In this episode, Brownell Landrum, author of *The End, A Love Story to the Universe*, and the *We Meet Again* trilogy, guides us through a powerful meditation to clear negative energies and uplift our spirits. Brownell explains how everything is made of energy, and while some energies, like love, elevate us, others can bring us down.
Using a guided visualization with a special âlight beam,â Brownell helps us locate and bind all forms of negative influencesâwhether itâs low vibrations, disruptive forces, or even âenergy vampires.â This meditation offers a transformative release, leaving you feeling lighter and more empowered. The process encourages releasing these energies into the light to be repolarized into positive forces.

âLove & Gratitudeâ is a song born from a place of deep reflection and positivity. Cherylann shares, âI received a call some time ago from a friend who had moved to Nashville to work for a record company. He had taken on a new female country artist and needed more songs for her to release. This call happened during a time when I had begun to practice finding gratitude in everything I encountered, so I decided to write a country song. The Beatles said âAll You Need is Love,â and I decided to add a little gratitude to that statement.â Though the country artist ultimately moved on from Nashville, Cherylann was left with a song that has since become her personal mantra.

In this episode of *5 MINUTES OF PEACE*, Ambika Devi guides you through a grounding meditation designed to connect you with the earth and fill you with a renewed sense of vitality.
As you walk, Ambika encourages you to focus on the sensation of your feet meeting the ground, drawing energy from the earth through the "bubbling spring" points. This life force flows up through your legs, hips, and torso, eventually reaching out towards the sky with gratitude.
As you continue walking, your awareness expands to the elements around youâearth, air, fire, and waterâeach one contributing to your sense of stability, breath, warmth, and rhythm. Ambika invites you to tune into the sounds, smells, and sights of your environment, deepening your connection to the world around you.
By the end of this meditation, you'll feel fully grounded, with sharpened awareness and a peaceful sense of blissful manifestation. Let your creativity flow as you boldly and peacefully move into your future.

Welcome to 5 Minutes of Peace, a time for you to reflect, recharge, and renew. Created by ThePeaceRoom, this is a space for you to find love and tranquility. Here is today's message for you.
Today's Oracle Card Reading: Archangel Chamuel
From the *Archangel Oracle Cards Guidebook* by Diana Cooper.
Open your heart to give and receive love. Your essence is love.
Archangel Chamuel, the beautiful white and pink angel of love, invites you to connect with his energy. Chamuel overlights Central and South America and the Caribbean. He helps you explore the 33 chambers of your heart's chakra and connect your heart center to Venus, the cosmic heart. This connection allows you to receive pure transcendent light and the frequency of unconditional acceptance.
Guidance: Reevaluate all your relationships with the eyes of love. Open your heart to everyone, especially those who are challenging. By accepting them as they are, your heart chakra radiates a glorious white pink light, making your aura warm and inviting. People will respond to you differently when you emanate this energy. Look at personal and world situations with a wise, compassionate heart. Avoid entering into dramas in thought, word, or deed. Instead, ask Archangel Chamuel to help you raise the vibrations of lower situations with the power of your heart energy.
Your heart is your most important spiritual center. Connect with Archangel Shamuel to attract loving and gracious situations into your life.
Thank you for listening and taking this time for yourself. Remember, we are all connected on the path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others. We are glad to be together with you on this journey.

Welcome to 5 Minutes of Peace, a podcast created by The Peace Room to help you reflect, recharge, and renew. Todayâs message explores the power of acknowledging and accepting our emotions.
In this episode, we delve into how unresolved anger and other emotions can conquer us if not addressed. Emotions need both recognition and acceptance, as they are powerful aspects of our being. By giving respectful attention to our feelingsâwhether they are fear, anger, or jealousyâwe can diminish their intensity and prevent them from overwhelming us.
Ignoring emotions can cause them to grow and become more intense, much like a child demanding attention. Instead, acknowledging our emotions enriches our experiences and serves as a guidepost on our journey. How we feel reflects our security, our connection to a higher power, and our commitment to our personal growth.
Our emotions are always present, steering our behavior and reflecting our attitudes. They can indicate how close we are to our spiritual path. By recognizing our feelings, we can use them to guide us towards peace and connection.
Thank you for joining us for this episode. For more information about The Peace Roomâs services, including Reiki treatments and workshops, visit www.thepeaceroom.love. Join us again whenever you need 5 minutes of peace.

