It reads, <em>\u201d My mission is to be a conduit of peace, to live a peaceful life through love and understanding.\u00a0 I do this by always seeking to understand others, by keeping my mind open to all possibilities and ideas and by respecting all forms of life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t think about this statement, I didn&#8217;t ponder or even edit.\u00a0 This mission literally flowed through the\u00a0ether\u00a0and out into my hands.\u00a0 It was not of my ego&#8230;it was from my soul or higher self.<\/p>\n<p>I always know when something is flowing from my soul as it feels as if it is channeled.\u00a0 No thought goes into it and it doesn&#8217;t require any editing.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about this mission statement and the path my life has taken I see that it all makes sense.\u00a0 My work with the animals is about creating peace for the animals by helping their people understand what they need, how they feel and why they do what they do.\u00a0 The communication often creates peace within the family when the animals understand what the humans want and vice versa.\u00a0 And on a larger scale, when we humans begin to treat all animals (and other life) with love and respect we also begin treating each other that way.<\/p>\n<p>Working with highly sensitive empaths and abuse survivors is also about creating peace by helping them understand and manage their sensitivities and by helping them embrace their intuitive gifts so that they can hear their guidance and bring their special gifts to the world.<\/p>\n<p>For me personally, I have always wanted peace within.\u00a0 \u201cDear God, grant me peace\u201d has been a common prayer for me.\u00a0 When you have experienced a traumatic childhood, peace is important.\u00a0 Peace represents safety.<\/p>\n<p>True peace is something you create within your own mind and is not dependent upon your outer circumstances.\u00a0 Often, the peace we seek is from our own mind, that monkey mind with its critical thoughts, spinning stories about the events in our life.\u00a0 When we begin to harness that mind and understand how it operates, we begin to create peace.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not something someone else can do for you, but it is something that can be taught.<\/p>\n<p>Seeking peace is also common if you are a highly sensitive empath.\u00a0 Constantly feeling the energy around you creates chaos and you crave peace.\u00a0 You want the anxiety to lessen.\u00a0 You want the constant bombardment of others energy to cease.\u00a0 And it can when you learn to manage your energy body.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I want you to know peace is attainable.\u00a0 It is possible to create a sense of peace from within&#8230;to control your thoughts and direct them in a way that brings you peace.\u00a0 It is also possible to create peace within your energy body so that you are less affected by others. \u00a0One way to learn this is through my <a href=\"https:\/\/wendywolfe.com\/phoenix-rising\/about-phoenix-rising\/\">Phoenix Rising<\/a> teachings. \u00a0There is a class scheduled for the Madison area on December 1st. \u00a0Early registration ends this Friday so check it out <a href=\"https:\/\/wendywolfe.com\/phoenix-rising\/about-phoenix-rising\/\">here<\/a> if you too crave peace.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, when you create peace within you are doing the most powerful thing possible to create peace in our world.\u00a0 \u00a0As Mahatma Ghandi said, \u201cBe the change that you wish to see in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I\u2019m writing from my hotel room in Asheville, North Carolina.\u00a0 I\u2019m here with my amazing business coach, Christine
