How to be peaceful?

Dear all...THIS IS FOR ALL...

PEACE is the most important thing in life. Whatever we get in life by losing peace becomes meaningless!

If Peace is lost then physical health is lost. If peace is lost then mental health and social well-being also are lost!...If these are lost then what did we gain that is worth??

Peace is to do with the mind...Our mind!!...i.e how we PERCEIVE everything and everyone.

Our perception depends upon....

1. Our social, cultural and all sorts of learning (e.g faiths and beliefs of religion, language, caste etc also) that we have gathered since birth through all senses, experiences and stored in the brain.

2. What we feel is right, wrong, good, bad etc. What we believe. Our definition of everything.

3. The health of our brain. It depends upon how much oxygen we give, the state of secretion of neurotransmitters which decide our moods to do anything.

4. Wants and needs of the body and mind including expectations from us and others. The hormone secretion levels. Yoga helps to control and regulate these so that we don't get urges, cravings, frustration, anger and sadness and don't lose our control.

If we are not peaceful, then our perception is wrong in one or many of the above!...i.e our belief, or faith or culture or what we believe to be right or wrong or correct or incorrect is wrong!!...We have to find out which one of the above is the reason and change that to make positive perceptions which is actually right or correct for us!

1. Every one feels he/she is right and correct and others are only wrong in their everything or something. So, all of us are defective and therefore let us accept every one as they are, if we want them in our life!

2. We can not change our life situations. We want things to happen in some way. But Karma or Nature wants it to happen in some way. May be that is best for us and what we want may not be right for us!!...So, if it is within our hands we may correct it, change and check it out. If not/impossible/ or extremely difficult then it is better to accept and start liking the life situation.

3. Healthy food, life style habits keeps the brain and mind healthy to make the body and mind self-regulating and make positive perceptions. Yoga and meditation help.

4. Unlearn all those which spoils the peace and learn the correct ones suitable for you!

5. Pitch the life goals on acquiring of knowledge, wisdom, skills, personality traits/attributes and experience, being with Nature. If we get these we will get all those materialistic things that we look forward too!!

6. We need to perceive that entire earth is our place of living, we are created to enjoy this garden called 'earth' and all the people on earth are our brothers and sisters!

Anything i missed out??

Peacefully yours...rams...
