Inner Peace Guided Meditation for the Whole Wide World ~ Sunday August 25 2024

Inner Peace Meditation ~ 7 pm PDT, 8 pm MDT, 9 pm CDT, 10 pm EDT

You may have noticed that the United States is in a political flurry right now, following the DNC convention in Chicago.  One of the obvious problems with politics is that it is polarizing.  People are encouraged to take sides and see people who don’t agree with them as the “other”.  This does not generate “peace and tranquility” in the nation or the world.

Add to that all the restlessness and upheaval in the world and we have a very messy situation.  Fortunately, there are hundreds and thousands of people all around the world who are doing their best every day to create a better and saner world.  Scientific studies of Buddhist monks and nuns who have a specific meditation practice have shown that they are usually less stressed, have more coherent heart rhythms, and often have a smaller amygdala.  The size of our amygdala is related to how stressed or fearful we tend to be. (very minimal explanation)

We know, just by searching Facebook or YouTube, there are so many groups doing all kinds of spiritual practices to be more centered, calm, coherent, compassionate, and healthy.  There are also many groups doing coherent heart meditations for the World.

My experience is that every bit of our effort to raise consciousness does make a difference.  In most situations we are not able to measure “this effect”, but our technology is getting better and better.  One early study was done by Rene Peoc’h, a French researcher who wanted to study the possibility that “intention” might have an effect in our world.  In 1988 he started with a computerized robot set up as a random event generator.  He set it loose in a small arena and it turned left half the time and right half the time.  This established that it was generating “events” randomly.

Then he allowed newborn Baby Chicks “to imprint” on the generator.  After that the chicks were placed into a cage so they could see the generator, but were not able to get to it.  Over time, the pattern of movement for the robot random generator changed. Its moves were clustered near the chicks’ cage !!!  The robot was no longer moving randomly.  It had gravitated to be near the Baby Chicks !!!  The other great thing about this “study” is that it was easy to replicate and the results were the same!

If Baby Chicks can influence a random event generator, then might it be possible for focused groups of Human Beings to influence the “mind of the world”?  Or, put another way, “a rising tide lifts all boats” !!!  That’s us as well as other groups.  Our Intention combined with our Practice plus all our efforts = greater coherence and calm within us that creates a strong resonance for the Whole Wide World.

Thank You for Showing Up !!!

Have a Wonderful Week, and …

Remember to Breathe.
