Through evocative lyrics like “Now I can breathe, life runs in me, my body feels vibrations, baby, and my spirit is free”, the track channels the essence of a spiritual awakening.“Eternal Peace is about the connection to something greater than ourselves—the timeless energy that binds us all,” says Sol. “I wanted to create a song that feels like a bridge between this world and the next, offering a sense of peace that never fades.”His musical journey began at 14, inspired by his grandfather "Boots," a fan of Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson.

    Today's episode features a new song by Pete Price, that embodies the heartfelt storytelling that has become a hallmark of Pete's work. “This Time” is part of Pictures in Time, a deeply introspective album released in 2024. Tracks like “House of Mirrors” and “Better Angels” showcase Price's evolution as an artist and storyteller.Here is the inspiration behind Pete's song, "This Time":Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds" in advocating the right for a person to change in order to experience greater personal growth. Don't limit yourself because of the expectations of others. "This Time" is a song about having the right to reinvent yourself. You have no real responsibility to be consistent, although you should always try to be kind and ethical. Those who knew you as a certain kind of person have no right to expect for you to remain that way. However, they have the right to take you or leave you at any time, whether you stay the same or change.Featuring Casey Davis on electric guitar, Allen Seals on mandolin and recorded at Triangle Road Studio, “This Time” captures Pete Price's roots/Americana essence with rich instrumentation and reflective lyricism.Find out more about Pete's music at www.petepricemusic.com

He emphasizes that many of us live too much in our minds, constantly analyzing, comparing, and thinking about the past or future. This mental chatter keeps us from fully experiencing the present moment.To truly embrace the present, Enzo encourages us to shift away from overthinking and become more mindful. He draws a comparison to professional athletes, artists, and free climbers, who are deeply immersed in the moment when they are practicing their craft. Their focus and discipline provide a natural gateway to presence.Meditation, Enzo explains, is another powerful tool that trains the mind to calm down and focus. It can help anyone become more present, both in meditation and in daily life, by reducing mental distractions and allowing for a deeper connection to the here and now.Listeners can learn more about Enzo's photography retreats by visiting his website, www.photographyretreats.comStay present and find peace in the moment.

Today's message explores the power of acknowledging and accepting our emotions.In this episode, we delve into how unresolved anger and other emotions can conquer us if not addressed. Emotions need both recognition and acceptance, as they are powerful aspects of our being. By giving respectful attention to our feelings—whether they are fear, anger, or jealousy—we can diminish their intensity and prevent them from overwhelming us.Ignoring emotions can cause them to grow and become more intense, much like a child demanding attention. Instead, acknowledging our emotions enriches our experiences and serves as a guidepost on our journey. How we feel reflects our security, our connection to a higher power, and our commitment to our personal growth.Our emotions are always present, steering our behavior and reflecting our attitudes. They can indicate how close we are to our spiritual path. By recognizing our feelings, we can use them to guide us towards peace and connection.Thank you for joining us for this episode.

Depending on the intensity of the emotion, you might need to practice for five minutes or more, but often just a few long breaths can make a significant difference.Breathing Exercise Instructions:1. Inhale slowly, taking a long, deep breath.2. Exhale without holding the breath, letting it out slowly.3. Repeat, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly.4. Focus on stretching each breath longer and deeper with every inhale and exhale.5.

    Welcome to "5 Minutes of Peace," your daily moment to reflect, recharge, and renew. Today's message, brought to you by The Peace Room, invites us to awaken something profound within ourselves.Children awaken our own sense of self when we see them hurting, struggling, or testing their boundaries. By watching their eyes and listening to their hearts, we come to realize that children are true gifts if we accept them. Kathleen Tierney Creeley reminds us of the invaluable lessons children offer through their fresh perspectives and unfiltered honesty.Children view the world with fresh eyes, unburdened by cynicism, and with open hearts. Their spontaneous reactions to life's events reflect their genuine selves. Observing children can help us see the unnecessary complexities we've added to our lives. Their simple honesty can guide us back to viewing the world with wonder, a byproduct of living by the principles of peace and mindfulness.By embracing these principles, we let go of the past's baggage and learn to live fully in the present. We come to trust in a power greater than ourselves that has everything under control. Children instinctively trust those who care for them, and we too can learn to trust again by applying these steps to our lives.Affirmation:"I will look to this day with wonder and trust. Everything is okay. I am in the care of a power greater than myself."Thank you for joining us for "5 Minutes of Peace."

    Welcome to 5 Minutes of Peace, a time for you to reflect, recharge, and renew. Today's reading is from "Practical Thinking" by Edward De Bono, exploring the multi-faceted nature of imagination. De Bono identifies four key aspects of imagination: picture vividness, number of alternatives, different perspectives, and creative imagination.1. Picture Vividness: This is the ability to imagine scenes and people with rich detail. Imagine your Aunt Emma so clearly that you can see her nose twitching, or recall a fishing harbor from a holiday with every boat vividly in place.2. Number of Alternatives: This involves generating multiple ways to approach a task, like cooking an egg. It's not just about knowledge but accessing it creatively to find numerous possibilities.3. Different Perspectives: Seeing things from various angles, like viewing a bottle as half full of milk, half empty, or a mix of milk and air, showcases the flexibility of thought.4. Creative Imagination: This is about fantasizing and creating new experiences by combining different elements, thus crafting something entirely unique.Imagination fuels creativity and helps avoid the trap of "unique rightness" where one believes their sole perspective is correct. It enhances thinking but isn't synonymous with creativity; it's an essential component.Thank you for sharing these moments of peace with us.

Saying things like, my hair looks so bad today, or does this top look okay? Because I think I look ugly. So I wrote this for all the girls:1. Wake up, pull yourself out of your bed then put on an outfit that fits all of the trends, so you're not the odd one out. 2. Put on some makeup. So you can fit in and feel confident in your own skin. You can't even recognize yourself at this point. 3. Go to school, just to feel like everyone is judging you at every second of the day. You are constantly getting told to cover up or show more skin. Be more confident in yourself. Your thinking to yourself will I ever be good enough?4. You must get good grades. But not perfect grades because then you are called a nerd. 5. Eat some food. Make sure it's not too much food or you will be called an animal. But if you eat too little you will be called skin and bones. Why am I not perfect?6. You're looking around at the other girls thinking to yourself, I wish I had her eyes, I wish I had her body, I wish I had her clothes, I wish more boys liked me, I wish I was her. 7. Do some form of exercise even if you don't feel like it, just so you can be comfortable in your own body. You don't even know what you're doing with your life. Will I ever be enough for this world? My brother once said “Give a compliment everyday, because you might just save someone's life.” Always remember that you are beautiful. And you are enough! They say that no one is perfect but you are your own perfect.
