War Has Been Ineffective In Creating Peace In The Middle East - Laurie Pappas Offers A Practical And Effective Approach In New Book

04-27-2011 08:19 AM CET | Arts & Culture

Press release from: Laurie Pappas

Many people believe that peace comes about as the result of war. Dr. Laurie Pappas disagrees. Dr. Pappas, author of ‘The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict To Peace’, believes that genuine, lasting peace must begin with the individual. As a follow-up to her book, she now offers practical instruction on this topic in a series of teleseminars.

“Peace is a process,” stated Dr. Pappas, “something that’s obviously not going to happen over night, but every step along the way brings us closer. Sometimes military intervention is needed, such as in the case of Libya right now. But there is more we can do individually. Our minds are contained within a Divine Spirit energy that lives within all of us, whether we live in America, Libya, or elsewhere in the Middle East. This is an ocean of energy in which thoughts play an important role. They move back and forth freely in this energetic field, affecting everyone and everything. Our thoughts here can influence the behavior and thoughts of people millions of miles away. If we’re thinking hateful, judgmental or condemning thoughts, they are received by every other being on this planet. We all contribute to the well being or ill health of our planet just by what we choose to place in our minds. How can we best use our individual minds to help bring about peace in this war torn region? Choose thoughts of compassion, forgiveness, and wishes for freedom from strife for the Libyan people, Gaddafi included.”

Dr. Pappas presents her approach in 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace'. The book is supplemented by a workbook entitled 'The Loving Heart Companion'. Dr. Pappas has included over 30 years of observation and wisdom gained from personal experiences, as well as working with students, clients, family members and colleagues.

“Teleclasses,” continued Dr. Pappas, “on such subjects as forgiveness, surrender and the Mirroring Principle, help us to mend the fearful, anxious and angry states of mind that accompany us each day. The concepts taught help us to uproot any disturbing thoughts we may have, and replace them with calm, peaceful ones, freeing us to extend hopeful, caring thoughts into regions of the world, like Libya, that so critically need our nonviolent, harmonic energy.”

Dr. Pappas offers phone and in-person spiritual and metaphysical counseling, in addition to life coaching, classes, workshops, speaking engagements and teleclasses. Her teleclass schedule for Spring 2011 is as follows (all times EST):

Wed. April 27 All You Want to Know about Forgiveness 12:00-1:15 pm
