Dr. Jean Marie opens with a LOVE LIGHT Meditation.

We are constantly bombarded with outside forces that disrupt our peace. Whether it's a series of events, behavior of others, or our own life challenges, we feel tired, emotionally exhausted, and at risk of losing ourselves in chaos and drama. How do we get to a place of peace? A powerful quote by Saint Francis de Sales reminds us of our responsibility to preserve our peace, "Never be in a hurry, do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset". This is a tall order but central to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Reclaim your power and return to your natural state of peace, love and joy by: Getting quiet, Setting your intention for peace, Moving into Stillness, Anchoring in divine love, and Dwelling in peace. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each.

Life is your epic journey. How will you choose to travel? Inner peace brings so many positive emotions and rewards. It is not escaping from problems but gives us clarity, understanding and coruage to gain a new perspective. It enables us to accept life as it comes, engage in authentic self-expression and fully participate in all facets of life. From a peaceful heart free of anxiety, confusion and worry, divine love flows. There is victory in peace and we should aim for this in all life circumstances with the realization that all is happening for our own spiritual evolution. Make peace with yourself and you will make peace with all that manifests in your life. Be grateful and know all is well!

Our Love In Action Practice is to take time to free yourself from external noise and distractions. Take time to be at peace with yourself. Throughout the day take well needed emotional breaks and respites for peace. Get quiet, set your intention for peace, move into stillness. Feel the peace radiating from within. Affirm, I Am Peace. Feel the flow of peace encircling your inner being and radiating outward into the world. Be present in this moment of peace. Revisit this place and be restored with peace throughout the day.

Dr. Jean Marie closes with her excerpts on Self-Composure and Inner Peace.

"Patience, kindness, generosity, humility, courtesy, unselfishness, good temper, guilessness, sincerity. All these make up the Supreme Gift, are there is the soul of whoever wishes to be in the world and close to God" -Henry Drummond

Where are you on the Spectrum of Love? Are you radiating at your highest capacity for Love? What do you need to magnify your brilliance? Love is supreme goodness and the highest expression of ourselves. These spiritual gifts of love are innate and our natural state of being. The Spectrum of Love, the foundation for the Love Quotient (LQ) includes nine ingredients: Patience, kindness, generosity, humility, courtesy, unselfishness, good temper, guilessness and sincerity. These ingredients are intertwined and help us thrive in our daily life. The Love Quotent (LQ) enables us to assess our capacity for authentic expression of love for ourselves and others. Like a diamond that is always shining, pure love radiates from our heart.

The Love Quotient (LQ) is regarded as the Wholistic Model of Love, the Recipe of Love, that connects us with our sovereign power and inspires us to align with the divine, know ourselves, and embody love through daily devotion. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each ingredient in addition to the attributes and antitypes. The LQ will enable you to assess where you are on the Spectrum of Love, become more aware of your thoughts, feelings and actions, and discern your readiness to implement these ingredients in your daily life.

We have the power to change. Through awareness, knowledge, committment and discipline we can hold ourselves accountable and be responsible for our actions. Character is built by ceaseless practice. Contemplate on the ingredients of love and devote yourself to daily practice. Life circumstances, challenges, and temptations are all opportunities to grow. These ingredients will change the way live and how you love. Our lives become fuller and richer and we can witness the immediate effects. Reflect love in all your endeavors and be the mirror of love in your daily life.

Our Love in Action Practice is to begin with the ingredient of love, Patience. Practice being self-composed, calm, at ease, not rushed or in a hurry. How does this make you feel? How does being patient improve the relationship with yourself and others. Journal and reflect. What are the outcomes? Next, take time to practice each ingredient of love and see where it takes you.

Dr. Jean Marie closes with her excerpt on Love.

There's a river in each of us that knows no boundaries. The image of water provides an outward reflection of our inner self. Like the surging power of a rapidly flowing river, life can be unpredictable without knowing where it may lead. However, we have the innate capacity to navigate change with grace and ease. This requires faith and trust in ourselves and knowing that we are on the right path for forwarding movement.

The sustainer of life, water is a gift of nature that nourishes our entire well being. Associated with qualities of ever-changing emotions, feelings and intutition, going inward we can connect to our true selves and embrace change. Marked by ancient and traditional ceremonies around the world and integrated with other forms of healing, meditations and blessings, our sacred connection to water nurtures our collective spirit. Water inititation rituals support our life's journey by surrendering to what we do not know and taking us just where we need to be.

During the time spent in the Himalayas, immersed in nature and surrounded by breathtaking views, majestic mountains, pristine rivers and waterfalls, my mind, body and soul were refereshed. Keenly observing the rivers flowing downstream, gently washing over obstacles and meandering around rocks embedded in the stream, nothing stopped the natural flow. Taking time for journaling and self-reflection, I became one with the river and felt a profound sense of serentity.

When we are out of the flow, we feel dammed up, stagnant, and out of balance resulting in stress and anxiety. When we are in sync, like the flow of the river, we trust our decisions and know that we are divinely guided. Water consciousness has a deep symbolic meaning that shows us the dynamic fludidity of nature moving through cycles, rhythms, and patterns representing change and transformation.

Connect with the sacred flow of the river to be healthier, happier and more creative. Flourish like the river to achieve clarity, patience, freedom, goodness, and endurance as you move forward on your path to achieve the life you desire. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each.

Our Love In Action practice is twofold. Reflect and journal on challenges you faced and overcame. What did you learn? How did you grow? What was the outcome. How are you all the better for it. Build on the lessons and the blessings. Next, reflect and journal on what you are trying to hold on to and control that you need to let go. Why are you holding on? How can you love yourself more, surrender and release the reins of control?
