Hi, and welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.
Today, I'm going to talk about
the idea of inner peace activism.
So when we look at human history,
we can see that there's been so
much war and injustice, so much
human suffering as a result.
In current news headlines, we hear
reports of conflicts still happening
in so many parts of the world.
And scrolling through social media,
we see groups of people with different
viewpoints being really aggressive
towards each other, creating greater
division and polarization in the world.
When we see all of this, we can
feel a bit helpless and overwhelmed.
We may think that there's
nothing that we can do.
We might think that we don't
play a part in all of this, that
we're not contributing to it.
But the reality is, is that we can
play our own part in bringing more
wisdom and compassion, understanding,
love, and peace into the world.
And when we do that, we are contributing
to the end of conflict and bringing
about peace in the world in some way.
Now, of course, this doesn't mean that
it's necessarily going to magically end
the civil war or in a particular area.
But ending the wars in our own
mind, the hate, the greed, the
aggression, the righteousness, the
judgements, the reactivity and ending
the conflicts in our own lives.
You know, the arguments, the
blaming, the shaming, the criticism,
the harsh social media posts.
And any behavior that, you know, harms
or even supporting groups of people
or companies, politicians that cause
harm to people, places, or the planet.
All of this has a significant
and critical impact in the world.
In fact, it's my belief that we,
as a humanity, cannot hope to
experience peace in the world if
we do not learn each, one of us, to
find peace in our own mind and life.
Outer conflicts arise from
inner conflicts, from our
state of consciousness.
And as within, so without.
So when you see conflict in the
world, rather than feeling helpless or
hopeless, let it inspire you to channel
your energy into inner peace activism.
By training the mind to incline
towards peace, presence and compassion,
we stop creating conflict in the
world within us and all around us.
And we become an island of sanity and
love in a sometimes frantic world.
And in this way, we don't just transform
our own lives, but that peace ripples
out and touches everyone in our lives
and really ripples out into the world.
As Gandhi once said, "We begin to
be the change we want to see in
the world and what could be a more
valuable contribution than that."
As always, thank you for your practice and
for your presence here in this community.
And let's settle in now
for today's meditation.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
