When the world seems full of problems that are bigger than us, there is something we can do.
We know there are a lot of people who have a heavy heart from the violence that is taking place in Ukraine, as well as other areas around the world.
In these times, it feels like there is nothing we can do yet is that really true?
Have you ever heard of the Maharishi Effect? It’s the idea that individual brain waves can affect the collective consciousness.
The exact science on how the brain waves of a small meditating group can affect the actions of the greater population hasn’t been fully explained, yet there are nearly 50 studies have been done on the subject and have been reported in prestigious publications.
The Maharishi Effect: How group meditations create world peace:
A group of meditators creates a large field of positive energy in the field of consciousness, which can support clearing and then transmuting the negativity of the environment. Negative social trends are reversed into positive trends. As studies have proven, they improve the economic situation, increase peace and reduce crime. The Maharishi Effect shows that if 1% of the population meditates it produce measurable improvements in the quality of life for the whole population. Numerous studies have already proven this effect.
And with this concept in mind, we invite you to do this Metta Sangha so that each of us as individuals can help by adding to the collective consciousness the energy of promoting peace.
This Metta Sangha can serve not only to reduce your personal stress and anxiety about the situation in Ukraine and violence in the world, but potentially make an actual difference in the outcome.
