Day 20 - Radiating Serenity
“We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil.”
– Swami Satchidananda
– Swami Satchidananda
In our meditation today, we bring our attention to the
peaceful and serene influence we can offer the world around us. For our
serenity to have a powerful transformative effect on others, it needs to
come from our inner being, not just our superficial mood or attitude.
We need to be that peace we want to see happen. We need to be serenity,
and when we access this peace we naturally radiate serenity.
Peace and serenity are born from a state of inner happiness – our true self. As we live in alignment with our true self we naturally radiate our serenity in the environment . . . we are simultaneously expanding the happiness of ourselves and those around us. Today’s meditation enlivens this state of serenity within our being so that it lovingly influences each person and interaction we have throughout the day.

Day 20 - Radiating Serenity
Whenever
you access your silent self, you become a source of serenity. Describe
the last time you felt deeply serene and calm. It can even be the
experience from today’s meditation. Be specific about how this serenity
felt in mind, body and spirit.
Day 20 - Radiating Serenity
What
steps can you take to deepen your experience of serenity? For instance
to deepen your meditations, you may want to ensure you won’t be
interrupted by turning off the ringer on your phone or by hanging your
“Silence please . . . I’m meditating” door hanger.
