  • Use the Serenity Prayer to find peace amidst chaos.
  • Focus on positive developments while keeping an open heart.
  • Recognise that most people are loving and supportive.
  • Practice heart-opening exercises to stay connected.
  • Understand that it's not your job to handle all the world's suffering.
It is not my job to become more strong emotionally so that I can look at more of the suffering of the world. It is my job to be an example of having worked out the suffering in my inner world and then to live as light.
In this episode of 'In The Circle', Tommy Rosen sits down with Elizabeth to tackle a question that's more relevant now than ever: How can one stay spiritual during times of war and conflict? With the constant barrage of distressing news, many find themselves feeling lost, sad, and overwhelmed. Tommy and Elizabeth dive into the Serenity Prayer as a tool for maintaining inner peace amidst external chaos.
They explore how to focus on positive developments while keeping an open heart, even when the world seems dark. Elizabeth shares her struggle with feeling separate from the world due to its suffering and how she uses heart-opening practices to stay connected. Tommy emphasises that our job isn't to become emotionally stronger to handle more suffering but to work through our own inner struggles and live as an example of light.
He reminds us that most people in the world are actually in the light, loving, and wanting others to succeed, even though this doesn't make the news. The episode offers a heartfelt discussion on how to maintain spirituality and compassion without being consumed by the world's pain. It's a must-listen for anyone feeling the weight of current events and looking for ways to stay spiritually grounded.
