I was thinking about babies while I wrote this issue. This is because the topic today is inner peace. There are no other human beings that came across my mind like babies. On this issue, we will navigate on what is inner peace and steps on how to get to a place where we experience inner peace. Babies are always in a state of inner peace. Only, when they experience pain, discomfort or uneasiness that they cry as a signal to the care givers so that they can be in the state of inner peace. Especially sleeping babies, they are in that state of inner peace despite what is happening in their surroundings.
For a baby, it doesn’t matter what is happening it is always in a state of inner peace. And weren’t we all babies. So, we can all agree that for once in life, we have been in a state of inner peace. But where did we lose it? Growing up we began having dreams and mostly fascination. We began believing that once we get to a new class, new school, new age, new car, new friends and new homes we would go back to this place of experiencing inner peace. However, as life unfolds we’ve had an opportunity to get a new thing but ended up not achieving inner peace but rather wanting more. This leads me to my next question, if you had all you wanted in life would you have what you really want?
Esther shares her journey on having inner peace on the next section and we get to discover amazing uses of salt on teach us something as well as shares some steps of getting out of your suffering to a place of inner peace as life unfolds.

I leant about Alabastron from my internship. It did not make sense for me because I thought it was for women with issues. I thought that my issues were minor. Through the program, I began opening up as the process you get to meet with the deepest self of your entire existence. This sharing gave me a sense of calm and I would feel safe.
I began having the confidence to open up about issues that hurt me. My relationship with my mother was strenuous as she would share intimate matters in regard to my father that I felt drained. However she would always tell me that I am a firstborn hence I will have to endure what she was sharing with me. It left me feeling violated, helpless and disturbed. These words I had been hearing since my childhood.
“You are a firstborn. You must mature so that your siblings have someone to look up to.”
“You are a firstborn. You must mature so that your siblings have someone to look up to.”
These words forced me to always live up to standards and life perspective of other people in my life. I would end up feeling powerless and timid. This would show up in how I was working even on tasks on my area of competence. I was always defensive when receiving feedback with an intention to prove the other person wrong. I would lose my voice in some instances hence I was not able to speak out my opinions and ideas.
Did you know that there is a difference between pain and suffering?
Yes, there is a difference between pain and suffering. Google shows that, pain is the moment in which we experience discomfort or hardship in life. For example; when one body part is aching in this case a tooth. Suffering is the explanation of the state of the pain you are in. Using the same example, it is allowing yourself to believe that the pain I am about to feel from this injection is out of this world. Pain is the physical experience while suffering is the interpretation of this pain. So then we can say, pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.
Alabastron is interested in both your pain and suffering. Alabastron guides you on how to process pain so that you are healed from the experience. It also, equips you with life tools so that you are able to use your response correctly to avoid suffering in life. This way you can begin experiencing inner peace! The Orientation Class on Friday 11th October at All Saints Cathedral is open to all women to come begin this journey. To confirm a slot click HERE

Francisco Ngigi, shares with us a natural remedy to retaining a soft sore that looks beautiful in open shoes. She says.
