The details of this discussion highlight the practice of inner peace through mindfulness and conscious breathing. Peace and happiness reside in the absence of negative thoughts and can be accessed at any moment, like data on a computer. Mindfulness allows us to touch our heart and feel inner peace. The community of practice, or Sangha, plays an essential role by offering support and grounding. Walking meditation and conscious breathing are methods to cultivate inner peace, by staying present and letting go of painful thoughts. The true practice consists of tasting peace and happiness from the very beginning, by touching our heart and fully living each moment.
