The most valuable commodity on Earth is peace of mind. If we have peace of mind, then we are open to happiness. With peace of mind, stress dissolves away. It is a proven scientific fact, that our bodies are healthier and more resistant to disease if we have a positive frame of mind. Our immune system is stronger and we wear the armor of life that allows us to live in a chaotic world where we have the weapons to battle stressors.The first step to peace of mind is tranquility. Buddhism discovered this with meditation and the yogic exercises designed to clear the mind.
Tranquility is a learned skill. Our minds are very very active. We must master the stream of consciousness and direct it to tranquility. Once our minds are tranquil, then they are receptive to peace, happiness and enlightenment. Meditation is the first step to tranquility, and exercise is the keystone.
