Inner Peace Guided Meditation for the Whole Wide World ~ Sunday October 6 2024

Group Meditation at 7 pm PDT, 8 pm MDT, 9 pm CDT, 10 pm EDT

Why are we doing these Inner Peace Meditations every Sunday?

There are several reasons that we might be taking the time to do these meditations. 

One reason I do them is that I know we are making a difference in the state of the World!  When good-hearted people gather with a specific intent to generate goodwill, or loving-kindness, or to increase the Peace in our turbulent world, it works.  We know this because we now have technology refined enough to track the impact of these coherent groups.

I know we don't need to be perfect to accomplish this.  I also know most of us have enough experience with Mindfulness and Meditation that we can participate and benefit personally as well as make a difference. 

Another major reason is that I benefit tremendously by doing these meditations.  Some weeks I am not able to sit at our specific time, but I get it done sometime during that day.  And, I sleep better that night as well!

Some of us have shared experiences from living in spiritual communities.  Some of us have specific daily spiritual practices.  And, we all share the intention of making this World a kinder and safer place for Everyone!

When our human world goes through any kind of major change such as the Second Industrial Revolution (1870 to 1914) or the current and very speedy revolution in technology, it causes widespread social upheaval.

It took 2.4 million years for our ancestors to control fire and use it for cooking, but only 66 years for us to go from the first flight to humans landing on the moon.

This kind of change puts tremendous pressure on all our social structures.  When we have high-speed social change, people are displaced, food production may fail or be delayed, prices often increase and people panic!  This is when our real work begins.  Will we add to the chaos and panic, or will we create peace and generate loving-kindness and compassion?

Unfortunately, some people seek power to take advantage of the fear and confusion.  They are not interested in solving problems or finding better solutions.  They create chaos and generate fear to gain personal power.

Rapid social change can be very dangerous and difficult.  We can use the energy of change to create a better world that serves everyone and protects the environment.  Or, we can choose to add to the chaos.  It is our choice  

Jane Goodall is one of my favorite people and an excellent example of someone who is clearly making the world a better place with her Roots and Shoots Program.  She is amazing!

Whatever your reason for doing these meditations, thank you!  And, thank you for Everything you do Everyday to make this World a better place for all the Crazy Humans and all Creatures Great and Small.

Take really good care of yourself and

Remember to Breathe ...
