You didn't include writing on your list! And you teach that in your seminar, though, maybe you don't put it quite that way? Natalie Goldberg covers this quite well in *Writing Down the Bones*.

You're so right. Writing and creative arts brings inner peace to many. My writing classes are certainly along those lines. I love Writing Down the Bones (written in Taos!).

Your thesis stands however! 🙂

Thank you for this epic peace that EVERYONE should read! I agree a thousand percent with this. That’s my belief too, that only when every human is well-rested - and at peace - we can truly heal the world, as one. Pax and Namaste. ✌🏻🕊️🙏🏻✨

Excellent list! Michael Singer is my boy right now, as you know. I will check out some of the others you mentioned.

Yes, yes, YES!! I, too have heard the criticism of not being angry at what is going on all around us. Not only is peace contagious but so is joy, serenity, and seeing what is good both in the world and with each other. And yes, meditation is different for everyone .... for me, simply sitting under an inky sky, or by a window, with the stars above my head, allows all that Is to sit with(and in) me. Thank you, Johanna, very much appreciate this piece. (and please give my love to the Mesa and the Mountain💖)
