Finding the Middle Way

Events in the world have made it very clear that there has to be another way to approach the concept of peace. This issue is dedicated to using the Intuitive Learning Games to connect to Love as a means or pathway to find peace within ourselves.

Intuitive Learning is a Process to Help Individuals, Groups and Organizations Find the Middle Way

The Middle Way is:

• Sustainable
• Non-polarized
• Based on the Laws of Nature
• Innovative Towards a Peace-based Economy
• Tolerant.

Last June, we talked about how the Intuitive Learning Circles are like gateways into the mind and the words that go with them open the gate to understanding. This month’s issue is filled with games that will help you do that with peace.

Each game gives you opportunities to explore the concept of peace in multiple aspects of your life:

• lifting personal or group consciousness
• creating social change peacefully
• communication
• self-knowledge and meditation
• recovery from traumatic events or illness
• self-care and acceptance
• comprehensive structure for living in tune with nature
• masterminding and planning for success.

Some games are free, some are available for a small fee - all are effective.

If you have questions about how to play or apply any of the games, you can go to our blog at http://www.intuitivelearningcircle.com/news/ and send me an email, I’d be happy to give you clarification.

Favorite Game for Creating a Tipping Point: The 100th Monkey

No peace-keeping event is complete without this consciousness-raising game called The 100th Monkey. Please feel free to download your complimentary copy to use at your next meeting, pro-peace or green event. All that is required is for us to receive appropriate credit and for the game to be presented in its entirety.

Sacred Cow Tipping

Let’s see what “Sacred Cows” we can tip around the idea of peace.

Remember that we are defining a Sacred Cow as “a bizarre combination of attrition, malfeasance and abuse, originally derived from a concept that had some merit until a group of people bent, twisted and perverted it into a philosophy, doctrine, or point of law that no longer bears any resemblance to the original intention”.

This month’s Monument to Contradiction is actually three separate, yet intimately related Sacred Cows:

“Peace is the Opposite of War.”
“The Way to Create Peace is by Waging War.”
“Peace is Something You Can Enforce.”

Once you tip all three, I think you will see how these Sacred Cows perpetrate their negative effects on us all. Maybe one of the reasons we find peace so difficult to find is because we’re not very clear about what it really means. When your mind is confused by contradicting definitions, it projects chaos out into the world and then reacts to what it perceives with anger or fear. Clarifying what peace means to you gives you an opportunity to respond differently.

When you play, it makes a difference.

Tips for Peaceful Communication

Here’s another tip to help you when you want to communicate something difficult:
There is a free game on our website called “Heartfelt Communication”.

Use it when you want to express something that you are afraid will cause a negative reaction.
Maybe you are in the middle of a tense situation at home or work. You know that you want to speak up and express your truth, yet you’re not quite sure how to do it.
Play the game for each point you want to communicate and it will help you to clear up inner conflicts and negative conditioning that get in the way of understanding. Not only that, it may bring up important points that you hadn’t really considered. When you are at peace with your own message, it will take on a new power and you will be more effective in finding a peaceful resolution.

Taming the Bear

In this game, the Bear is our own over-active reactions to people in the news, social behavior or groupthink. Our goal is to minimize the damage we do to ourselves and others when we let the Bear take over.
Gateway to Peace is a free meditation game to help quiet your mind:
1. It allows you to detach from negative emotions such as fear, desperation, and panic which feed your Inner Bear. When you stop feeding your Inner Bear, you also stop feeding the larger Collective Bear.
2. Once your mind is clear, you can tap into a “reservoir of peace” that is always there. It’s just that a busy mind often misses the gateway that accesses that peace.
3. Once you access that peace, you can make significant changes in your point of view.
4. Once you can change your point of view, solutions and new thinking processes become available to you.

At Peace with the Past

This is a difficult time of year for many people. If you or someone you know is wrestling with traumatic memories from the past, download Soul Oriented Solutions. It could help you to gain perspective on your situation. Having perspective creates a sense of peace and reconciliation. Go to our bookstore and scroll down to the bottom of the page. There you will find the link to your free copy of SOS.

A Soul Resources Treasure – Learning to Accept Help, Love, and Miracles

Peace truly does come from within. Yet it is often very difficult to understand how it gets blocked. When you are struggling with yourself to make changes, finish a project or improve your behavior, acceptance is the only answer that will set you free. Fighting, denial, avoidance, and fear only provides more fuel for your troubles to continue.

This month’s Treasure, called Stop the Sabotage is available to help you whenever you’re dealing with your inner saboteur.

Use this game when you are:
~ Feeling trapped
~ Unable to finish a project
~ Getting in your own way
~ Being stubborn or have a hidden agenda
~ Entrenched in negative thinking
~ Feeling hopeless and about ready to give up on your dreams.
Go to our online bookstore and order your copy to use again and again.
