But that helps no one. Change really does come from within, so keeping your attention within will not only help you tap into a state of inner peace, but it will also, believe it or not, help the world.\u00a0 The changes we see inside ourselves ripple out to help change the world. Place your attention in your heart space and imagine that you are breathing in and out through your heart.\u00a0 This small act alone will connect you and create inner peace.\u00a0 This card asks you to not only find inner peace, but also live in it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Your Child<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our children\u2019s lives can be filled with great disturbances that we as parents can overlook.\u00a0 Struggles with friends, new schedules and the stresses of our own family dynamics, whether spoken or unspoken, are just a few examples of turbulence that can rock our children\u2019s worlds.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve drawn the Inner Peace card for your child, pay extra attention to the nature of the influences in his life. Talk about the things that are happening in his life. By encouraging discussion you will teach him to put words to his feelings and emotions and build a base of comfort and trust around sharing things with you. Help him find inner peace by focusing on his heart space and imagining that he is breathing in and out through his heart. Having him place his hand over his heart to feel the \u201cup and down\u201d created by his breath can further deepen his understanding of the idea of \u201cbreathing in and out through the heart.\u201d Also consider introducing him to meditation, yoga, or other activities that will help him bring his attention within and find inner peace.<\/p>\n<p>Inner Peace Card #1 in The Conscious Living Wisdom Cards (Special Moms\u2019 Edition), Illustrated by Samantha Bachechi, Creative Medium LTD (C) 2010-2012 Conscious Living Unlimited LLC<\/p>\n<p>**A note about The Conscious Living Guide Wisdom Cards (Special Moms\u2019 Edition): There are 42 cards in the deck and a guide book.
