only time can tell. but i beleive i often find it when painting beautiful women

Generally chocolate + reading (sci-fi or Jane Austen depending on my mood! )

Ummmm not sure, but lager and wine would be a good start

I find a number of approaches can be helpful in finding inner peace...

The Eightfold path, as taught by the Gautama.
A rejection of consumerism and the modern credo of always wanting more.
Extensive use of Alcohol, Tobacco, recreational drugs, good music, and Championship Manager.
Learning to take out anger and frustration on inanimate objects (doors can be particularly helpful, but pillows lack the necessary bite-back to be truly helpful).
Sitting at home, in the nothing-like-the-lotus position, with pizza, garlic bread, a tub of ice cream (preferably Haagen Dazs' Cookie Dough, but there are alternatives) and my favourite self-indulgent flick of the mo.

Learning not to take anything in life too seriously can help as well (least of all yourself)...

I finally found out what Inner Peace was and how to achieve it so I'm passing my findings onto you all

I was told I would only find Inner Peace if I finished things I started so .....




Today I finished two bags of Crisps, A chocolate pudding, a large box of Chocolates and A bottle of wine

And I feel better already

How will you find your Inner Peace?

I have just been informed by my Green Guru that I need to learn to love myself.....Heck I learnt that when I was twelve!!! Also she said something about putting goats to bed

Maybe I'll stick to pretending that nothing is important and doing my best not to think,,,,about anything,ever

I find inner peace through external loudness.

The words Boogie and Mesa are involved.

Caipirinha, epee, airsofts, dinosaur rock music and Id first person shooters. I find those work well for me.

I'm most relaxed when I have music on in my car (although nothing about the music is relaxing ) I think my neighbours are probably sick of me pulling up with the volume blaring in the car (I keep telling myself its just a phase )

Otherwise you can't beat good chocolate or a big hug

A big bowl of almost home made cream of mushroom soup and big chunks of fresh soft white bread with butter on in front of the fire while watching vid of choice.
Reading with non-stop supply of tea/coffee.
Chocolate.
A glass of port.
'Dancing' to whatever currently rocks my boat (possibly some little known internet radio station)
Chillin' with friends.
Milk bottle sweets.
Knowing I have friends.

I have it - don't ask me how I got it - a very long personal road to travel.

It wobbles occasionally - but I just remember how much I have to be grateful for.

A large piece of Lapis Lazuli and Snowflake Obsidian.
Neroli and Rosewood oils

Friends

Snuggled up in my fantastic snuggly bed with candles and oils burning and chilling out with my own thoughts.

Peace Be
Whao - I'm chilled now!
(Sorry if that's all a bit intense! )

i only find inner peace (if i can call it that) is when i listen to music, not any music, just one of those songs that penetrate straight thru you, it ungolfs your whole being and is what you breathe. Its not a happy song but a low toned depressive song that shows how you feel, one where you decide the meaning.

hmm, went a bit heavy there...

inner peace can also be found in a pint of snakebite...that better?

I get my inner peace from music, sunshine, and just when life seems good. Also, when I feel i can love myself

I find my inner peace when listening to music and when I'm not at work! I also feel more peaceful when I know that the people closest to me are happy and chilled.
