From PeacefulWarriors.net: Proof That Group Meditation Can Change The World<\/em><\/span> \u201cMeditation has the potential to literally transform the world.\u00a0 In 1978, what is known as the \u201cMaharishi Effect<\/em>\u201d took place when a group of 7000 individuals over the course of 3 weeks were meditating in hopes of positively effecting the surrounding city.\u00a0 They were able to literally transform the collective energy of the city which reduced global crime rates, violence, and casualties during the times of their meditation by an average of 16%.\u00a0 Suicide rates and automobile accidents also were reduced with all variables accounted for.\u00a0 In fact, there was a 72% reduction in terrorist activity during the times at which this group was meditation.<\/span><\/p>\n Almost 50 studies have been done further confirming the benefits of global meditation and it\u2019s direct impact on everything in the world, even so far as to have the results published in the Journal of Crime and Justice in 1981.\u00a0 We know meditation has endless health and psychological benefits, but it is now being explored by politics and sociology because of its undeniable energetic impact.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, a day-by-day study of a two-month assembly in Israel during August and September of 1983 showed that, on days when the number of participants at a peace-creating assembly was high, the intensity of an ongoing war in neighboring Lebanon decreased sharply.\u00a0 When the number of participants was high, war deaths in Lebanon dropped by 76%.<\/span><\/p>\n When the study was repeated in Wales, they got amazing results.\u00a0 In 1987 Merseyside had the third highest crime rate of the eleven largest Metropolitan Areas in England and Wales; by 1992 it had the lowest crime rate.\u00a0 40% below levels predicted by the previous behavior of the series.\u00a0 There were 255,000 less crimes in Merseyside from 1988 to 1992 than would have been expected had Merseyside continued to follow the national crime trend.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cResults like these lead us to see personal meditation is powerful beyond what we understand from our everyday perspective.\u00a0 It drives home the awe-inspiring fact \u2018thoughts are things.\u2019\u00a0 When we think a thought, it is a form of fine vibrational matter contributing to the creation of all that we experience.\u00a0 These effects are powerful and life changing for individuals and when people come together and use intention to direct their mental energy towards a collective vision, the results are LITERALLY world-changing. \u201c<\/em><\/strong><\/span> \u201cI think the claim can be plausibly made that the potential impact of this research exceeds that of any other ongoing social or psychological research program.\u00a0 It has survived a broader array of statistical tests than most research in the field of conflict resolution.\u00a0 This work and the theory that informs it deserve the most serious consideration by academics and policy makers alike.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/span> What can meditation do for your health, wellness and fulfillment?<\/span><\/p>\n blessings,<\/span> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n (Photos by Google and PeacefulWarriors.net)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From PeacefulWarriors.net: Proof That Group Meditation Can Change The World February 4, 2015 \u201cMeditation has the potential to literally transform the world.\u00a0 In 1978, what is known as the \u201cMaharishi Effect\u201d took place when a group of 7000 individuals over the course of 3 weeks were meditating in hopes of positively effecting the surrounding…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":229,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6,22,10,1,2,7,3,11,4],"tags":[12,76,29,13,14,72,15,21,9,77,17,19],"class_list":["post-16164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-acknowledgement","category-communication","category-divine-love","category-empowerment","category-personal-growth","category-professional-development","category-relationships","category-success","category-transformation","category-wealth","tag-challenge","tag-divine-love","tag-faith","tag-fascination","tag-fear","tag-gentle","tag-growth","tag-health","tag-inspiration","tag-meditation","tag-opportunity","tag-path-to-success"],"yoast_head":"\n
