Inner Peace Guided Meditation for the Whole Wide World ~ Do Our Really Meditations Matter?

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

For centuries religious and spiritual groups have come together to pray, usually for a healing or a better world.  Although I am not sure that praying for Victory during the Crusades would qualify.  Of course, prayers for ending the Crusades would definitely count.

When we do our Inner Peace Meditation for the Whole Wide World on Sundays, we are being as inclusive as possible.  We are doing a "time-out" from our busy days to go within and rest in that place of Inner Peace.  If nothing else was the result, at the very least, each of us would be more Peaceful and Coherent.  That alone is a Blessing to the world.  Remember, if that specific time doesn't work for you, just do your meditation whenever you can!

Many of us know from direct experience that our spiritual practices and our prayers can improve whole neighborhoods.  We have seen that over time, our prayers and our service in our communities open hearts, as well as doors for all kinds of good change. 

We also have excellent guidance from the Gospels.  Jesus is quoted as saying, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God (Kingdom of Heaven)!'  When he was asked where this "kingdom" was, he replied, "The Kingdom of God is wiithin.".  This is a very short and specific answer to the question posed by the Sadducees and the Pharisees!  If he said anything more, it is not recorded.

When we go within and rest with our Heart, we are turning our attention away from the busy world, from all the distractions and confusions, and just plain ol" noise.  We are consciously and deliberately seeking Inner Peace, Inner Guidance, and the healing that comes from within.

Studies have shown that the longer we linger within this place of peace and calm, we more we benefit.  Usually, our heart rate slows down, and our blood pressure goes down as well.  Also, our endocrine system begins to produce a whole cascade of healthy chemicals such as endorphins!  The longer we linger within, the electromagnetic field of our heart is strengthened.

How do we know all this ... ???  Because scientists from many fields have been using technology to track all this for years, actually since the last century!  So, here we are, centuries after Jesus and even longer since the Buddha was teaching compassion and loving-kindness, gathering with the intention of spreading Inner Peace wherever it will go.  Our intention is to be a Blessing to Everyone and every Creature, everywhere, so we are deeply blessed as well.

Thank You for showing up and thank you for all the good you do every day.

Take good care of yourself ...

And remember to Breathe.
