Meditation and mindfulness can benefit us in ways we’ve never imagined, including better sleep, increased productivity and general happiness all around! Lately, there seems to be a lot more information being shared on how to go about finding inner peace. Whether you seek out books or speak to those with experience, guides to finding inner peace are more accessible than ever before. Issues that may have once been answered with “work harder” or “try this new trend,” are more and more often now resolved by ancient methods of finding calm, happiness and peace that have more to do with our inner thoughts and sense of balance than any external factors.

Of course, just because we can easily figure out how to grasp inner peace doesn’t mean we always know just what it is we’re looking for. Even if we do, it’s easy to lose sight of a goal that can take discipline and practice to achieve. These mere mortals have had a taste of what it is we’re all aiming for, and it’s clear from their descriptions that inner peace is worth the wait…

The Peak Potentials organization recently asked several high-earning individuals what peace felt like, and set their answers, all listed above, to music. Even without the digital effects, imagining these feelings is uplifting, and the music only adds to the feeling of…well…peace.
