Safety, Dreams and Peace of Mind (Originally published on SpokaneFavs)
How good we feel when we wake up is correlated with how well we sleep and the contents of our dreams. How well we sleep and dream is related to our peace of mind and level of anxiety. Recent research put it this way, “Waking mental well-being is assumed to be tightly linked to sleep and the affective content of dreams. Healthy participants completed a well-being questionnaire, followed by a three-week daily dream diary and ratings of dream affect [positive or negative]. Multilevel analyses showed that peace of mind was related to positive dream affect, whereas symptoms of anxiety were related to negative dream affect. We propose that whereas anxiety may reflect affect dysregulation [imbalance] in waking and dreaming, peace of mind reflects enhanced affect regulation in both states of consciousness. Finally, our study shows that peace of mind complements existing conceptualizations and measures of well-being.” (Sikka, P., H. Pesonen, et al. (2018). "Peace of mind and anxiety in the waking state are related to the affective content of dreams." Sci Rep 8(1): 12762. [Full Text] https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-30721-1.pdf This idea of a correlation between sleep, well being and peace is reflected in several languages including Lango, a Southern Luo dialect spoken by the Lango people of Uganda and the Sudan. Here are some words for peace in Lango: "Kuc" (peace) "Kuch" (to be quiet, to be at peace), "Kweo" (to make cool, to pacify), "Ayom" (soft, peaceful), "Morembe Ayom" (greeting), and "Buti Ayom" (sleep softly, well). Sleep Peacefully In the Lango language of Uganda and Sudan “ayom” means soft and peaceful "buti ayom" is to sleep softly and well “morembe ayom" is a greeting a wish of peace for the morning of well being after sleeping softly Another Lango word "kuc" means peace "kuch" is to be quiet to be at peace both words correlating peace and quiet may we each experience “ayom” and “kuc” peace, sleep and well being In Bambara another language of Africa sleep and peace are correlated more directly in a common morning greeting. "Hèrè " and "Errébé" mean peace in this language of Mali. Sleep Peaceful Good Morning In Bambara, the language of Mali in West Africa the way you say good morning "Hèrè sira wa?" means did you sleep in peace often the answer is "hèrè dogon" or peace only Similar in the Dyula of West Africa did you sleep in peace? is "hèrè sirawa?" and peace only is "hèrè dron" Try this. Each morning for a few days, wake up and say to yourself out loud or to another person, "Good morning Peace!" in English or another language. In your mind and with your words, frame your day as one with peaceful relationships intertwines with inner peace. A common northern Somali greeting is “Ma nahad baa” or “is there peace.” In Somali spoken in Somalia, Djibouti, and Ethiopia, the word for peace is “Nabáda.” “Nabadda maanka” is peace of mind. Found Poetry The following poem is what is called a found poem, meaning the words were found in an essay or some other form of writing then teased out to create a poem. The order of the words can be changes in the process and sometimes the whole meaning of the essay can be different in the poem. Sometimes a found poem distills the words already written on a page, up to their essence. This is also what is known as a Persona poem or a poem written by a poet but from another person’s point of view. Trying literally to walk in another person’s words or trying to share another’s point of view while inhabiting their own body and experience. Mohamed Maine Seed The proud son of Somali immigrants traversed oceans and continents to escape brutal civil war seeking the American dream for themselves and their children enduring hardships discrimination, poverty and violence struggling to understand who I am where do I belong we were too Somali too Muslim Black Foreign the American Dream out of reach but incredible friends and mentors pushed me to think otherwise I have a place in this country with good people including diversity and the freedom to be who you are in a better place I hope one day to welcome the schoolgirl from Syria the young entrepreneur from Iraq the old poet from Somalia where we have a Somali proverb when we see injustice “Dhiiga kuma dhaqaaqo?” “Does your blood not move?” I am moved. Capturing a similar dream for all Africa, Nelson Mandela said, “I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.” May we all find peace as we sleep, dream, and in all our waking hours with the help of words from our own native tongue and the African languages of Lango, Bambara, and Somalia. Sleep Peaceful Good Morning In Bambara, the language of Mali in West Africa the way you say good morning "Hèrè sira wa?" means did you sleep in peace often the answer is "hèrè dogon" or peace only Similar in the Dyula of West Africa did you sleep in peace? is "hèrè sirawa?" and peace only is "hèrè dron" Exercise Each morning for a few days wake up and say to yourself or out loud or to another person, "Good morning Peace!" in English or another language. In your mind and with your words, frame your day as one with peaceful relationships and inner peace. Originally posted on SpokaneFavs: Safety, Dreams and Peace of Mind ...

"Nagaya" is peace in Afar, also known as Oromo, a language of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Kenya, East Africa, and the Horn of Africa. A common greeting is “bultiin isaanii nagaya?” (is your night peaceful?) to which the common answer is "nagaa keessa walgarra" (we see one another in peace). Think about how you greet people and how you respond to their questions about your sleep, your health, your mood, etc.

Susan Ives plans to save the world and create world peace with whirled peas, the title of her vegan cook book.
"Cooking and sharing vegan meals is a spiritual practice of mindfulness and compassion. It is sometimes hard to remember that food is made of air, water, sun and soil; it is hard to remember the labor of the bees, the birds and the farmers; it is hard to remember the very miracle of food when it comes from a box, a can or a take-out window. It is hard to remember that a cow or a pig or a chicken or a salmon was a living, breathing sentient creature when we purchase a shrink-wrapped, sanitized Styrofoam tray in a grocery store. The discipline of preparing fresh food reconnects us with the earth. The discipline of preparing a meal free of animals products is a reminder of our special connection with all other thinking and feeling beings. This book contains 116 recipes that will inspire you to create peace, salad, compassion, potatoes, courage, soup and community." - Susan Ives.
