Tips

* To get ongoing access to the peace within, you will need to find a way to access the experience directly -- to live peacefully.
* The peace is lost due to our own disturbability of mind, which is due to subclinical neuroendocrine and autonomic imbalance and lack of focus and conviction. This can be rectified by namasmaran and pranayam which compliment every other measure to attain peace.
* Buddhists use this technique and may eventually achieve what they call enlightenment.


Warnings

* The experience of peace cannot be created by mental exercises or physical exertions. Sometimes they allow you to get a glimpse of the peace within.