In today's episode of "5 Minutes of Peace," Tarak Uday shares the transformative power of the long breath technique.
This practice is designed to connect you with your spirit and alleviate negative emotions by using slow, deep breaths. Tarak explains that the word "spirit" originates from the Greek word "spiritus" and the Latin word "spirare," both meaning breath, highlighting the deep connection between breath and our spiritual essence.
The long breath technique works by removing the energetic charge from negative emotions, allowing them to dissipate. Depending on the intensity of the emotion, you might need to practice for five minutes or more, but often just a few long breaths can make a significant difference.
Breathing Exercise Instructions:
1. Inhale slowly, taking a long, deep breath.
2. Exhale without holding the breath, letting it out slowly.
3. Repeat, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly.
4. Focus on stretching each breath longer and deeper with every inhale and exhale.
5. If your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back to your breath.
This simple yet profound exercise can help you return to a state of balance whenever you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or sad. Tarak emphasizes that the long breath is a powerful tool to center yourself and connect with your inner peace.

Welcome to "5 Minutes of Peace," your daily moment to reflect, recharge, and renew. Todayâs message, brought to you by The Peace Room, invites us to awaken something profound within ourselves.
Children awaken our own sense of self when we see them hurting, struggling, or testing their boundaries. By watching their eyes and listening to their hearts, we come to realize that children are true gifts if we accept them. Kathleen Tierney Creeley reminds us of the invaluable lessons children offer through their fresh perspectives and unfiltered honesty.
Children view the world with fresh eyes, unburdened by cynicism, and with open hearts. Their spontaneous reactions to life's events reflect their genuine selves. Observing children can help us see the unnecessary complexities we've added to our lives. Their simple honesty can guide us back to viewing the world with wonder, a byproduct of living by the principles of peace and mindfulness.
By embracing these principles, we let go of the past's baggage and learn to live fully in the present. We come to trust in a power greater than ourselves that has everything under control. Children instinctively trust those who care for them, and we too can learn to trust again by applying these steps to our lives.
Affirmation:
"I will look to this day with wonder and trust. Everything is okay. I am in the care of a power greater than myself."
Thank you for joining us for "5 Minutes of Peace." Remember, we are all connected on the path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.

Welcome to 5 Minutes of Peace, a time for you to reflect, recharge, and renew. Todayâs reading is from "Practical Thinking" by Edward De Bono, exploring the multi-faceted nature of imagination. De Bono identifies four key aspects of imagination: picture vividness, number of alternatives, different perspectives, and creative imagination.
1. Picture Vividness: This is the ability to imagine scenes and people with rich detail. Imagine your Aunt Emma so clearly that you can see her nose twitching, or recall a fishing harbor from a holiday with every boat vividly in place.
2. Number of Alternatives: This involves generating multiple ways to approach a task, like cooking an egg. Itâs not just about knowledge but accessing it creatively to find numerous possibilities.
3. Different Perspectives: Seeing things from various angles, like viewing a bottle as half full of milk, half empty, or a mix of milk and air, showcases the flexibility of thought.
4. Creative Imagination: This is about fantasizing and creating new experiences by combining different elements, thus crafting something entirely unique.
Imagination fuels creativity and helps avoid the trap of "unique rightness" where one believes their sole perspective is correct. It enhances thinking but isn't synonymous with creativity; itâs an essential component.

Today's guest is Coco Fleming, who shares her original poem, "Expectations" about the thoughts of teenage girls.
Expectations
By: Coco Fleming
Every day I overhear girls talking negatively about themselves. Saying things like, my hair looks so bad today, or does this top look okay? Because I think I look ugly. So I wrote this for all the girls:
1. Wake up, pull yourself out of your bed then put on an outfit that fits all of the trends, so you're not the odd one out.
2. Put on some makeup. So you can fit in and feel confident in your own skin. You canât even recognize yourself at this point.
3. Go to school, just to feel like everyone is judging you at every second of the day. You are constantly getting told to cover up or show more skin. Be more confident in yourself. Your thinking to yourself will I ever be good enough?
4. You must get good grades. But not perfect grades because then you are called a nerd.
5. Eat some food. Make sure itâs not too much food or you will be called an animal. But if you eat too little you will be called skin and bones. Why am I not perfect?
6. You're looking around at the other girls thinking to yourself, I wish I had her eyes, I wish I had her body, I wish I had her clothes, I wish more boys liked me, I wish I was her.
7. Do some form of exercise even if you donât feel like it, just so you can be comfortable in your own body. You don't even know what you're doing with your life. Will I ever be enough for this world? My brother once said âGive a compliment everyday, because you might just save someone's life.â Always remember that you are beautiful. And you are enough! They say that no one is perfect but you are your own perfect.
