I Find Peace Like This
From the older days when chivalry and courage meant going to to war and mightiest slaying their opponents, retreats meant more than defeat. Those were the deadliest of all times and often the head of a military unit, often called the military commander, when he deemed fit, would command his soldiers to retreat.
The enjoyment is exactly in the search, not at the end of it.
E.Ā Safarli.
Young peopleĀ from 15 countries will come together to enjoy inner peace time in beautiful Rustavi, Georgia. Bridge fellowship willĀ involve participants from the countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasus region, and Central Asia.
I am sitting motionless in the middle of nowhere. It seems that I have no body, I am just an embryo still attached to the Universe by an invisible cord. I am embraced by silence and emptiness, floating in the dark peaceful ocean.
Many of the Peace Revolution guided sessions finish with a loving-kindness meditation. I feel happy and silently excited during this moment. The idea is to garner enough peace energy to share the love, joy, kindness with communities and the greater world. Practicing loving-kindnessĀ makes a person open to use it on a daily basis in real life, be kinder, more mindful, in the everyday human interactions.
Itās certainly not a coincidence that both the words āmedicineā and āmeditationā come from the same etymological root: the Greek prefix āmedā, which alludes to a medium point in between two opposites or, in other words, to that subtle state of balance we hear so much about in health blogs and yoga lessons but rarely get the chance to truly interiorize.Ā In this brief post Iāll share my experience of meditation as the most effective, universal and low-cost medicine I have ever tried.
