wis- dom we pick up along the way that peace is more valuable than pros- perity, fame, success, and actually even the ever-transient happiness. Within our physical body, peace has a different name, and this is homeostasis . Homeostasis is defined as “a self-regulating process by which a living organism can maintain internal stability while adjust- ing to changing external conditions”. Homeostasis is not static and unvarying; it is a dynamic process that can change internal conditions as required to survive external challenges. So, we achieve homeosta- sis when all our chemical, energetic, and aerobic/anaerobic systems are functioning at optimal balance to accommodate the toxic, inflam - matory, parasitic, viral, and oxidative stress that are part of life with- out compromising on the internal balance. When translated to our emotional health, it is our ability to maintain peace through adjusting our perception, and despite experiencing events that threaten it. In the world of alternative wellness practices, peace is associated with 528 Solfeggio Frequency. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the 528 Hz frequency can offer a wide range of benefits, which include improved sleep quality, reduced stress and anxiety, increased ener- gy levels, improved concentration and focus, improved digestion, and reduced pain and inflammation, among other benefits. A 2017 research study by the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of Tehran found that the frequency of 528 Hz increased cells’ viability about 20%, and the level of ROS (free radicals) pro -

duction was reduced up to 100%. It also noted that the 528 Hz sound wave has compelling effects, such as increasing the ability of repairing human DNA. Additional research in 2018 by the Center for Advanced Kampo Medicine and Clinical Research in Tokyo, Japan, measured the effects of this frequency on the endocrine system and found that Tension-anxiety and Total Mood Disturbance scores were significant - ly reduced after exposure to 528 Hz music. One of the wonderful opportunities the human experience offers us is perspective. When we look at moments of adversity and stress in our life and consider how we responded or reacted to those moments, we usually come to the conclusion that while the situation may have been hectic, heartbreaking, or stressful, our reactions to these situa- tions play an important role in the narrative of the event and how it impacts us after the fact. Worrying about what we are not, what we don’t have, what we should do or haven’t done actually served no pur- pose in the eventual outcome and was possibly disruptive. When we care for the aspects of our inner world to facilitate vibrations, frequen- cies, and perspectives that facilitate peace, while also mindfully inte- grating practices that create peaceful and balanced body systems, our whole life changes. We become able to move through a world of chaos, stressful situations, adversity, grief and even world turmoil without
