World Peace Meditation Day

There are a lot of eyewitness observations about the ability of a person to influence the surrounding reality with his thoughts. Group meditations create a powerful energy message that multiplies the intentions of one individual. The most famous example of this phenomenon was the work of special groups deployed to the Middle East in 1982-1985 during the Lebanese-Israeli war. Transcendental meditations of people who are able to experience peace within themselves and radiate a state of harmony have reduced the number of murders, terrorist attacks and road accidents several times. The synergy effect increases the degree of impact on the surrounding reality, which changes the person himself and the life around him. The researchers noted that once volunteers in war-torn areas of the Middle East stopped focusing on experiencing peace and quiet, everything returned to normal. Every year, enthusiasts and simply caring people propose to repeat the experience of 40 years ago - to try to influence the psycho-emotional background of people living in hot spots in different parts of the Earth. Therefore, December 31 is celebrated as the Day of Meditation for Peace on the Planet. To successfully conduct spiritual practice, a number of conditions must be met. Scientists have calculated that to have a positive impact on reality, you need a small number of people capable of starting a healthier world. For a city with 1 million inhabitants, 100 volunteers are enough, for a region with 6 billion - 800 people, i.e. their number should be equal to the square root of 1% of the population. The necessary effect is achieved not from wishes and prayers asking for peace, but from focusing on the internal experience of harmony and peace by the participants in meditation. World Peace Meditation Day encourages people to try their hand at this difficult but noble task. The practice of transcendental meditation, based on the results of scientific research, is called the “Maharishi effect.” Experts conducted more than 40 studies of this phenomenon from 1974 to 1990. The effectiveness of group meditation, the author of which belongs to the Hindu Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, after whom it received its name, has been confirmed in practice. In regions where a small percentage of people regularly put their psyche into a state of experiencing peace, crime rates, road accidents and other incidents decrease. Meditation contributes to the internal development of a person, stabilization of his nervous system, expansion of consciousness, and recovery from chronic diseases. “Acquire a peaceful spirit, and thousands will be saved around you,” Seraphim of Sarov instructed his students. A spiritually perfect person, or one who is approaching the ideal, should share his experience with other people, try to make them happy and fill their life with harmony. To this end, the Day of Meditation on Peace on the Planet is held annually on December 31st.
