I am also into taichi and meditation, but I also simply enjoy the work. I think one of the reasons that I can love it so much is that I focus on wherever my efforts are most effective. When I am getting stuck and frustrated I move my efforts to anot…
I agree with you, Emeka, that inner peace and smiling cannot be inter-connected. At least it does not happen so with me. Inner peace is a different state of being and may also bring about smile. But I find that in most cases a smile is due to extern…

The conflict transformation approach seeks constructive change from conflict. The model can be very much helpful for peacbuilding in many counties facing conflict and violence. It would be better if the capacity of conflict actors in Nepal can be bu…
