A state of being that, at least until very recently, I have taken to be the whole point of Jesus’ teaching. From here:
Attributes of peace of mind:
unusual relaxation of the lower abdomen, from the navel to the groin
a sense of warmth in the same area
corresponding relaxation of the diaphragm, enabling exceptionally deep breaths and corresponding relaxation of the whole body
complete presence — attention to the material here-and-now
complete acceptance of, or peace with, oneself
complete acceptance of, or peace with, What Is — the world as it is
When this state occurs, I normally wind up thinking, “This is it. This is the best. Everyone should have this. If there were a gift I could give every human being, this would be it.”
