“Imagine all the people living life in peace…” John Lennon
Tomorrow is the International Day of Peace, and there are lots of ways to participate, whether you stay at home or get out in the community.
1) To find events in your area, visit http://peacemap.unify.org/
2) There is a domino peace meditation at noon local time that you can participate in by spending some time in silence at that time.
3) Lastly, there is THE BIG MOMENT: the Synchronized Global Meditation at noon, PST. Go to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html to find out what time this will be in your time zone (3 PM if you’re on the East Coast). To participate, all you need to do is take a quiet moment, wherever you are. If you’re not a meditator, don’t let that stop you! Just sit down, close your eyes, and let go – of narrating what’s happening, of to do lists, of gripes, of the future, of the past. Really, just do nothing and let go of any thoughts that come up, and whenever you realize you’ve drifted, just bring yourself back to focus on the quiet, the silence, the Peace of the moment. Imagine your intention for a more peaceful world coming together with the same intention being held by people around the world of different cultures, lifestyles, and religions. Imagine all these intentions coming together in a powerful force of change. Gives me goosebumps!
Unify.org has been my main source of information on Peace Day events, but there is stuff all over the web.
Thanks to any of you reading this and all of you who gave some attention to my posts over the past couple weeks. If you’ve shared something, thank you! And if you haven’t, please consider it. The Unify FB page has cool photos with the date and time of the Global Meditation, and feel free to share (even copy, modify, and share) anything I’ve posted over these last couple weeks.
I put my heart and soul into this strange countdown experiment, and it was a humbling, challenging, and ultimately rewarding experience for me. I hope it offered something beneficial to you.
