tranquility
Peaceful mental state
Tranquility is a state of calm, peace, and freedom from disturbance.
It suggests stillness both external and internal—a quiet lake has tranquility, as does a mind free from anxiety.
The tranquility of the countryside was a welcome change from city life.
The word often appears in contexts of meditation, nature, or escape from stress.
