Special Retreat Thailand January 2003

I consider myself to be a generally peaceful person. Outwardly my speech and actions are normally non-violent. However, I am sometimes surprised by thoughts occurring in which violence is a theme. Perhaps I am observing events, or perhaps I am suffering at the hands of a violent person, or sometimes I am even the perpetrator of a violent act. Mahatma Ghandi has emphasized the need to redirect actions, speech and thoughts towards non-violence. Can you recommend any techniques to help achieve this, especially the violent thoughts?
