Promoting Peace Through Meditation
Peace psychology book series January 1, 2019 Mirjam Quinn 1 citation
Peacebuilding is often studied at large social or political scales, but some researchers argue that cultivating peace within the individual is a necessary first step. This chapter proposes a theoretical framework that links peacefulness to intrapersonal socioemotional skills: mindful awareness, emotion regulation, and compassion. These protective skills are presented as foundational for building peace on broader ecological levels.
