Yoga London, welcome to my blog – and thanks for sharing your tip to get inner peace.

Hi Arvind – Great idea for a post. One thing that’s really helped me comes from some advice in one of Gary Renard’s books (I think it was “The Disappearance Of The Universe”). It goes something along the lines of…the world won’t experience peace until we each have inner peace. For me, that involves closing my eyes each morning, stilling my mind and beginning the day from a position of centeredness and peace.

Jai – in Robert Holden’s new book there is a detailed section on the benefits of gratitude.

I will be writing a post about my learnings soon but a key exercise he suggests is “The One Hundred Gratitudes” exercise in which you write down 100 things you are grateful for in your life.

I will be doing this exercise over the next week and will post an article about my experiences.

Simply write down 10 to 15 things every day until you have reached your 100.

Thanks Wee Peng Ho for your lovely feedback.

I do believe that more and more people are waking up to greater compassion and generosity – and in the meantime it is up to people like you to shine their light:-)

Another great post and a good reminder for myself. The gratitude journal is such an amazing tool – also saying affirmations that begin with “I appreciate…..”

Thanks Krishna – and I am glad that my post has inspired you to meditate more regularly.

But surely with a name like Krishna, you must be in an elevated state all the time?!

Thanks for the timely article, Arvind. Suzy’s tips make a lot of sense. But most people would find it a challenge to put them into practice, especially in developing greater compassion and generosity.

I guess for those of us who are concerned about peace and have the opportunity to contemplate on such issue, we’ve to continue to remind people (like the way you did in this post), and to think of better ways to elevate readers’ consciousness beyond that of their own.

Well-done, Arvind.

This is a wonderful post, Arvind. The gratitude journal is a very powerful pointer. People usually use journaling to bring out their frustrations, but focusing on our blessings is so much more powerful. Also, your post has inspired me to start being much more regular in my meditation. As the Mahatma has said “Be the change you want to see in the world…”.

Cheers,
Krishna

Patrick, great reminder that one has to have self-love for others to love you and to bring more love into our lives.

What I am learning is that you have to be more of what you want e.g. loving or peaceful or joyous or happy to have more of the same in your life.

Here’s to a loving and peaceful world.

Arvind, I love this post.

realizing peace with yourself is indeed the cornerstone. If you are at peace with yourself, then the peace with others will come into place automatically. It is the same as with “Love thyself” is a prerequisite to “Love others”.

Great you mentioned the Gratitude Journal. It is indeed a fantastic tool and I have mentioned it a while back on my blog as the best way for learning to love yourself.

Peace for you and all people around you.

Thanks Charley for your kind feedback and for sharing this article with your readers.

I do find that the more yuo give, the more you get back.

At the same time, we must be open to receiving as if we were all just giving, who would do the receiving?!

Brilliant article, Arvind. I find the Gratitude journal and the focus on giving, not getting to be particularly powerful. If we all focused on this, the world would miraculously change. And as a bonus, you’ll find that the Universe responds in kind with your giving nature. I’ll be sharing this article with my readers this week.

Cheers,

Charley
