peace

"Don’t seek peace only when things are calm—seek it in the midst of chaos. That’s where true peace lives. Peace is always available, because peace is not outside of you. You are peace." Marine Sélénée

How often have we said, “I want peace” or “I just want to feel at peace”… yet it feels out of reach?

Life’s constant motion—its highs and lows, routines, relationships, and the state of the world—can make peace feel like a distant dream.

In constellations, we’ve seen time and time again how peace is something we bring back into the family system. For generations, many families have lived without it—survival, anger, rage, even abuse took its place. Peace wasn’t an option. It wasn’t modeled. It wasn’t safe.

So here we are, yearning for peace, imagining we must become monks or meditate for six hours a day to access it. But the truth is: peace can be found in any moment—and the best news is that you already have the power to choose it.

Peace is a decision. A conscious act. And more than anything, peace is deeply connected to acceptance. Because what is peace, really? It’s a feeling of ease. Lightness. The absence of inner tension or spiraling thoughts. It’s alignment—within yourself. And if you can find even a glimpse of that alignment in the middle of a storm, you are a peaceful person.

How do we practice peace? By accepting our current reality. By trusting we are where we’re meant to be—without questioning or resisting. It means making peace with our past, our childhood, our parents. It means making peace with our partner—accepting them as they are. Peace comes with acceptance. And acceptance brings peace.

Peace is disturbed the moment we try to fix, force, or fight. But when we pause, take a step back, and see the bigger picture—even if we can’t change our circumstances—we reclaim the power to find peace within. 

Right now, the world is deep in uncertainty. And for many, especially the sensitive ones, this feels unsettling. But practicing gratitude, acceptance, and daily moments of peace can help you navigate it all with more strength and grace.

I’ll be on vacation from August 26 to September 9, so if you’d like to explore peace together before then—or bring it back into your family system—I’m here. If you're ready to make peace with your relationship to food and your body, the Revive program is a beautiful path toward that.

And if we don’t connect this summer, I’m sending you warm wishes for a nourishing time with the people you love most.

With love,
Marine Sélénée
