War And Peace: An Inner Landscape - a podcast by Ella Gibbins

“War and Peace: An Inner Landscape”

Over time I have come to understand that war and peace starts from within - from and by the emotional way we see ourselves, or see life.

I would like to share a passage I wrote to myself just a few months back:

“I became conscious that for all my energetic fears, the emotional and energetic war zone within me created that which is without me - so the “bombs” of losing a house or losing that financial security.

Being raised in an emotional war zone made me carry that experience with me.

I felt then it was a long way ‘home’ externally but it was really an internal journey to see that I was never far from home - the peace in my love found through meditation.”

I have been on a journey over the course of this year seeking financial security, stability, and my own beautiful home to live in.

But over time what I came to realise is that what I was truly looking for was ‘inner security’ - a sense of belonging (here and in the greater scope), a sense of purpose (service to the whole), a sense of love, compassion, and respect - to be accepted and honoured for who I am, and a sense of place (that these emotions can be felt no matter where I go).

I was looking for that peace within.

We live in a warring society (whether that be manifested as physical war overseas) or manifested as emotional war in our own families and neighbourhoods. And we have grown up with a ‘learned mistrust’ of others.

Over time I have come to feel this is where our warring society has begun - from that sense of cultivated mistrust - for it encourages us to feel a ‘learned mistrust’ of our own sense of belonging within.

In this episode I talk about where it all starts: with emotional war within (judging ourselves) and how we then project it outward by judging, blaming, or guilting others - these energies then flowing onward through all our society creating 'emotional and political war' and ultimately 'physical war'.

I’ve recently completed a training in Non-Violent Communication which supported me in accessing that connection to what I truly need in challenging situations which is a deep connection to compassion, belonging, and personal security which allows me to respond from a more harmonious place.

For as challenging as our lives can be sometimes, I have really learned (I am really learning) that “it is not about where you are, but who you are being”.

For once you truly start to cultivate a place of belonging within yourself - then that energetically ripples outward until opportunities to feel that sense of belonging, compassion, and home are reflected all around you.

I look forward to joining you - an episode all about that landscape we've cultivated within - a landscape of war or peace or ultimately that space for belonging.
