No more war and terrorism because of meditation

Every day, when you open the newspaper, check out your smartphone, visit your social media pages or turn on your television, you’re touched by all the shocking events that are happening everywhere in the world. It may seem like we have no power to influence these awful events. But we surely can. By mutually focusing on making this world a better place, we can positively affect this. The question that remains is: How?

Global Meditation organizations

Every day, organizations, schools and other institutes from cities all over the world are working towards something called ‘global consciousness.’ People come together to meditate in parks where they focus their minds on creating less crime, improve happiness and decrease traffic collisions. A contemporary term for it is City Meditation. There are various organizations that aim to bring out loving kindness, which is the antidote to war. They believe that when millions of people around the globe embrace patience, loving-kindness, and compassion, world peace will become a reality.

Proven studies in the past

During an experiment in the early 1980s, during the height of the Lebanon war, 1,000 people in Jerusalem meditated on world peace. Not only did war deaths in Lebanon go down by 75 percent; crime, fires, and other destructive events also went down on the days the group meditated.

In 1984 a study took place at three different gatherings of over 7000 people who did meditation each morning and evening for three consecutive weeks. The results were quite eye-opening. Some scientists believe this is due to a coherent resonance being created in the Unified Quantum Field by those meditating. The 7,000 people meditating created a Field Effect of harmonious coherence that spread throughout the collective–which, it is believed, helped to reduce acts of terrorism.

There are even groups of people meditating in war zones.
