By only thinking of the process, a wonderful change starts to happen in me and all peacemakers coming together helps me go towards a great PEACE for all the planet. It is hard to explain in words. Maria Luisa, Spain.
Beloved peacemakers, when I get your updates, my self connects instantly with that source or love, wisdom and surrender that we all come from. It is there, where peace manifests, simply because of what it is. Before reading JR and JM quotes or the intro, my heart is already pouring out and singing with joy: I love you, God Bless you, Peace, be still.!! Thank you for allowing me to share it, for letting me be part of it. EC, Argentina.
2. How did the prayers make a difference in your life? Please share what you learned or discovered about your own process toward peace and "Peace is cessation of againstness."
During the day, I'm still doing things from my ego perspective some times, especially when I drive. And doing the prayers reminds me every time how better I feel when I'm sharing and giving to others. Every time I see the email coming through, it takes me back to my oneness. It makes me feel like a servant of God. Lehita, Reunion Island
A significant and on-going reminder that peace begins with me. I learned that I can view challenges as opportunities to grow in coming from a peaceful place. Judy, USA
When I want to honk my horn at someone, I remember that peace is a cessation of againstness. Laurie, USA
When I receive the emails I return to the feeling that all is ok and I am not alone. I find Peace in these moments and its wonderful! Meenoy, Nigeria
I am aware that when I am for peace all againstness stops. I love to live peace and I am reminded every time the prayers are in my inbox. I am so grateful to IIWP for being there for me, us and the world. Inger, Canada
The prayers always came at the perfect moment. I discovered that peace was always present, I found myself saying throughout this time period that I feel so peaceful inside....even when things were not so peaceful on the outside physical world. Sharon, USA
My experience is that when I Bless people, situations and things, and leave the rest to God, I become peace. Mavi, Mexico
For me, the hardest part was stopping what I was doing to do it. I found myself resisting to go to that quiet place when I had a lot on my mind/agenda and/or was in fast forward mode. I had to regain the Peace inside me (which many times I was not aware in the moment that I was out-of-Peace) before I could move on Blessing and sending Peace out to the world! Gail, USA
The above intention opened me to the idea of cessation of againstness, to the harmony and powerfulness of "peace be still-I love you - God bless you". Its a sort of a Song in me. It brought me to work with the forgiveness innerphasing, the meditation of forgiveness and specially with the beauty of the meditation of Peace from JR. A great joy. Christ innerphasing brought me to a more powerful effect gained when saying"I love you" and I could observe that effect also in the peace process. I got close to the Ho'oponopono peace process and am deepening my understanding of it. Dominique, Chile
I had infinite opportunities in various surgical rehab situations and hospital visits where I silently sent the Peace Prayer to all the patients, the staff, the visitors, and the family members I saw. Loise, USA
Doing the peace prayers gave a good start to my day. Not remembering to do the peace prayers during the day (especially in challenging situations) brought headaches. Jubiline, Nigeria
It has been so valuable to return to cessation of againstness for my own healing, non-judgment to enhance my relationships and service as a result. Margaret, USA
Attune myself more to the ocean or Love and PEACE. Each time I remembered the prayer I chanted it and I was moved to a strength of love and mercy. I was also using it when I thought I was not being loving and peaceful. I still have a lot to do to cease the againstness, however the most important is to be able to stop myself immediately when I am being antagonistic and "change" my attitude Maria Luisa, Spain
I love reading the peace prayer at the start of my day; it really does put me in a peaceful groove and enable me to be more alert and aware as to when I might find myself during the day out of the peace groove. Robert, USA
