The Peace Revolution Project was started in 2008 when someone pretty cool decided to start talking to the world about what he believed: Inner Peace can lead to World Peace, if people could just learn how to find inner peace for themselves! He got together with some other people who believed the same thing... and, well, here we are!

So... we have invented what we think is a chill way to have some fun with inner peace... aka meditation. We taped some meditation experts and you can check them out on MP3s; you can learn more about what inner peace really is; you can take a few fun quizzes; and then, if you want to get serious, you can do an on-line self-development program. You can even post questions on our Peace Wall for our online community. So hang back, and cruise the site. It's the best place to be.

Inner Peace @ Home

Mar 11, 2010

Bernardo Neves says:

OPS Name

Inner Peace @ Home

Why this OPS?

I think that the good deeds should start at home, where they are frequently needed. To have a peaceful environment at home is a good start to start spreading the peace to the rest of the world.

Objectives

To formalize the meditation "advertising" I've done among my family and friends, and to support those who may be truly interested in practing it further.

How to implement it?

I'm implementing it by simply arranging a gathering of my close relatives and some friends and acquaintances, in my house or in theirs. Then we get to talk, to get to know what are each one expects or think about meditating, and then proceed to the practice itself.

Benefits

Sharing all the good experiences I've had so for, maybe inspiring others to start meditating on a daily basis. It may be also useful as a training for me to learn how to explain and teach about the basics I've learned about meditation.

Hi Bernardo

How nice to see your Peace in action!! As you say, starting at home is very important and sometimes not so easy!

Thank you for sharing this picture with us, congratulations!!

PIPO!

Bernardo Neves says:

Thanks for the support and comments, Jamaree, Anita, and Ursula!

I was kind of embarassed by the simplicity of the Project, much smaller than the ideas I had before. Nevertheless, I guess it's a good start(although I started kind of late)!

As I'm meeting other people, it's still in progress! I will be posting other pictures.

PIPO,

Bernardo

Thanks, Gengop!

Now, proceeding with the OPS!

Friends from University (as you may imagine, I was the photographer). We have talked about the practice earlier, which was followed by this practice:

Bernardo Neves says:

Nov 19

Yeah, I also agree!
Here is another photo, from a meeting I arranged last Saturday. I took the picture, as usual.

Anita Nuss says:

Bernardo, I love this picture!
Everyone looks like they are experiencing peace.

Who's guitar is it? Hmmm, what about a peace revolution song?

Ursula Leyva says:

Nov 19

Bernardo, you are a peace activist right now!
I am glad your friends are enyojing and it's beautiful you are sharing your peace with them and spreading some happiness to the world. I am totally inspired by you!

Bernardo Neves says:

Thanks to you all for all the nice comments! (I'm sorry I couldn't comment before- I barely accessed the Internet these last few days).

Anita, that is my friend's guitar, and I played it a little during part of their meditation. I agree, a Peace Revolution song would be nice!

So far the Ops has been wonderful. As soon as I take new photos from other practices, I will be posting them!

PIPO,

Bernardo

Hello.
In the next photo, another meditation session with my friend (Fernando, depicted up above in the second photo); this time his older brother (Frederico) joined us.
Although at first he was skeptic of my intention of learning (and now even teaching a little bit)about meditation, it was a good experience after all.

Jamaree Nonthatum says:

Nov 29

Good job Bernardo! I'm so proud of you!

Bernardo Neves says:

Nov 29

Thanks, Jamaree!

In the next photo, that's me with a long-time friend and ex-roommate, which I unfortunately (especially considering he was already interested in these matters) didn't have the opportunity to meditate with. So here it is:

My Friend confided to me that what i thought him is really helpful and inspiring. He personally took this picture of his mediation and sent it to me.

VINCENT4442003 says:

Daily Mediation has become part of me and i have also introduced it to many.

Other work that i do to help humanity. I arranged with professionals to carry out this exercise to ease the pain of malaria in my community. They fumigate the area against malaria disease and other air borne.

Hi! Nice work, Vincent.

Proceeding with the OPS: I have finally meditated with João, my great friend who introduced me the Peace Revolution project, and with his girlfriend Maíra. I suppose many of you who read this may have met him in person!
We haven't meditated together after I've started the the program, so it was about time. His endurance to stay still and keep a good position impressed me!

Peace,

Bernardo

Bernardo Neves says:

This is a good friend of mine(with whom I had already meditated with) and his father.
We had a good time, talked about it and meditated for a little while. Even if they don't keep it as a regular practice, the session was still a good start, an opportunity to share something they probably wouldn't know otherwise.

Peace!

Continuing with the Special Op, after a halt.
This is me and my cousins, Fernanda and Beatriz, at my grandma's house. Now my relatives now that I'm going to Thailand, and are curious about what I'm going to do there.
It's a good opportunity to talk about it, and have a brief meditation with the ones who get interested. It feels good to share my experience, however short, with such a valuable practice.
They liked it and so did I, as I've learned to really enjoy meditating with other people.
I hope they keep practicing at home!

Peace,

Bernardo

It was nice to know that there are still such a lot of good people around.I know you're going to love it in Thailand.
Congratulations!and well come to Thailand.

This is another IPT practice at home, with Matheus, a good friend that I haven't seen in a long time.

I had a pleasant surprise: we were able to stay naturally still, with ease, for a good time(almost 30 minutes), even though it was his first try with meditation.

PIPO,

Bernardo
