One of the things I love during the Relax Kids class is the 'Pass a piece of peace' where we all hold hands and one person squeezes the hand of the person next to them, and they pass it to the next person and the piece of peace goes round the circle.
Can you pass a piece of peace today - perhaps not in a circle - I'm sure you can find another way!
With thanks, Charlie

I have just taken part in the two day training with Marneta Viegas, who has designed a fantasic set of resources to help people teach children to relax.
Inspirational, thought-provoking and very exciting!
Thank you, Marneta!

Gift a stranger
What a great way to pay it forward: http://www.giftastranger.net/
A friend of mine emailed me this link, saying it reminded him of me. It certainly struck a cord! I remember sending a book to a friend of mine many years ago. I didn't see her all that often and promptly forgot all about it. I few months later she got in touch to say she had had a life changing experience and a random book she had been sent had really touched her life. I had thought I had put a slip in to say it was from me and obviously I didn't - we had a good laugh about it.
It made me appreciate how special it can feel to be sent something without knowing who or where it has come from. It helps to restore your faith in humanity and the universe, whether you are the sender or the recipient! A great way of giving and receiving simultaneously!
There is peace in sharing and appreciating that together we have what we need.

Essence
“And waking towards dawn, meditation was the splendour of light for the otherness was there, in an unfamiliar room. Again it was an imminent and urgent peace, not the peace of politicians or of the priests nor of the contented; it was too vast to be contained in space and time, to be formulated by thought or feeling.
…
meditation was the very essence of life.”
…
meditation was the very essence of life.”

Peace in unusual places
Today I discovered peace in a tuba! A local brass band has set up a session for complete beginners and I would certainly say I am that! It was fabulous to try out something so different, and to appreciate the importance that breathing consistently plays...

Peace is...
“Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away."
Robert Fulgham
I like the idea that is is something you give away - I like the idea of 'paying it forward'. Thank you, Robert!
